The tariff escalation narrative might be cooling off. Major financial institutions are now signaling that trade tensions could be entering a de-escalation cycle, marking a shift from the earlier aggressive posturing. This pivot matters—when large-cap banks start adjusting their stance on geopolitical friction, it typically signals underlying market expectations are recalibrating. The move away from tariff-war rhetoric toward potential negotiation suggests traders and strategists should watch how this reshapes capital flow patterns. Fewer tariff concerns could mean different pressures on commodity prices, forex volatility, and cross-border transaction costs. For anyone tracking macro trends or managing asset exposure, this inflection point deserves attention—policy winds are shifting, and markets tend to move ahead of official announcements.

Banks' recent actions are really sending signals to the market. Is the trade war about to ease? --- Wait, will these talks really continue or is it just another tactic... --- After such a long time, the tension is finally easing. I can breathe a sigh of relief about my holdings hh --- The key is how capital flows will change; we need to keep a close eye. The opportunity is inside. --- Whenever financial institutions shift, it's a signal. We need to react quickly this time. --- Commodity prices and exchange rates need to be re-priced. I'm a bit hopeful. --- Being polite, it's called "de-escalation," but frankly, it's still a political bargaining chip... But the market is indeed pricing it in advance. --- So now is the time for contrarian thinking. It's most dangerous when everyone is thinking the same way.

The big banks' cooling signals are here; this round of tariff drama might really be reversing. This game is playing out quite intricately; banks are very perceptive. Let's wait and see how commodity prices and exchange rates fluctuate.

It's that same old "sentiment has shifted" narrative again. When the big players adjust their stance, the market follows suit, which is a bit funny... But on the other hand, we really do need to keep a close eye on commodity prices. This time, it might truly be different.

According to data, major banks tend to lead the market by 3-5 trading days when their attitude shifts. It is worth noting that this de-leveraging process is about 22% faster than the historical average. --- Key question: If trade friction truly enters a mitigation cycle, which type of assets will liquidity flow into first? Can on-chain data provide an answer? --- Analysis from three dimensions—first, the lag issue of major banks' signals; second, the turning point of commodity futures volatility; third, the actual impact of cross-border settlement costs... In short, it can only be confirmed by on-chain trading volume. --- Risk warning: Narrative shifts do not mean a fundamental improvement; beware of the tricks of reverse operations. --- Hmm... Policy direction has changed but real data has not yet caught up. Currently, we are still in the "futures pricing" stage, and the actual capital flow will only be clear at settlement. --- Based on macro hedge fund holdings data, short positions are slowly being closed but the extent is less than the expected 40%, indicating that the market does not fully trust this round of easing.

Hmm, it's the same old story... When the big banks change their tune, does it mean a cooling down? I think we still need to look at the actual data to be sure.

Speaking of which, the big banks' recent adjustment in stance is quite interesting. They've shifted from a confrontational attitude to negotiation, and it feels like market expectations are really being reshuffled.
