#USChinaTradeTalks : Market Eyes Key London Talks amid Trade Truce

Negotiators from the U.S. and China met in London on June 9, 2025, aiming to build on the fragile 90-day tariff truce struck in Geneva. The U.S. delegation—led by Bessent, Lutnick, and Greer—focused on export controls and critical minerals, while China responded by resuming rare-earth shipments after the prior suspend-and-reduce phase .

Asian markets rallied modestly—Hang Seng and Nikkei each climbed ~1.3%—while the dollar eased as investors anticipated diplomatic progress . U.S. stock futures dipped ahead of the negotiations, reflecting cautious optimism .

Crypto markets held steady—Bitcoin hovered near $105K—awaiting the outcome and the U.S. CPI data later this week . A successful round could stabilize global sentiment and boost both equities and digital assets; failure risks renewed volatility in trade-sensitive sectors.
