China Finance Ministry statement also mentions, per Reuters, that the need to avoid trade war and "decoupling" while stating the importance of economic and trade relations.
Comments from China's Finance Ministry become more important considering US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s presence in Beijing to address “unfair practices” termed by the Biden administration per Reuters.
It’s worth noting that the recent tit-for-tat trade war between the US and China contributes to the market’s risk-off mood and underpins the US Dollar’s safe-haven demand.
However, cautious sentiment ahead of the all-important US employment report for June limits the markets’ reaction to the news.
