Stock markets in Asia had different results on Tuesday. The good feeling about the break in the trade problem between the US and China ended. Some experts also said that President Trump's ideas might still change fast.

The United States and China talked and agreed to lower the taxes on things they sell to each other.

The result was better than expected, and this made investors feel safer, Stephen Innes from SPI Asset Management said.

He said the talks were planned carefully, but they looked good and had important results. It means that even the government understands that always having taxes on goods makes the economy slower.

But there are still big problems in the talks between China and the US, and many Asian countries still need to make their own deals to lower taxes on goods.

Beijing is still angry about the trade war. On Tuesday, China's leader Xi Jinping spoke to people from China and Latin America. He repeated that no one wins a trade war. He also said that trying to control others will make you alone.

The Tokyo stock market, called the Nikkei 225, went up by 1.6% to 38,232.21. Car companies did very well. For example, Toyota's stock went up by 3.7% and Suzuki's stock went up by 4.3%.

Nissan's stock went up by 3.4% because the company said it will cut over 10,000 jobs. This means they will cut 20,000 jobs in total to help the company change. Nissan was going to share its financial results for the past year later that day.

The Kospi in South Korea stayed almost the same. It ended at 2,606.46.

Yesterday, the stock market in Hong Kong went up 3% because China and the U.S. agreed to stop adding more taxes on goods. But today, it went down 1.5% to 23,189.15. This happened because people sold many shares in technology companies.

The stock market in Shanghai went up a little, by 0.2%. The market in Taiwan went up more, by 1%.

The stock market in Australia went up a little, by 0.5%, to reach 8,274.70 points.

On Monday, the two biggest economies in the world said they would make it cheaper to trade many things with each other.

This made the S&P 500 go up 3.3%. It is now almost as high as it was in February, which was its highest point ever. It went down almost 20% but went up again last month. This happened because people hope President Donald Trump will lower taxes on goods from other countries after making trade deals.

A main stock market index, which is important for many people's retirement money, is now higher than it was on April 2nd. On that day, the President announced new taxes on goods from other countries. This made people worried about the economy getting worse.

The main stock markets went up a lot.

Oil prices went down a little after going up on Monday.

On Monday, the U.S. dollar got stronger compared to the euro and the Japanese yen. On Tuesday morning, the dollar was worth 147.98 Japanese yen, which was a little less than the day before. But the dollar got stronger against the euro, going from $1.1088 to $1.1113.

The US and China stopped for a while after the US and the UK made a deal last week. This deal means that taxes on many things from the UK will be 10%, but it will still need a few weeks.

Later this week, we will get economic reports. These reports will tell us about prices and how people feel about the economy. They might show how much the economy has been hurt because people are not sure about trade taxes.

Many shops did well because they get many things they sell from China and other countries in Asia. For example, Best Buy's stock went up by 6.6%, and Amazon's went up by 8.1%.

Smaller companies in the U.S. did well because they depend on the U.S. economy. The Russell 2000 index, which shows how these companies are doing, went up by 3.4%.

Companies that make clothes and buy many things from China also did well.
