With their agreement to reduce tariffs for ninety days, the U.S. and China have significantly deescalated their trade conflict. As a preview of future negotiations with Chinese President Xi Jinping, President Donald Trump praised the agreement as a "total reset." The deal lowers Chinese import duties from 125% to 10% while lowering U.S. duties from 145% to 30%. Global stock markets soared as a result of the move, with the S&P 500 jumping 3.3%.

Driven by the resurgence of the oil sector and robust tech and finance sectors, Nigerias GDP grew 4.6% year over year in Q4 2024, marking its best growth in a decade. In 2025, the World Bank forecasts 3.6% GDP growth, but cautions that high inflation is still a problem. Reforms implemented by President Bola Tinubu, such as the elimination of fuel subsidies, depreciation of the naira, and power outages, have restored budgetary stability but raised pressures on the expense of living. Over $37 billion in foreign reserves protect Nigeria from outside fluctuations. Helped by increased tax collections and remittances, the budget deficit decreased from 5.4% of GDP in 2023 to 3% of GDP in 2024. Read More..

India has informed the World Trade Organisation WTO of its intention to impose retaliatory tariffs on a set of U.S. imports in response to Washingtons steel and aluminium charges.

India has proposed to cut tariff disparities by twothirds as part of a bilateral trade agreement being negotiated between the two countries. India disputes the U.S.s assertions that its tariffs are motivated by national security concerns. As the WTO considers Indias appeal, trade relations between the two economies may worsen.
