The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed slightly up by 91 points after rising as much as 206 points in the early trading session in New York, ahead of the midday deal signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incremental trade deal inked by US President Donald Trump and Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He in Washington marked the long-expected truce of a drawn-out trade war between the two countries that has gone on for 18 months. Included in the deal is a commitment from Beijing to buy roughly US$200 billion of American goods and services over two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The index has risen 14 per cent since the end of August, when the two countries announced trade negotiations had resumed after a summer hiatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWall Street loves this deal as it is,\u201d Trump said at the signing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday\u2019s signing in the East Room of the White House, however, isn\u2019t an antidote of a host of broader issues that could rock the markets going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMarkets hate tariffs, markets love any moves towards de-escalation,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bdapartners.com\/team\/euan-rellie\/\">Euan Rellie<\/a>, founder of BDA Partners, an Asia-focused investment bank based in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut it\u2019s not good news that most of the tariffs are still in place for a year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rellie continued: \u201cWe have a problem, particularly about Chinese tech. On the one hand, we ask the Chinese to buy more products, on the other hand, we are terrified China will use the technology against us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump\u2019s China-hawk trade adviser Peter Navarro, also painted bleak view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week, Navarro said that China has committed \u201cseven deadly sins\u201d: cyberattacks; intellectual property theft; forced technology transfers; steel dumping; unfair competition by state-owned enterprises; currency manipulation and allowing fentanyl shipments that helped fuel the US opioid crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith this phase one, we are not halfway there to resolve all the issues with China, not even a quarter,\u201d said Patrick Chovanec, chief strategist at Silvercrest Asset Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe see a lot of enthusiasm in the markets. People think all of a sudden we are going into the new year and trade uncertainties will disappear,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s really premature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the tariffs the two nations have applied to each other\u2019s products remain in place. While the deal preserves the majority of duties the US has slapped on US$360 billion worth of Chinese goods, it suspends tariffs on about US$162 billion in Chinese goods threatened for December and halves an existing 15 per cent duty on imports worth another US$110 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China will not be lifting any of the retaliatory tariffs it has imposed on US$110 billion worth of American goods as part of the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across the Pacific, futures indicate Asian markets will open higher Thursday, according to Rory Green, an analyst focused on China and north Asia at research firm TS Lombard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cChina equities are set to move higher as the sentiment in Beijing and wider populace improves, the economy continues to stabilize, and stimulus starts to come through,\u201d said Green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond tariffs, however, numerous other issues continue to plague the US-China relationship, Chovanec said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For one, Huawei Technologies, the Chinese telecommunications giant that is the focus of concerted attacks and restrictions by Washington, will remain a contentious issue as the war to dominate global 5G telecoms networks continues to heat up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC on Wednesday that Huawei\u2019s access to US markets will be dealt with as a security threat, apart from the trade disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur national security issues are our primary concern,\u201d Mnuchin said. \u201cSo when it comes to our government networks, when it comes to sophisticated business networks, military networks, and networks of all of our allies we want to make sure those networks are fully secure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration has put Huawei on an \u201centity list\u201d since May to restrict its business in the US, fearing that the company is obliged to hand over sensitive information transmitted over its systems to the Chinese government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And politically, Chovanec said, further economic decoupling between China and the US \u2013 a course advocated by China hawks in Washington \u2013 would not be stopped because of the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heading into this presidential election year, the question remains whether there will be an incentive to beat up China to stir Trump\u2019s base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investments including mergers as well as early-stage venture deals between the two countries are not expected to pick back up either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDeals have dried up because the [geopolitical] uncertainty has been so high,\u201d Chovanec said. \u201cAfter the phase one, uncertainty remains high and US regulators are getting tougher on Chinese investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BDA\u2019s Rellie agreed: \u201cI expect to see some pockets of increased deal activities in health care, biotech [and] consumer, particularly in the financial services industry. But I am not expecting much of an overall uptick in mergers and acquisitions between the two countries. Capital flows will remain very low.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9094,"template":"","class_list":["post-9093","bdanews","type-bdanews","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
