China says to cut tariffs on US farm goods, but soybeans excluded
Market context: FXI: China's tariff cuts on US farm goods signal easing trade tensions, directly benefiting China-exposed equities. Reduced trade frictions between the world's two largest economies should support Chinese stocks and broader risk sentiment. KWEB: Improved US-China trade relations reduce regulatory and geopolitical overhang on Chinese tech and consumer companies. Easing trade tensions remove a key risk factor that has weighed on Chinese internet and tech stocks. ZS: Soybeans are explicitly excluded from China's tariff cuts, meaning this major US agricultural export remains penalized. Exclusion from tariff relief keeps Chinese demand for US soybeans suppressed, weighing on soybean prices.
