Global News
* Trump Extends US-China Tariff Truce Until November, Easing Trade Tensions: President Donald Trump has extended the US-China tariff truce for another 90 days until November 10, deferring a planned tariff hike and stabilizing trade ties. The pause, first agreed in May, saw US duties cut to 30% and China’s to 10%, alongside resumed rare earth exports. Both sides confirmed the extension, reached last month in Sweden, averting a jump in US tariffs to 54% and easing fears of a renewed trade war. The move buys time to address unresolved issues, including fentanyl-linked duties, Chinese oil imports from sanctioned nations, and US business operations in China. The extension also sets the stage for a potential Trump-Xi meeting in late October.

Global Debt Market:
U.S. Treasury yields inched higher early Tuesday as investors look toward key inflation data for July and assess the extension of U.S.-China trade truce. The 10-year Treasury yield rose 1 basis point to 4.285%, and the 2-year Treasury yield was 2 basis points higher at 3.772%. The 30-year Treasury bond yield was more than 1 basis point higher at 4.856%. The core consumer price index, which is set to be released Tuesday morning, is expected to climb 2.8% on a yearly basis and 0.2% on a monthly basis, according to analysts polled by Dow Jones. So-called core CPI, which strips out food and energy prices, is expected to have risen 0.3% month over month and 3% year on year. “We think the market reaction to the CPI is probably skewed in favor of Fed rate cuts,” said Eastspring Investments. A lower-than-expected CPI should increase market pricing for cuts in September and year-end as it reduces the “ostensible need” for Fed caution about inflation, the investment firm’s experts said in a note. “Our concern is that July, and even August data, will be too early to be conclusive about the tariff impact,” they warned. The U.S. and China have agreed to extend their tariff truce by another 90 days, with significant disagreements still blocking a final agreement. Both sides aim to hold a leaders’ summit later this year to resolve the deadlock.
10 Year Benchmark Technical View :
The 10 year Benchmark (6.33% GS 2035) yield likely to move in the range of 6.48% to 6.50% level on Wednesday.
