The most obvious winners from the summit’s aftermath will be U.S. technology companies with direct or indirect exposure to embattled Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies Co. In remarks following the meeting, Mr. Trump said that U.S. companies would be able to sell equipment to Huawei that has “not a great national-emergency problem with it.” Though the U.S. and other western nations may forgo buying allegedly compromised Huawei equipment, software and chip companies may keep supplying it.
Stocks overall are likely to rise on the benign outcome of the talks. The question, though, is whether the gains will last, even for the sectors most likely to benefit. U.S. equity markets just closed out their best June in over 60 years and their best first half in over 20 largely on expectations that the Federal Reserve is set to come to the rescue with rate cuts. June began with a surprisingly weak U.S. payrolls number that, coupled with trade concerns and a slew of tepid U.S.
Even chip stocks and agricultural commodities could give back gains. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is up by nearly 28% this year despite the Huawei tensions amid mixed news such as weakness in data-center demand. In the longer run, U.S. threats to cripple telecommunication equipment companies ZTE and Huawei have given China a strong incentive to become self-sufficient in key technologies, which could ultimately hurt the business prospects of U.S. tech companies.
Trump is damaging the USA and its citizens every day. He's like a hairdryer - only blowing hot air. 0 respect for this 'stable genius'.
What the hell does “heard on the street” mean? Great source.
Has Trump successfully negotiated anything yet? This dude is inept.
But, Trump is a stable genius who’s never wrong.
