Trump and Xi sat down for a state dinner, traded warm words and gifts, but reportedly made little headway on tariffs, tech export curbs or Taiwan. Markets read that as no de-escalation — the trade standoff just stays on simmer rather than cooling off. That usually keeps a firm bid under safe havens, so XAU stays supported and the dollar (DXY) holds up as funds park in Treasuries while the next round of talks is unclear. BTC sits awkwardly in the middle: risk-off headlines from the China cycle tend to trigger selling, but any hint of future liquidity or tariff relief can flip it the other way fast. Watch chip and rare-earth commentary for the next jolt.
