US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng have commenced high-level trade negotiations in Paris. These critical meetings serve as a precursor to President Donald Trump’s scheduled visit to Beijing from March 31 to April 2. The discussions aim to review the existing trade truce and resolve complex economic concerns regarding investment and geopolitical stability. Notably, the talks occur following a US Supreme Court ruling that restricted the president's authority to impose tariffs under the IEEPA framework. Market analysts view this diplomatic engagement as a positive step toward reducing global trade uncertainty and easing risk premiums. Consequently, trade-sensitive assets and Chinese equities are expected to see increased investor interest as bilateral tensions potentially stabilize ahead of the summit.
