Macroeconomic & Policy Commentary
Former U.S. President Donald Trump commented on global energy dynamics, stating that the world largely depends on the United States for oil supplies and highlighting the stability of this supply route, bypassing key strategic waterways.
Market Analysis & Outlook
Market analyst Yi Lihua shared his tactical view, indicating he would hold positions awaiting a broader market rebound rather than taking quick profits. He suggested that the conclusion of a specific international agreement could act as a positive catalyst. Goldman Sachs noted in a report that if corporate fundamentals remain robust during the current earnings season, the AI-driven market breakout has ample room to extend further.
Weekly Token Unlock Alert
- Tokens for projects including ARB, YZY, and STRK are scheduled for significant one-time unlocks this week, potentially impacting market liquidity.
Industry Leader Perspective
