The expected appointment of officials with strong anti-China views to President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet was welcomed by hedge fund veteran Kyle Bass, even as it risks straining ties between the world’s largest economies.

Swiss money manager cuts mid-2025 and end-2025 targets for MSCI China Index because of tariff uncertainties and disappointing stimulus.
