Anthony Chan, chief economist for Chase, analyzes what he's seen from the markets so far in 2018. He says the markets have mostly recovered after a period of volatility in January. Chan isn't too concerned about countries buying U.S. debt. Rumors suggested China would stop buying U.S. Treasury Securities but Chan notes that hasn't happened yet. Chan also isn't worried about a market correction following the volatility we saw in January. Chan says the VIX usually peaks after a market correction has occurred.

US businesses that rely on Chinese imports express relief and anxiety
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season. They’re concerned a mad scramble to get goods onto ships will lead to bottlenecks and increased shipping costs.
