Next week seems to be a critical juncture. China-U.S. talks, preliminary agreement between Iran and the U.S., new Federal Reserve Chair taking office. All major events are converging at this point, seemingly deliberately arranged. Some people want to phase out certain issues and then move on to the next stage of work.

This China-U.S. meeting, I feel, has a bit of the flavor of a "wartime temporary alliance," everyone fears that in a crisis "the fire will burn the entire forest," and everyone wants to protect their own fundamental interests.
A strong alliance can ensure that the foundation of the market remains stable, but small and weak neighboring countries might be exploited.
