Stocks and dollar rebound in Asia as Trump changes his tune

The dollar jumped across the board after Trump changed his tune on dismissing Fed chairperson Jerome Powell, which had badly shaken investor confidence in US assets.

Trump also reiterated he wanted to do a deal with China so that tariffs would not be anywhere near 145%, but added that he would set the terms of a deal if Beijing did not enter into talks.

On Tuesday, 22 April, Treasury secretary Scott Bessent was reported saying he believed there would be a de-escalation in US-China trade tensions, but negotiations with Beijing had not yet started and would be a “slog”.
