Geopolitical Impact on Monetary Policy - Uncertainties in the global political landscape, including U.S.-China relations and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, are expected to influence central bank policies, potentially leading to a loosening of monetary policy [1][5] - The macroeconomic data for June is anticipated to peak, with subsequent weakness providing justification for easing measures [1][5] 3.

Geopolitical Conflicts and Asset Classes - Historical trends show that geopolitical conflicts typically raise gold prices and U.S. Treasury yields while affecting the Chinese bond market differently due to domestic pricing mechanisms [8] - The impact of geopolitical tensions on economic growth, inflation, and external balance pressures is complex, with both positive and negative implications for the bond market [8] 6.
