• The USD/ZAR firmed on Tuesday as market sentiment stayed positive on tariff deal between the United States and China.
• The U.S. announced it will reduce tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China will lower duties on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%.
• This provided some relief to markets, although concerns about the potential global economic impact of tariffs persist.
• Evolving trade policies remain a key economic risk, potentially fueling inflation and limiting growth in the U.S., even with reduced tariff levels.
