Donald Trump shelved planned 10%–25% tariffs on European goods after citing a Greenland “framework” deal, triggering a relief rally in US stocks, Treasuries, and the dollar. 🇯🇵 About 44% of Japanese firms now see rising rates as a net negative—up ~7 points since 2024—complicating normalization for the Bank of Japan as borrowing costs hit a three-decade high. ⛽️ China’s Russian LNG imports hit a record 1.9 million tons in December—more than double ship-tracking estimates—pointing to stronger-than-expected demand despite an 11% drop in total LNG imports last year.

Do you know why Trump wants very low interest rates in the USA?? Let me explain his desperation using an ongoing situation with the US Treasury Department The news is that the US government sold $654 billion in Treasuries last week across 9 auctions with the highest yield since 2025. #1 Most of these old bills, notes & bonds were maturing this week - Around $500 billion of old T-Bills matured this week (T-Bills have short-term maturities from 4 to 26 weeks) - But the US Treasury does not have cash to repay So it issues NEW DEBT: 1. $500B of new T-Bills 2. Furthermore, $154 billion in notes and bonds were issued, including $50 billion in 10-year notes. Basically, the old debt is paid using new borrowing Why Danger - because the treasury yields are at peak levels (despite Fed rate cuts) - Maturities get shorter - Rollovers become frequent and expensive

🛢️ OIL DROPS AMID IRAN TALKS & U.S. TARIFF UNCERTAINTY Oil fell ~1% Monday as markets reacted to: * 🇺🇸 U.S.–🇮🇷 Iran preparing for a 3rd round of nuclear talks * Reduced fears of immediate supply disruption * Fresh tariff signals from Donald Trump * Rising concerns over global growth * Weaker fuel demand outlook When war risk cools → supply fears ease → oil pulls back. When tariffs rise → growth expectations fall → demand weakens. Geopolitics + Trade Policy = Market Volatility. Is this just a headline-driven dip… or the beginning of a broader demand slowdown? Traders — bullish bounce or deeper correction? 👇

The dollar was poised on Friday to cap its strongest weekly performance since October, buoyed by a run of better-than-expected economic data, a more hawkish Federal Reserve outlook and as tensions between the U.S. and Iran kept markets on edge.
