US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called on China to calm trade tensions, and said the responsibility falls on China for reaching a trade deal.

Bessent said in a CNBC interview that China should move to calm the trade tensions as they sell to the US five times what the US sells to them.

He once again said the reciprocal tariffs between Washington and Beijing are not sustainable, pointing to the progress on trade negotiations between the Trump administration and many other countries, including India.

This week, many major tech corporations, such as Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, will release the quarterly results, while investors also await the pivotal US payrolls report on Friday.
