Key Summary
Global markets currently navigate a complex interplay between economic slowdown expectations and shifting policy stances. The Federal Reserve’s opening of the rate cut window boosted gold bulls, though short-term profit-taking intensified. Progress in China-US trade talks and anticipated reductions in Japanese auto tariffs fueled a yen rebound, while A-shares (mainland Chinese stocks) and Hong Kong tech sectors came under pressure amid strong bank sector performance. Oil supply policy uncertainty persists, driving heightened short-term volatility in gold and the dollar index. Traders should focus on upcoming key events, including U.S. nonfarm payrolls and eurozone retail sales.
Key Highlights:
Japan and the United States are set to agree on lowering Japan’s auto import tariffs from 27.5% to 15%, prompting the dollar against the yen to fall nearly 30 pips to 148.24.
