Select Sector SPDR-Consumer Discretionary

XPOF

Shares of companies in the broader consumer discretionary sector are trading higher after President Trump indicated tariffs against China will be lowered and trade tensions may de-escalate. Tariff concerns have weighed on the sector this year due to their expected impact on consumer spending.

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCL#NYSE">RCL</a>) shares are trading higher by 4.80% to $209.26 Wednesday, rising in step with the broader market following renewed optimism over U.S.–China trade tensions.
What To Know: Shares of the Miami-based cruise operator jumped amid investor enthusiasm sparked by a report that the Trump administration is considering cutting steep tariffs on Chinese imports.
According to the WSJ <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/white-house-considers-slashing-china-tariffs-to-de-escalate-trade-war-6f875d69">report</a>, officials are exploring options to reduce current levies by up to half, potentially bringing tariffs down to 50–65%. A tiered approach is also under review, with 35% tariffs on non-strategic goods and at least 100% on items critical to national security, phased in over five years.

President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44944368/us-stocks-likely-to-open-higher-after-trump-administration-hints-at-a-deal-with-china-it-is-prudent-to-expect-continued-volatility-in-the-weeks-ahead-says-expert">confirmed the shift in tone</a> Tuesday, saying the 145% tariffs he imposed on China "will come down," though he added, "it won't be zero."
Markets, roiled in recent weeks by escalating trade threats, welcomed the news. China responded by signaling openness to new negotiations, further boosting investor sentiment.
Royal Caribbean, which depends heavily on stable global trade for fuel costs, shipbuilding materials and international tourism flows, stands to benefit from a potential de-escalation.
Wall Street's bullish response overshadowed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44952395/us-business-activity-growth-slows-in-april-as-services-suffer-tariff-shock-markets-rally-as-trade-war-cools">weaker-than-expected</a> U.S. services data, suggesting resilience in select sectors despite economic headwinds.
