Asian Stock Markets Slowly Getting Used to "Trump Pattern": Early-Week Pullback with Converging Margins, Volatility Repeatedly Priced In

BlockBeats News, April 13th. On Monday, Asian stock markets continued the "gap down - recovery" trend. The Japanese Nikkei 225 and the South Korean KOSPI both experienced significant declines at the open, but the losses quickly narrowed.

Since the escalation of the Iran conflict, the magnitude of Monday's pullback has been decreasing: starting from nearly double-digit declines, gradually converging to the current mild pullback range, indicating a reduced market sensitivity to the impact of geopolitical conflicts.

On the trading front, the "Trump Model" is being systematically priced in: during the week, creating uncertainty through policy signals or tough statements, then over the weekend, easing positions or achieving an "outcome victory" to restore expectations, driving a rebound in risk assets. After repeated validation within this framework, trading appetite for early-week volatility diminishes, selling pressure weakens, and the volatility pattern tends to converge.
