China Weighs Accelerated Stimulus as Trade War Heats Up
Beijing is reportedly considering fast-tracking monetary stimulus measures to cushion the economic blow from President Donald Trump’s sweeping new tariffs, according to updates from Trade The News.
The discussions come amid rising financial turbulence, with Trump doubling down on his tough stance. Over the weekend, he reiterated that no trade agreement will be made with China unless the U.S. trade deficit is resolved. The renewed tension has sent global markets reeling — including a sharp drop in bitcoin, which fell below the $80,000 mark.
Goldman Sachs has revised its outlook, now forecasting 130 basis points in Federal Reserve rate cuts for 2025, up from 105 basis points just days earlier. Meanwhile, analysts expect the Reserve Bank of Australia to roll out four rate cuts in an effort to support growth amid global instability.
