WTI Crude Oil took a risk-on tone yesterday morning after the Trump-Xi meeting was reportedly good. Scott Bessent announced a Soybean trade deal as a win, even though it was for 1\/2 of what they used to buy from us. If that\u2019s all we pressed for, a 50% cut in their Soybean imports, it seems like we are clearly lacking leverage and are caving but I am not sure. A normalization of relations with China would be a top-tier catalyst that would jolt the US and Global economy back on track. A bullish macro catalyst is desperately needed, and China normalization is a top-tier macro catalyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geopolitical risk is resurfacing with strikes on Venezuela, home to the world\u2019s largest Oil reserves. While this could be a bullish catalyst in the short to medium term, a full-scale military conflict and regime change would likely be a longer-term bear catalyst as White House Asset Management facilitates the re-entry of US oil majors into the Venezuelan production zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
