Mike Baker: 作为主持人，我首先介绍了美中两国在贸易谈判中取得突破，同意暂停90天的关税，大幅降低关税，这标志着经济对峙的重大缓和，全球投资者对此表示欢迎。两国代表在日内瓦举行了马拉松式的贸易谈判，双方同意在90天内将彼此的关税降低115个百分点，并继续就长期贸易协议进行讨论。美国将降低对中国商品的关税，中国也将降低对美国商品的关税，并取消非关税对策。特朗普总统表示，中国已同意向美国企业开放，这也许是谈判中最重要的成果。贝森表示，中国讨论了购买美国关键商品的潜在协议，如果这些协议能够实现，将大大缩小美国与中国近3000亿美元的贸易逆差。投资者对与中国达成贸易突破的消息感到欢欣鼓舞，所有主要的美国股票指数在宣布后都上涨。当然，不确定性依然存在，很大程度上取决于未来几周在达成持久贸易协议方面取得的实际进展。
