President Donald Trump on Friday said that he could move up the November 1 deadline to hike tariffs on China if he wanted, while addressing reporters at the White House following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.“I think we’re in a very strong position. We’re getting, as you know, as of November 1.. we could move it up if I wanted.. 100% tariff over and above what we get now. So that would make it about 157%,” Trump&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz8nYP6mE10">said</a> while answering a question after the meeting.He added that China does not want the U.S. to hike tariffs by 100%, and that it “wants to talk.”“I think we’ll make a deal that would be good for both. I think we will do something, but you have to understand, we never got anything from China. It was a one-way street for many years… for decades it was a one-way street, and they became rich because of the United States,” the President said, adding that all that his administration wants is for the U.S. to be treated fairly. He stated that this would entail “hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars coming into the United States,” adding that tariffs have maintained the U.S.’s national security.Earlier on Friday,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-china-tariffs-not-sustainable/ch6sBXPR38Q">President Trump said</a> that the tariff hikes on China are “not sustainable,” while stating that the latter forced him to levy those tariffs.

It’s got to be fair,”&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-china-tariffs-not-sustainable/ch6sBXPR38Q">he said</a> in a Fox Business interview, adding that he gets along well with Chinese President Xi Jinping.Meanwhile, U.S. equities gained in Friday afternoon’s trade.

Marc Pinto, head of global private credit at Moody’s, reportedly dismissed concerns about credit quality in the U.S. banking system on Friday, stating it is in good shape.During an&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/17/moodys-says-the-banking-system-private-credit-markets-are-sound-despite-worries-over-bad-loans.html">interview</a> with CNBC, Pinto stated that there is little evidence of deterioration in the asset quality in the banking system as a whole. “When we dig deeper here and look to see if there’s a turn in the credit cycle, which is effectively what the market seems to be focusing on, we can find no evidence,” Pinto said.Pinto’s comments come after a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/jefferies-zions-western-alliance-stocks-hit-by-credit-risk-concerns/ch6pOMSR3Fd">selloff</a> in shares of Jefferies Financial Group Inc. (JEF), Western Alliance Bancorp (WAL), and Zions Bancorp NA (ZION) on Thursday. Jefferies had&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/jefferies-projects-limited-losses-from-first-brands-exposure/ch6S4LJR3jZ">reported</a> earlier this week that it has “limited” exposure to First Brands, an auto parts supplier that declared bankruptcy in September.“In August, the bank initiated a lawsuit alleging fraud by the borrower in failing to provide collateral loans in first position, among other claims,” Western Alliance said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). At the same time, Zions Bancorp stated that it would take a $50 million charge-off tied to commercial and industrial loans.Earlier this week, JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/jamie-dimon-early-signs-of-excess-corporate-lending-us-auto-bankruptcies/ch6mrJkR3mF">spoke</a> about the losses the lender experienced in connection with Tricolor Holdings, while adding that there are “early signs” of excess in corporate lending in the U.S. “When you see one cockroach, there are probably more,” he stated during an analyst call.However, Pinto dismissed concerns of a wider systemic issue. Reacting to Dimon’s “cockroach” comment, he said, “One cockroach does not a trend make,” according to the report.“Now that’s what we’re seeing today. That could always change. But if we look at the asset quality numbers that we’ve seen over the last several quarters, we’re seeing very little deterioration at all,” Pinto added.Meanwhile, U.S. equities were mixed in Friday’s opening trade. At the time of writing, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF</a> (SPY), which tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, was down 0.05%, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust ETF</a> (QQQ) fell 0.2%, while the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust</a> (DIA) rose 0.24%.

Scott Bessent To Speak With Chinese Vice Premier Later Today Amid Ongoing Trade Tensions: Report 

According to CNBC, the timing of the call and specific agenda items were not disclosed. 

President Donald Trump on Friday reportedly said that China “forced” him to levy tariffs on the latter, amid ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and its Chinese counterparts.According to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-17/trump-says-threatened-high-tariffs-on-china-not-sustainable">report</a> by Bloomberg citing a Fox Business interview, President Trump stated that there needs to be a fair deal with China, ahead of a meeting with President Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea later this month.“I think we’re going to be fine with China, but we have to have a fair deal. It’s got to be fair,” he said in the interview, adding that he gets along well with President Xi.However, despite threatening a “massive” tariff hike against China, President Trump said it’s “not sustainable” when asked if these levies would remain in place without having a notable adverse impact on the U.S. economy. “But that’s what the number is, it’s probably not, you know, it could stand, but they forced me to do that,” he added, according to the report.Last week, President Trump said his administration is contemplating an increase in tariffs on Chinese goods coming into the U.S. He subsequently&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/dow-futures-surge-after-trump-tempers-china-tariff-threat/ch6SLAPR3ka">softened</a> his stance, stating that it “will all be fine,” adding that the United States wants to help China, not hurt it.Meanwhile, U.S. equities were mixed in Friday’s opening trade.

Trump Says China ‘Forced’ Him To Levy High Tariffs, But Thinks They Are ‘Not Sustainable’: Report

According to a report by Bloomberg citing a Fox Business interview, President Trump stated that there needs to be a fair deal with China.

Wall Street could have another down day on Friday, with index futures firmly in the red early Friday.&nbsp; Yet again, there would be little news flow on the economic front due to the ongoing government shutdown. The imminent release of key tech earnings over the next couple of weeks could prompt traders to take a defensive stance.&nbsp;Fund manager Louis Navellier flagged the shutdown and the China trade uncertainty as the two major issues weighing down on the market. Credit concerns have also emerged as another significant headwind following disclosures from a few banks on Thursday.&nbsp;As of 1 a.m. ET on Friday, the Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.51% and the S&amp;P 500 futures fell about 0.48%, and the Russell 2000 futures moved down a steeper 0.64%, while the Dow futures slipped a more modest 0.33%.The major averages fell moderately on Thursday amid a lack of any significant economic cues. Financials served as a big drag on the market after Zions Bancorp, a regional bank, disclosed a $50 million charge related to two commercial and industrial loans advanced by its California office, and its peer Western Alliance said it has sued Cantor for alleged fraud.&nbsp;Except for IT stocks, every other sector came under selling pressure amid the ongoing uncertainties.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/QQQ">Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ)</a> fell 0.68% and 0.37%, respectively, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/DIA">SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA)&nbsp;</a>ended down 0.68% The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/IWM">iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM)</a> slumped 2.11%, as small-caps, which have seen a nice run-up on rate cut hopes, experienced profit-taking amid signals of banking risks.&nbsp;Among the key earnings reports for the day are American Express (AXP), Comerica (CMA), Fifth Third (FITB), Regions Financial (RF), State Street (STT), Truist (TFC), Huntington Banc (HBAN), SLB (SLB), and Autoliv (ALV).Navellier said growth and momentum names led from the front amid the market volatility, with the fund manager confident of the trend remaining positive. He views the Federal Reserve’s rate cut and the end of the shutdown as near-term catalysts that can help the market take its next leg up.After ending Thursday’s session marginally higher, crude oil futures were marginally lower in the Asian session. The gold rally, which saw a let-up on Thursday, has resumed. On Thursday, the 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield broke below the 4% mark for the first time since early April and has fallen further early Friday. Falling bond yields reflect expectations that the central bank will lower rates. The U.S. dollar has weakened for a fourth straight session.&nbsp;The major Asian markets were swathed in a sea of red, as Wall Street’s dismal performance tempered risk appetite in the regional markets.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-csx-stock-rose-over-2-in-after-hours-trading/ch6rD5gR3FQ">Why CSX Stock Rose Over 2% In After-Hours Trading</a>

The company clarified that the revenue outlook exceeded contributions from Informatica, which it has agreed to acquire in an $8 billion deal. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter or in the company’s fiscal year 2027.COO and CFO Robin Washington reportedly&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/15/salesforce-stock-jumps-after-company-offers-rosy-forecast-for-2030.html">suggested</a> at the conference that the company’s growth might be picking up pace. “We have had some lower-stage growth for a while,” she said. “That is reaccelerating.” She guided year-over-year (YoY) organic revenue growth to over 10% in each of the fiscal years between now and 2030 from the sub-10% rate seen since 2024.Commenting on the concern that AI services would threaten software companies, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said, “There’s a certain amount of, let’s just say, nonsense that’s out there.

Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran on Wednesday reportedly batted for “more urgent” rate cuts now due to the rising trade tensions.During an&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaK8THoqaU0">interview</a> with CNBC, Miran stated that the recent flare-up in trade tensions with China has resulted in increased uncertainty about the U.S. economy, making it necessary for the Fed to adopt a more neutral monetary policy more quickly.“There’s now more downside risks than there was a week ago, and I think it’s incumbent upon us as policymakers to recognize that should get reflected in policy,” Miran said during the interview. However, he noted that this does not mean he wants even lower rates than he did a week or a month ago.“However, with the change to the balance of risks, I think it becomes even more urgent that we get to a more neutral place in policy quickly, as opposed to waiting for downside data to materialize,” he added.“If you hit the economy with a shock when the policy is very restrictive, the economy will react differently than it would if the policy was not as restrictive. So, I think it’s even more important now than I did a week ago that we move quickly to a more neutral stance,” he explained.Earlier this month,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/fed-miran-inflation-forecast-optimistic-calls-series-50-bps-rate-cuts/ch6PK5oR3hm">Miran called for</a> a series of 50-basis-point rate cuts and said that his forecast for inflation is more optimistic than some of his colleagues’.
