Trump publicly described Xi Jinping calling the U.S. “perhaps a declining nation,” agreeing that Biden-era policies weakened America while portraying his own presidency as restoring strength.
He highlighted military pressure on Iran, adding “(to be continued!),” which analysts interpret as signaling the Iran conflict remains unresolved. Trump also said Xi privately pledged not to send military equipment to Iran and offered help securing stability in the Strait of Hormuz. Source: Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡

U.S. TREASURY YIELDS ARE HITTING KEY LEVELS
While the S&P 500 just hit a fresh record high of 7,501, the bond market is pricing in higher interest rates for longer. The 30 year yield is at 5.085%. The 20 year is at 5.092%. The 10 year is at 4.538%. Every maturity is rising at the same time. Stocks are at all time highs because the AI boom is driving earnings and the market is pricing in years of continued growth. Bond yields do not care about AI. They care about a $2 trillion annual deficit, oil at $100, persistent inflation and a government borrowing more money every single day to fund a war. Can the equity markets bull run if bond yields keep rising? What's your take? Source: Bull Theory
Yields on 10y gilts have risen well above 5%, reaching their highest level since 2008 due to the UK government crisis.
Keir Starmer's premiership appears to be hanging by a thread after his much-anticipated policy reset speech on Monday - in response to the Labour Party's poor performance in recent local elections - failed to deliver the shift many MPs demanded. Starmer said on Tuesday that he wasn't going anywhere, but with calls for his departure mounting, he looks to be fighting a losing battle. Source: HolgerZ, Bloomberg
