Key Takeaways

  • Macro Environment: On Friday, global market risk-aversion sentiment surged due to the Trump administration’s threats to impose tariffs on the EU and its warning of tariffs against Apple. This led to a strong rebound in gold prices, while all three major U.S. stock indices declined. Over the weekend, trade tensions eased as Trump agreed to extend the deadline for EU trade negotiations to July 9. This signal of de-escalation immediately boosted market confidence, leading to a rebound in U.S. stock index futures on Monday morning.
  • Crypto Market: Triggered by Trump’s tariff threats, the correlation between Bitcoin and U.S. stock futures rose again. On Friday, Bitcoin dropped 3.9% as tariff concerns intensified, and trading sentiment remained subdued over the weekend. However, with signs of easing in EU tariff negotiations, Bitcoin quickly rebounded, nearly recouping weekend losses. Meanwhile, the ETH/BTC ratio declined for three consecutive days, and Bitcoin dominance continued to climb, indicating further capital rotation into Bitcoin amid risk-off sentiment. Altcoins generally underperformed, though certain tokens like B, AIXBT, HYPE, and NEIRO saw strong short-term rebounds.
