There is new information about the geopolitical line: Trump said the U.S.-Iran negotiations were "ongoing" and said it was Iran's "last chance" to reach a deal. The market's first reaction is, of course, "good risk assets." But the storytelling thing depends on what it changes. The so-called "last chance" can be understood as having a chance to negotiate, with a downgrade in sight, or as an ultimatum, and taking action if the talks fail. In the same sentence, each person takes what they need. In the recent rebound of $BTC, it is difficult to distinguish how much of it is due to price easing and how much is just short-covering. My attitude: Politicians' statements are signals in the noise, not certainty in the signals. Don't use a negotiation call to determine the position's life or death. Walk and watch.$BTC
