Trade Sentiment Shifts Towards Optimism

The markets are heaving a collective sigh of relief following constructive developments between the United States and its major trading partners.

A softer stance emerging from Washington suggests an easing of concerns about potential trade barrier escalations. Behind-the-scenes negotiations with key allies indicate a preference for de-escalation over further protectionism.
