Global shares rose on Friday, while the dollar vibrated when investors enjoyed what might be a short moment after US President Donald Trump’s reciprocity rate was not immediately subject to, suggesting space for negotiations.
Trump’s plan to impose a reciprocal tariff for each country imposed US import tax has triggered fears of extensive trade war, pushing the price of gold to the highest record earlier this week. Gold is set for the seventh consequences in a row.
Instructions from Trump on Thursday stopped imposing new tariffs, instead of starting what could be a week or month of investigation of levies imposed on US goods by other trading partners and then compiled a response.
“While global financial markets may tend to take assistance from delays in the imposition of reciprocal tariffs, it is not clear to us whether the delay reflects the lower possibilities that they will eventually be imposed,” Barclays analyst said in a record.
Trump last week began a trade war, first by imposing tariffs in Mexico and Canada and then stopped for a moment, but still use the duty on Chinese goods.
“It seems that Trump’s skin is once again proven to be worse than his bite in terms of trade,” said Michael Brown, a senior research strategy expert at Peppertone.
“However, it did not stop the main thing that was rather tiring, or Yo-Yo’s price action accompanied it, because participants wrestled with whatever the latest stories, and tried to discount it.”

James Ooi, a market strategy expert at Tiger Brokers, said that the general meeting driven by Deepseek seems to have been reversed in the short term, but a sustainable general meeting will depend on the ability of the Chinese technology sector to monetize AI.
“While Chinese technology companies trade with lower assessments, their dependence on domestic income limits their potential to achieve a level of assessment that is proportional to the global technology giant … They (also) face increased supervision of privacy and security issues,” said Ooi .
