China called the order an “unprecedented escalation” by Washington and warned it would be forced to respond.“You almost have a tug of war in markets between positives and negatives and it’s finally balanced.

“The forces of liquidity are just unparalleled ... we’re seeing what happened post the GFC , but we’re seeing it on steroids,” said Kay Van-Petersen, global macro strategist at Saxo Capital Markets in Singapore.
