“Perhaps it is highly sceptical that either the US or China is willing to back-down on the key issues related to China’s policy objective of boosting its high tech industries, and the US objective of preventing technology transfers to China.”

“However, the reports suggest that there is a possibility of a cooling in trade tensions. For instance, there is a risk that the US decides to delay the implementation of its first round of tariffs slated for 6 July to enable last-minute negotiations to proceed.”

“This could see a partial rebound in Asia EM assets and risk appetite more broadly. However, since the news reports, US equities and EM equity ETFs remained near their lows for the US session”

“Any cooling in trade tensions, for example, might lead to a rebound in the AUD, that has matched the fall in Asia EM assets in recent weeks.”
