China-US Tariff War: President Donald Trump has declared a 90-day pause on all new "reciprocal" tariffs, excluding China, which now faces a 125% levy. The decision triggered a massive rally on Wall Street, with the S&P 500 seeing its best day since 2008. Trump emphasized the need to avoid hurting friendly nations. However, economists remain cautious—Goldman Sachs warns of a 45% chance of a U.S. recession. Despite market optimism, analysts suggest the pause may not fully counteract the economic turbulence sparked by the ongoing global trade war.
