    GENEVA – On Monday, U.S. and Chinese officials announced they had agreed to reduce most of their recent tariffs and implement a 90-day pause to continue discussions aimed at resolving their trade conflicts.

    Stock markets rose sharply as the globe’s two major economic powers took a step back from a clash that has unsettled the global economy.

    U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. agreed to drop its 145% tariff rate on Chinese goods by 115 percentage points to 30%, while China agreed to lower its rate on U.S. goods by the same amount to 10%.

    Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the tariff reductions at a news conference in Geneva.

    They said the two sides had set up consultations to continue discussing their trade issues.

    Trump last month raised U.S. tariffs on China to a combined 145% and China retaliated by hitting American imports with a 125% levy. Tariffs that high essentially amount to the two countries boycotting each other’s products, disrupting trade that last year topped $660 billion.

    The announcement by the U.S. and China sent shares surging, with U.S. futures jumping more than 2%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index surged nearly 3% and benchmarks in Germany and France were both up 0.7%
