$BTC $BTC , Macroeconomic Risk Mitigation, Market Sentiment Rebounds
As signs of easing in the US-China trade friction emerge, market risk appetite has significantly rebounded. Recently, US President Trump has sent positive signals, indicating a willingness to resume negotiations with China, which has alleviated investors' concerns about an escalation of the 'tariff war'. Although a complete restoration of relations between the two countries will take time, short-term policy adjustments have created a favorable environment for risk assets. Last week, Bitcoin surged quickly from $85,000 to $95,000, while safe-haven assets like gold saw a pullback.
This week, the market's focus shifts to US economic data, including non-farm employment, GDP, and PCE inflation indicators. If the data is weak, it may reinforce expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in June, further benefiting risk assets. However, caution is warranted regarding the potential impact of the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision on global liquidity.
