Trade Deal Sparks Hope - DAX Tops New Record
Escalating trade conflict propels prices upward - DAX achieves new peak height - Escalating trade tension causing price surge - DAX approaching historic peak
US President Donald Trump's unexpected trade deal announcement with the UK has sent shockwaves through the financial world, sending global markets soaring. Kelvin Wong, an analyst at Oanda's trading platform, believes this deal has sparked renewed optimism in the market.
On Thursday, Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer declared a "monumental trade agreement," giving investors a reason to celebrate. Although Trump expressed intentions to negotiate with the EU and China, details regarding these potential deals remain scant.
In Asia, Tokyo and Seoul's stock markets experienced a surge, while China's reaction was subdued. The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong ticked up slightly, but indices in Shanghai and Shenzhen fell marginally.
However, Ipek Ozkardeskaya of Swissquote Bank advises caution. She warns that Trump's exuberant proclamation may have overhyped the deal, and investors should approach this news with skepticism. Only time will tell if these talks will lead to a significant agreement or fracture under pressure. If US-China negotiations this weekend in Geneva prove successful, stocks could skyrocket on Monday. But if the talks fail, we may face another turbulent week, with stocks plummeting and the dollar weakening.

Context:
- US-China trade talks are ongoing, with ongoing negotiations aimed at reducing high tariffs imposed by both nations. Despite these talks, experts believe significant results are unlikely in the near future.
- The US-UK trade deal has broader implications for global trade, potentially increasing pressure on China to negotiate more aggressively, but it doesn't impact the current US-China tariff negotiations directly.
- The impact on stock markets this weekend could be minimal, as the Geneva talks are seen as a confidence-building exercise rather than a conclusive agreement. Markets may react positively to any signs of de-escalation, but major changes are unlikely to occur immediately.
- The unexpected trade deal announcement between the USA and the UK has sent global stock markets soaring, with the DAX topping a new record.
- Similarly, stock markets in Tokyo and Seoul experienced a surge following the trade deal announcement, while China's reaction was subdued.
- If US-China negotiations this weekend in Geneva prove successful, stocks could skyrocket on Monday, but if the talks fail, we may face another turbulent week with stocks plummeting and the dollar weakening.
