“China hit back at the U.S. early Monday, disputing President Donald Trump’s accusation that it’s failing to uphold its side of the bargain of the trade agreement reached last month…. The back-and-forth barbs are a bad sign for investors who were hoping that the trade war over tariffs was starting to de-escalate.”

“Benchmark crude oil futures fell Monday in their largest one-day decline in more than two years after Israel’s weekend strikes on Iran avoided energy facilities and ease worries of a wider war that could disrupt global supplies… Analysts said the lack of strikes on oil or nuclear facilities leaves the door open for both sides to de-escalate the conflict.”

Washington Post (July 30)
“Trump has repeatedly said he would protect American farmers in the trade war, last week setting aside $12 billion to help them, but he is facing pressure to extend aid to other industries…. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Monday estimated the total price tag could hit $39 billion if Trump compensated the losses across all industries.” But most “critics of Trump’s trade policy are calling on him to de-escalate the trade war rather than try to bail out the businesses hurt by it.”
