President Donald Trump's rescheduled state visit to Beijing for a summit with Xi Jinping on May 14-15 stands as the dominant driver of trader sentiment, following White House confirmation after a postponement from late March due to the U.S.-Iran conflict. This first presidential trip to China in eight years aims to stabilize bilateral relations amid tariffs, rare earth supply chains, Taiwan tensions, and potential Middle East diplomacy involving the Strait of Hormuz. Recent diplomatic signaling, including a Trump ally's preparatory visit and Eric Trump's personal attendance, bolsters expectations, though ongoing Iran hostilities or escalation risks could trigger further delays. Traders weigh these official commitments against geopolitical uncertainties ahead of the key May dates.
