Global equity fund inflows at six-week high on soft US inflation, tariff truce (Reuters) -Global equity funds logged their largest weekly inflows in six weeks in the week to August 13, lifted by a softer-than-expected U.S. inflation print and an extension of a tariff truce between the United States and China which boosted investor sentiment. Technology stocks drew strong interest, including Apple Inc which pledged new U.S. investments to avoid potential tariffs on iPhones. Investors snapped up a net $19.32 billion worth of global equity funds during the week, reversing their net sale of $7.63 billion for the prior week, data from LSEG Lipper showed. U.S. equity funds led regional inflows of net $8.77 billion, partly refilling the outflow of $13.89 billion the prior week. European and Asian funds, meanwhile, drew in net $7.08 billion and $2.07 billion in weekly investments, respectively. Technology-focused funds witnessed the strongest weekly demand since February 2021, attracting $4.08 billion in net inflows. Conversely, healthcare and communication services sector funds faced net outflows of $835 million and $646 million, respectively. Global bond funds remained popular for the 17th-straight week, with a net $15.87 billion in investments during the week. Short-term bond funds attracted $4.42 billion, their second largest weekly inflow in 16 weeks. Euro-denominated bond funds and corporate bond funds also saw a notable $3.3 billion and $1.37 billion worth of weekly inflows. Gold and precious metals commodity funds experienced strong demand, drawing in $2.63 billion, the largest weekly inflows in nearly two months. Energy segment funds also witnessed a net $120 million worth of purchases. Investors in emerging markets divested a net $1.08 billion worth of equity funds in a second successive weekly sell-off, but amassed a net $1.64 billion worth of bond funds, data for 29,724 funds showed.

European stocks rise after U.S./China tariff truce; U.S. CPI in focus Investing.com - European stocks rose Tuesday, buoyed by the news of a U.S.-China tariff truce extension, as investors awaited the release of key U.S. inflation data. At 03:10 ET (07:10 GMT), the DAX index in Germany climbed 0.3%, the CAC 40 in France gained 0.5% and the FTSE 100 in the U.K. rose 0.4%. U.S.-China tariff truce boosts sentiment Global investors remained focused on the Trump administration’s tariffs, and sentiment received a boost after the U.S. and China extended their tariff truce late on Monday for another 90 days, averting sharp duties that could have disrupted trade. The move will see the world’s biggest economies keep relatively lower tariffs in place against each other until November 10, and will also keep in place a recent reopening in U.S. chip exports and Chinese rare earths. U.S. tariffs on China will remain between 30% and 50%, while Chinese tariffs on U.S. goods will be around 10% to 20%. The two had agreed in May to slash their tariff levels from over 100%. U.S. CPI looms large European investors will study the release of the Germany ZEW economic sentiment for August later in the session for clues about the health of the eurozone’s largest economy. Earlier in the session, data showed that the U.K. unemployment rate stayed at 4.7% in the three months to June, the highest level since July 2021, while pay growth across the whole economy, excluding bonuses, remained at an annual 5.0% rate. The day’s key economic release, however, will be the U.S. consumer inflation report for July, as investors attempt to better understand the impact of Trump’s tariffs and how that influences the Federal Reserve’s rate cut path. The annual CPI figure is forecast to rise to 2.8% from 2.7% in June, remaining stubbornly above the Fed’s stated 2% target. Hannover Re impresses with Q2 results Quarterly corporate earnings are starting to peter out as August continues, but there are still some results to digest. Hannover Re (OTC:HVRRY) posted a 38% jump in second-quarter net income from a year earlier, driven by improved underwriting performance in property and casualty reinsurance and a stronger reinsurance service result. Homebuilder Bellway (LON:BWY) swung to a net cash position of £42 million at the end of fiscal 2025 from net debt of £10.5 million a year earlier, as housing completions and revenue came in ahead of guidance. Gaming company Entain (LON:ENT) lifted its full-year profit guidance after posting a healthy gain in first-half profit, driven by strong online growth and a 35% revenue surge at U.S. joint venture BetMGM. Crude gains on U.S.-China tariffs pause Oil prices edged higher Tuesday as the extension of the pause on higher tariffs between the United States and China eased concerns of a hit to global economic growth in the world’s two largest oil consumers. At 03:10 ET, Brent futures climbed 0.3% to $66.81 a barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 0.4% to $64.20 a barrel. Potentially weighing on the oil market, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are due to meet in Alaska on Friday to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine.

Asia stocks mostly higher as tariff truce supports sentiment By Jaspreet Kalra SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Most Asian stocks rose on Tuesday, buoyed by an extension of a tariff truce between the world’s two largest economies, while Japanese shares hit an all-time peak, powered by tech shares after returning from a long weekend break. U.S. President Donald Trump extended a tariff truce with China by another 90 days on Monday, staving off triple-digit duties on Chinese goods, a move that was largely expected by investors and markets. Investor sentiment in recent weeks has been supported by expectations of rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, resilient U.S. corporate earnings as well as clarity on U.S. trade levies on trading partners. Japan’s Nikkei climbed to a record high and was last up 2% as the country’s markets reopened after a public holiday on Monday, tracking other global indices this year. Australia’s benchmark index also hit a record high, ahead of a monetary policy meeting at which the central bank is widely expected to cut interest rates. [.T][.AX] That left MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan a tad higher. China’s blue-chip stocks were flat while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index eased 0.1% in early trading. Markets have held modest ranges in recent weeks, waiting to see whether the world’s two largest economies can agree on a durable trade deal or if global supply chains will again be upended by the return of steep import levies. The U.S.-China tariff truce extension "preserves the status quo for now, so no immediate implications for investment markets," said Shane Oliver, chief economist and head of investment strategy at AMP (OTC:AMLTF) in Sydney. The U.S. and China have engaged in a tit-for-tat tariff duel throughout the year, culminating in trade talks in Geneva, London and Stockholm since May that focused on bringing retaliatory tariffs down from triple-digit levels. The latest truce extension clears the way for investors to focus on an action-packed week dominated by U.S. inflation data, a central bank policy decision in Australia and the first summit between U.S. and Russian leaders since June 2021. Traders are pricing in a 25 basis points rate cut later on Tuesday from the RBA with another cut expected by November. Investor attention will be on comments and forecasts from the central bank. "The uncertainties are around its guidance, in particular whether it still sees further scope to cut rates and whether it will remain gradual and measured," said AMP’s Oliver. Globally, the spotlight will be on the release of U.S. consumer price inflation data later on Tuesday. Economists polled by Reuters have forecast that month-on-month core CPI edged up 0.3% in July, faster than the 0.2% in the previous month. "CPI will be a key test for market tone. Softer data could give small-caps a lift, but for now, mega-caps remain firmly in control," said Marc Velan, head of investments at Lucerne Investment Management. An upside surprise on inflation may also add caution to market expectations of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year. Investors are currently pricing in at least two rate cuts from the Fed in 2025 while J.P. Morgan expects the Fed to deliver four successive rate cuts starting in September. In commodities, gold prices were last at $3,354, having dropped nearly 1.6% on Monday after Trump said tariffs will not be placed on imported gold bars. [GOL/] Oil prices were steady ahead of the August 15 meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, aimed at negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine. The talks follow increased U.S. pressure on Russia, raising the prospect of penalties on Moscow if a peace deal is not reached. [O/R] "The market is not pricing in significant outcomes from the meeting, but any shift in geopolitical tone could have marginal impact, particularly for commodities and certain emerging market assets," said Lucerne’s Velan. Currencies were mostly calm in early trading, with the dollar steady against major peers the euro and the yen. Cryptocurrencies bitcoin and ether were a tad lower after rallying in the previous session. Don't miss out on the next big opportunity!

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump’s final call on China tariffs is days away.

Talks in Stockholm?

"Constructive," say both sides. But nothing's agreed until he decides.

US, China to launch new talks on tariff truce extension, easing path for Trump-Xi meeting By David Lawder STOCKHOLM (Reuters) -Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials will resume talks in Stockholm on Monday to try to tackle longstanding economic disputes at the centre of a trade war between the world’s top two economies, aiming to extend a truce by three months and keeping sharply higher tariffs at bay. China is facing an August 12 deadline to reach a durable tariff agreement with President Donald Trump’s administration, after Beijing and Washington reached preliminary deals in May and June to end weeks of escalating tit-for-tat tariffs and a cut-off of rare earth minerals. Without an agreement, global supply chains could face renewed turmoil from U.S. duties snapping back to triple-digit levels that would amount to a bilateral trade embargo. The Stockholm talks come hot on the heels of Trump’s biggest trade deal yet with the European Union on Sunday for a 15% tariff on most EU goods exports to the U.S., including autos. The bloc will also buy $750 billion worth of American energy and make $600 billion worth of U.S. investments in coming years. No similar breakthrough is expected in the U.S.-China talks but trade analysts said that another 90-day extension of a tariff and export control truce struck in mid-May was likely. An extension of that length would prevent further escalation and facilitate planning for a potential meeting between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in late October or early November. A U.S. Treasury spokesperson declined comment on a South China Morning Post report quoting unnamed sources as saying the two sides would refrain from introducing new tariffs or other steps that could escalate the trade war for another 90 days. Trump’s administration is poised to impose new sectoral tariffs that will impact China within weeks, including on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, ship-to-shore cranes and other products. "We’re very close to a deal with China. We really sort of made a deal with China, but we’ll see how that goes," Trump told reporters on Sunday before European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen struck their tariff deal. DEEPER ISSUES Previous U.S.-China trade talks in Geneva and London in May and June focused on bringing U.S. and Chinese retaliatory tariffs down from triple-digit levels and restoring the flow of rare earth minerals halted by China and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)’s H20 AI chips and other goods halted by the United States. So far, the talks have not delved into broader economic issues. They include U.S. complaints that China’s state-led, export-driven model is flooding world markets with cheap goods, and Beijing’s complaints that U.S. national security export controls on tech goods seek to stunt Chinese growth. "Geneva and London were really just about trying to get the relationship back on track so that they could, at some point, actually negotiate about the issues which animate the disagreement between the countries in the first place," said Scott Kennedy, a China economics expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "I’d be surprised if there is an early harvest on some of these things but an extension of the ceasefire for another 90 days seems to be the most likely outcome," Kennedy said. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has already flagged a deadline extension and has said he wants China to rebalance its economy away from exports to more domestic consumption -- a decades-long goal for U.S. policymakers. Analysts say the U.S.-China negotiations are far more complex than those with other Asian countries and will require more time. China’s grip on the global market for rare earth minerals and magnets, used in everything from military hardware to car windshield wiper motors, has proved to be an effective leverage point on U.S. industries. TRUMP-XI MEETING? In the background of the talks is speculation about a possible meeting between Trump and Xi in late October. Trump has said he will decide soon on a landmark trip to China, and a new flare-up of tariffs and export controls would likely derail planning. Sun Chenghao, a fellow at Tsinghua University’s Center for International Security and Strategy in Beijing, said that a Trump-Xi summit would be an opportunity for the U.S. to lower the 20% tariffs on Chinese goods related to fentanyl. In exchange, he said the Chinese side could make good on its 2020 pledge to increase purchases of U.S. farm products and other goods. "The future prospect of the heads of state summit is very beneficial to the negotiations because everyone wants to reach an agreement or pave the way in advance," Sun said. Still, China will likely request a reduction of multi-layered U.S. tariffs totaling 55% on most goods and further easing of U.S. high-tech export controls, analysts said. Beijing has argued that such purchases would help reduce the U.S. trade deficit with China, which reached $295.5 billion in 2024.

US and China to extend tariff pause by another 90 days - report China and the US are expected to extend their tariff truce by another three months at trade talks that begin on Monday in Stockholm, according to the South China Morning Post, citing people familiar. The suspension was set to expire on August 12.During the third round of trade negotiations between the world’s two biggest economies, both will expound their views on major sticking points – such as the US’ concerns over China’s industrial overcapacity – rather than achieve specific breakthroughs, the sources said. In the upcoming meeting the Chinese delegation will also press Trump’s trade team on fentanyl-related tariffs, the report says, including clarity on thresholds the US side is trying to achieve.
