Despite the lack of concrete and immediately actionable agreements, the meeting helped reinforce the fragile trade truce reached in recent months, avoiding โ€” at least for now โ€” a new escalation between the worldโ€™s two largest economies. ๐Ÿ”Ž ๐™ˆ๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™จ ๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™ข๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™›๐™ค๐™˜๐™ช๐™จ๐™š๐™™ ๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ง๐™š๐™š ๐™ ๐™š๐™ฎ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ข๐™š๐™จ: โ€ข U.S.-China trade relations โ€ข the Iran crisis and the Strait of Hormuz โ€ข the impact on inflation, energy, and interest rates Trump stated that China could increase purchases of U.S. oil, with potential supplies coming from Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska. In addition, according to the U.S. president, Xi expressed interest in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, a crucial route for global energy trade. Beijing, however, has not officially confirmed either the energy purchases or any strategic commitments regarding Iran, maintaining a more cautious and diplomatic stance. ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐™„๐™ข๐™ข๐™š๐™™๐™ž๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™›๐™ง๐™ค๐™ข ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง๐™œ๐™ฎ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™จ: โ€ข Brent crude above $109 per barrel โ€ข WTI crude above $105 โ€ข renewed inflationary pressure concerns The oil rally was mainly driven by fears of a potential escalation in the Middle East conflict, along with Trumpโ€™s comments admitting he was โ€œlosing patienceโ€ with Tehran. ๐Ÿ’ฃ ๐™๐™ง๐™ž๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™›๐™ž๐™ง๐™จ๐™ฉ ๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™ก ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ช๐™จ๐™š ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฌ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™๐™–๐™™ ๐™จ๐™š๐™š๐™ข๐™š๐™™ ๐™ก๐™ž๐™ ๐™š ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™จ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™—๐™ก๐™š ๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™ ๐™š๐™ฉ ๐™ง๐™–๐™ก๐™ก๐™ฎ. After weeks of continuous gains, the tech sector experienced significant profit-taking, particularly in stocks such as: โ€ข Nvidia โ€ข AMD โ€ข Micron โ€ข Intel Boeing also moved lower after investors were disappointed by indications regarding Chinese aircraft orders: Trump mentioned 200 jets, a figure below initial market expectations. Artificial intelligence-related companies continue to keep major indexes near record highs, while the broader market is becoming increasingly concerned about macroeconomic data, especially on inflation: โ€ข CPI at 3.8% โ€ข PPI at 6% โ€ข accelerating import/export prices These figures immediately pushed bond yields higher: โ€ข U.S. 10-year Treasury yield near 4.6% โ€ข U.S. 30-year Treasury yield above 5.1%, the highest level since 2007 ๐Ÿ“Œ ๐˜พ๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™ก๐™ช๐™จ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ Although the summit helped prevent an immediate deterioration in relations between Washington and Beijing, investors still perceive a fragile environment: โœ”๏ธ persistently high inflation โœ”๏ธ restrictive central bank policies โœ”๏ธ ongoing geopolitical tensions โœ”๏ธ an equity rally increasingly concentrated in the tech sector The message from the markets is clear: diplomacy may support stability, but without concrete economic agreements and a real reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, volatility risks remain extremely high.
