Trump Raises China Tariffs to 125%, Puts New Levies on Hold: Impact on Tech and Markets

President Trump hikes China tariffs to 125%, pauses others for 90 days, providing a reprieve to Apple's stock.

Trade War Escalates: Trump Hikes China Tariffs to 125%, Pauses Others for 90 Days

President Donald Trump has authorized a significant increase in tariffs on imports from China, raising them to 125%. Simultaneously, he announced a 90-day pause on new tariffs against several countries and a reduction of the reciprocal tariff to 10% during this period. The move comes in response to what Trump describes as a 'lack of respect' from China, despite ongoing negotiations.

The stock market reacted positively to the news, with Nasdaq jumping 7% and the Dow surging by 2,000 points. Apple's shares, which had been under pressure due to the trade tensions, saw a significant boost, rising 11.28%. This pause on new tariffs provides some relief to markets and companies like Apple, which have been impacted by escalating trade tensions.

The story is still developing, and updates are expected as more information becomes available.
