Citi Reduces Exposure to US Stocks Due to Ongoing War Risks

On March 27, Citi announced it is reducing its exposure to US stocks and warned that the conflict in Iran is unlikely to end quickly, with rising downside risks. The bank has downgraded its overweight position in small-cap stocks to neutral and adjusted its overall stock allocation to neutral, citing oil shocks, weak macro signals, and tightening liquidity. The market is already under pressure, with major indices approaching correction territory; Citi cautioned that current levels of panic are limited, and if tensions escalate, there is still room for further market declines.

  • Yili Hua: Crypto Market Disappoints Over the Past 4 Years, Mid-tier Investors, Retail Investors, and VCs Have All Been Harvested

    On March 27, Yili Hua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), stated that the cryptocurrency market is currently in a bear phase and that the war is not over, with no significant rebound in sight. The past four years in the crypto space have been disappointing; the 1011 event harvested mid-tier crypto investors, the demise of altcoins harvested retail investors, and the 1+3 rule harvested crypto VCs. Meanwhile, exchanges, market makers, and project teams have been continuously drawing blood, with the only source of lifeblood being Wall Street's ETFs and DAT, along with a few remaining believers. The anticipated disruptive innovation in crypto has yet to occur, raising questions about whether the next bull market will emerge simply due to the four-year cycle or for other reasons.
  • Vance Set to Lead US-Iran Talks, His Anti-War Stance May Facilitate Diplomatic Breakthrough

    On March 27, according to AXIOS, U.S. Vice President Vance is preparing to take on the most significant task of his career: leading the U.S. efforts aimed at ending the war, having expressed reservations about the initiation of the conflict from the outset. Vance has had multiple conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and has participated in indirect communications with the Iranians. He is expected to become the chief negotiator for the U.S. in potential peace talks. According to sources from the U.S. and Israel, Vance is deeply skeptical of Israel's optimistic pre-war assessments regarding the conflict's trajectory, with expectations that the war will continue for several more weeks. Vance's advisors believe that there are individuals within Israel attempting to sideline the Vice President, possibly due to perceptions that he is not tough enough. Israeli officials have denied this. White House officials stated that Vance's qualifications within the government and his consistent opposition to endless overseas conflicts make him a more acceptable dialogue partner for the Iranians compared to Witkoff and Kushner, who were responsible for the previous two rounds of unsuccessful negotiations.
