🇺🇸🤝🇷🇺 The Alaska Gambit – Trump x Putin, Markets on Edge
On Aug 15, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska — yes, the same Alaska Russia sold to the U.S. in 1867.
The topic? Ukraine’s future… and whispers of “territorial adjustments” that could reshape global power.
🌍 Why It Matters to Markets
Geopolitical Shockwaves: Peace or escalation will instantly ripple through commodities, oil, and crypto.
Ukraine Factor: Any deal without Kyiv’s consent risks political instability in Europe.
Russia’s Leverage: State media calls this a “historic win” for Putin just by holding the meeting on U.S. soil.
⚡ Market Sentiment:
A genuine peace breakthrough could send risk-on assets like $BTC , $ETH surging.
But a controversial deal may spike safe-haven demand (Gold, USD) and trigger short-term crypto volatility.
🗓 Watchlist: Aug 15 → Volatility window for BTC, Oil, Ruble, and European markets.
