U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the United States expected China to meet its commitments under the Phase 1 trade deal signed under former President Donald Trump, but could look at eventually lowering some tariffs in a reciprocal way.
Yellen told in an interview that tariffs tend to boost domestic prices and raise costs to consumers and to firms from inputs such as aluminum and steel, which meant lowering tariffs would have a “disinflationary” effect.
The Treasury secretary and other officials insist that the current spike in prices in the United States is a result of supply chain bottlenecks and higher energy prices, but say inflation should ease in the second half of 2022.
China’s gold consumption in the first nine months of 2021 rose 48.4% on the year to 813.59 tonnes, the China Gold Association said, as demand recovered from a pandemic-affected 2020.
