$BTC In London on Monday, June 9, 2025, a new round of trade talks between the United States and China began, within the framework of the high-level economic and trade consultation mechanism, following the interim agreement that took place in Geneva last month. The discussions focus particularly on complex issues including the export of rare minerals and reducing trade restrictions on technology and exports to Chinese companies, such as Huawei.

The Washington delegation includes Treasury Secretary Scott Bancen, Commerce Secretary Howard, and Trade Representative Jameson Greer, while the Chinese delegation is led by Vice Premier He Lifeng. Asian markets showed clear optimism, with the MSCI Asia-Pacific Index rising by 0.7%, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange rising by 0.8%.

Despite the positive anticipation, investors remained cautious of potential events, such as the upcoming U.S. inflation data and internal unrest in the United States. If the talks make tangible progress, they could lead to stability in global markets and facilitate the exchange of critical minerals from China to the United States.
