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.

In exchange, Trump said U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports will be cut to 47% of their original levels reuters.com.

Dow Dips as Fed Fears Slam Tech Stocks – Hot Economic Data Rattles Wall Street (Sept 25, 2025)

Powell’s Hawkish U-Turn and Trump–Xi ‘Mini-Deal’ Leave S&P 500 Futures on Edge

S&P 500 futures hovered near their recent highs on Thursday as Wall Street digested a tug-of-war between dovish Fed policy and new uncertainties. Early Oct 30 trading showed futures almost unchanged, mirroring Wednesday’s close around 6,890.59reuters.com. Markets had rallied into Wednesday, with the Nasdaq hitting a fresh peak and the S&P near its own record, on hopes the Fed would continue cutting rates and on positive tech news. But Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference after the Oct 29 meeting cooled those hopes. At the Federal Open Market Committee meeting Oct 29, the Fed delivered a widely expected 25-basis-point rate cutreuters.com and signaled an end to quantitative tightening. Stocks initially jumped on the move, but Powell’s emphasis that any December cut “is not a foregone conclusion” sliced into the rally. Traders slashed their odds of a Dec cut from roughly 90% to about 70% in a matter of hoursreuters.com. U.S. futures, which had been comfortably above fair value earlier, turned flat to slightly lower. In real-time, the S&P 500 index gave back its modest intraday gain after Powell spoke, closing essentially unchanged on Wednesdayreuters.com.

183 Million Email Passwords Leaked – Gmail Users Urged to Check If They’re Affected
