Russian presidential aide Ushakov disclosed details of the latest call between the U.S. and Russian presidents on the morning of October 10. During the call, Putin stated unequivocally that it was currently impossible to resume negotiations with Ukraine, citing attacks on civilians by the Ukrainian side and its attempts to disrupt elections to the Russian State Duma. Putin also emphasized that Russian forces had seized the initiative on the battlefield, while U.S. President Trump instructed that the relevant information be relayed to the Ukrainian delegation.
The call directly dampened market optimism about a swift Russia-Ukraine ceasefire. The geopolitical stalemate suggests that a turning point in the conflict is unlikely in the near term, and the international standoff remains intense. Substantive discussions have yet to begin on the direct meeting between the two countries' leaders that many had hoped for.
For traditional financial markets, the lack of relief in geopolitical risks is keeping safe-haven assets such as crude oil and precious metals highly sensitive. Global risk aversion has risen somewhat, and capital is shifting more frequently between risk assets and traditional defensive sectors. Investors' concerns about the macroeconomic supply chain and the energy situation have yet to fully subside.
In crypto markets, $BTC and major tokens are broadly trading sideways as investors wait and see. In the short term, capital has not blindly committed to either direction, with liquidity tending to wait for clearer macro signals. With external uncertainty persisting, prices are likely to remain range-bound, so we recommend managing position sizes carefully. 👀
