US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is speaking at the scheduled briefing on the first round of high-level US-China trade talks held over the weekend in Geneva, Switzerland. Key quotes We have reached an agreement on a 90-day pause and substantially moved down tariff levels. Both sides on reciprocal tariffs will move down 115%. Very good personal interaction, both sides represented national interests well. Neither side wants a decoupling. Neither side wants the equivalent of a trade embargo. We would like to see China more open to US goods. We think there is a possibility of purchase agreements to bring bilateral trade deficit into balance. We look forward to very good discussions now that we have the Geneva mechanism for talks. There was no discussion on currency. Market reaction The US Dollar Index is extending gains on these comments, up 0.84% on the day to regain 101.00 as of writing. US Dollar PRICE Today The table below shows the percentage change of US Dollar (USD) against listed major currencies today. US Dollar was the strongest against the Euro. The heat map shows percentage changes of major currencies against each other. The base currency is picked from the left column, while the quote currency is picked from the top row. For example, if you pick the US Dollar from the left column and move along the horizontal line to the Japanese Yen, the percentage change displayed in the box will represent USD (base)/JPY (quote).
