In the long arc of global commerce, moments of reprieve carry their own weight — not as resolution, but as breath. On Tuesday, Asian markets surged after President Trump extended a 90-day tariff truce with China, sparing the world economy from an immediate escalation to triple-digit duties. Japan's Nikkei 225 touched an all-time record, a milestone that speaks less to triumph than to the relief of a crisis deferred. The rally reminds us that markets, like people, often move most powerfully not on certainty, but on the temporary lifting of fear.
