The U.S. agreed to cut tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China committed to reduce tariffs on U.S. products from 125% to 10%. The previous set of sky-high tariffs had threatened a surge in prices and a possible U.S. recession, experts told ABC News.

Investors reacted positively to the news, with major indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posting strong gains.
