The US market closed in the red, with spot gold prices rising to their highest level, following the trend we've been monitoring since the beginning of the year.
The decline in US Treasury yields caused the US stock market to end the session in the red, as major indices all dropped due to cautious investor sentiment ahead of upcoming economic policies from the new administration.
US government bond yields fell as investors expect the Fed may cut interest rates this year if economic data continues to weaken. The DXY index maintained a slight downward trend, closing at 108.97, pressured by the expectation that the Fed might reduce interest rates if the US economy weakens further. USD/JPY dropped to 155.2, its lowest level in nearly a month.
As we have previously analyzed, our view on gold’s upward trend has been accurate, but we should not become complacent with the successes of the past few days. As mentioned earlier, geopolitical issues in conflict areas are being addressed, and agreements have been made to prevent further escalation. This could be a significant signal that gold may no longer have the same appeal for investors, and the slight decline in the DXY (USD) is merely a part of adjustments for upcoming financial plans under the new President Trump. Therefore, it is important to closely follow the trend and manage positions wisely, avoiding stubbornness in such times.
