The US accused China of engaging in unfair trade practices in the semiconductor sector, but is declining to impose additional tariffs on chip imports until at least mid-2027. The Office of the US Trade Representative on Tuesday released the findings of a nearly yearlong inquiry into China's chip sector that was launched in the final weeks of the former President Joe Biden's administration, with the expectation the matter would be resolved under President Donald Trump. In the intervening months, Trump struck a truce with Chinese President Xi Jinping to end a trade war that rattled global markets. For more on the relationship in regards to US-China in the technology space, we spoke to Tiffany Hsiao, Portfolio Manager at Matthews International Capital Management.

Plus - the US economy expanded in the third quarter at the fastest pace in two years, bolstered by resilient consumer and business spending and calmer trade policies. Inflation-adjusted gross domestic product, which measures the value of goods and services produced in the US, increased at a 4.3% annualized pace, a Bureau of Economic Analysis report showed Tuesday. That was higher than all but one forecast in a Bloomberg survey and followed 3.8% growth in the prior period. We heard from Chris Kampitsis, Managing Partner, Barnum Financial Group.

Japan has a “free hand” to take bold action against currency moves that are not in line with fundamentals, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said, in her strongest warning yet to speculators following the yen’s weakening even after a rise in interest rates. “The moves were clearly not in line with fundamentals but rather speculative,” Katayama said in an interview with Bloomberg on Monday, referring to a sharp weakening of the yen on Friday. “Against such movements, we have made clear that we will take bold action, as stated in the Japan–US finance ministers’ joint statement,” she said. We heard from Keio University Professor Sayuri Shirai. She spoke to Bloomberg’s Annabelle Droulers and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.
