The US-China agreement on $30 billion in tariff relief offers a partial counter-narrative to trade war escalation, though its impact is currently muted by energy and defense shocks. Meanwhile, the 30-year Treasury yield holding near 5.44% maintains pressure on high-multiple growth stocks and real estate. Beijing's strategic expansion into Central American mining concessions adds a layer of resource nationalism risk, potentially affecting long-term supply chains for critical minerals. The macro environment remains characterized by high borrowing costs and geopolitical fragmentation.
