Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Global markets reflected hope for averting a trade war after US President Donald Trump reversed course on his tariff policy.<\/p>\n

Washington is holding many tariff talks with various countries, boosting investors’ hopes of avoiding a trade war.<\/p>\n

Trump said on Friday that Washington is “very close” to reaching a deal with Japan as part of ongoing negotiations over US tariffs, The Wall Street Journal reported.<\/p>\n

Trump’s remarks came as Japan’s economy minister and lead negotiator in the tariff talks, Ryosei Akazawa, prepares for a three-day visit to the US beginning Wednesday for a second round of talks with Washington.<\/p>\n

Last week, during his visit to the White House as Trump’s first foreign trade negotiator, Akazawa urged the US to reconsider tariffs on a range of Japanese exports, particularly those from the country’s major automobile industry.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said trade talks with South Korea “may be moving faster” than expected.<\/p>\n

“We had a very successful bilateral meeting with the Republic of South Korea today. We may be moving faster than I thought, and we will be talking technical terms as early as next week as we reach an agreement on understanding as soon as next week.<\/p>\n

“So South Koreans came early. They came with their A game, and we will see if they follow through on that,” Bessent told reporters at the White House.<\/p>\n

South Korean Finance Minister Choi Sang-mok departed Tuesday for the US to attend the first round of trade negotiations with US officials.<\/p>\n

Following these developments, the VIX, the “fear index,” a widely watched measure of market volatility, fell to 29.70 points as of 0740GMT, from its record high of 52.33 points, which was hit on April 8.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the US stocks closed higher on the hopes of averting a trade war, mainly driven by the “Magnificent Seven” big techs.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, gold, a traditional safe-haven asset, fell 0.9% to $3,289.10 on Monday after hitting a record high of $3,500.33 last week.<\/p>\n
