With the excitement of a trade deal dissipating into the anticlimax of a non-exceptional “Part 1,” markets are limping back to normal.In this environment, it’s clear that there will be some reduction in the $400 billion+ trade deficit in 2017 before the trade war began, when China bought $130 billion in U.S. goods and $56 billion in services. China is now promising $200 billion in U.S. goods and services purchases, mainly agricultural (set to increase from $24 billion to $40 billion annually on average) and energy.China also promised to stay away from currency manipulation and improve intellectual property protection.The most significant for retail was, however, the U.S. government’s cancellation of tariffs on nearly $160 billion worth of Chinese goods, including cell phones, laptop computers, toys and clothing and the Chinese government’s cancellation of its retaliatory tariffs that would have included a 25% tariff on America-made automobiles. The U.S. also agreed to lower tariffs on $120 billion of Chinese goods from 15% to 7.5%. This should help retailer sales and push share prices.
