Trump-Xi Trade Truce Sends Stocks Tumbling – Markets Brace for Tech Earnings and Fed Moves

Trump-Xi Trade Truce Sends Stocks Tumbling – Markets Brace for Tech Earnings and Fed Moves

At the APEC summit in Busan on Thursday, Trump and Xi touted progress but agreed only to roll back recent trade escalations. Under their framework, Beijing will pause new controls on rare-earth minerals for one year, resume soybean purchases, and work to halt illicit fentanyl exports. In exchange, Trump said U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut to 47% of their original levels reuters.com. Trump hailed the talks as “amazing” and rated them “12” on a 10-point scale reuters.com, but analysts note the deal stops short of addressing deeper issues reuters.com. As Reuters observes, it amounts to a “fragile truce” rather than a lasting reset reuters.com. Emily Kilcrease of the Center for a New American Security calls it merely “de-escalation of measures that both sides have taken” since the trade war began reuters.com. Bloomberg concurs that the agreements essentially unwind recent punitive steps while promising talks on other fronts bloomberg.com.

No More Buttons?! iPhone 20 Leak Teases Radical 2027 Redesign & Camera Shake-Up

No More Buttons?! iPhone 20 Leak Teases Radical 2027 Redesign & Camera Shake-Up

Apple appears poised to fundamentally change how we interact with the iPhone by the time its 20th anniversary rolls around in 2027. According to a reliable Chinese leaker, the special “iPhone 20” edition will eliminate every physical button on the device macrumors.com appleinsider.com. Instead of clickable mechanical keys for power, volume, and other functions, the phone’s aluminum frame itself would serve as the input surface – with pressure-sensitive areas and haptic feedback mimicking the feel of clicks. In other words, no moving parts: you’d press on a solid piece of the iPhone’s side, and built-in sensors plus vibration motors would register the command and “fake” a click feeling under your finger macrumors.com appleinsider.com.
