Both the U.S. and China have announced a temporary pause in tariffs for the next 90 days, and the deal is moving markets.
The announcement comes after a weekend of meetings in Switzerland, the Treasury Secretary, and the U.S. Trade Representative. China will reduce its tariffs from 125 percent to 10 percent. In return, the U.S. will lower tariffs on most Chinese goods from 145 percent to 30 percent.
The DOW, S&P, and NASDAQ futures are all up significantly this morning.
