【UNFX课堂】外汇市场一周回顾与展望：全球市场风险偏好强势回归，风险不容小觑

Core Viewpoint - The global financial market experienced a significant return of risk appetite during the week of June 20 to 27, 2025, driven by the easing of geopolitical tensions and dovish signals from the Federal Reserve [1][2]. Geopolitical Factors - The notable easing of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, alleviated concerns about escalating conflicts, leading to a sharp decline in oil prices from nearly $80 to $66, marking the largest weekly drop since March 2023 [1]. - The reduction in geopolitical risk premium also diminished the appeal of traditional safe-haven assets like gold, which saw a consecutive decline for two weeks [1]. Monetary Policy Signals - The Federal Reserve's dovish signals, particularly from Vice Chair Bowman, who unexpectedly supported the possibility of rate cuts in the summer, indicated a shift in the Fed's internal assessment of inflation and economic outlook [3]. - Market expectations for rate cuts in 2025 have risen to 2-3 times, with an increased probability of a cut in July, leading to a significant decline in U.S. Treasury yields [3]. Market Performance - Global stock markets experienced a broad rally, with major U.S. indices like the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones reaching historical highs, reflecting restored market confidence and a shift towards growth-oriented assets [4]. - Technology stocks, sensitive to interest rate changes, benefited significantly from the rising rate cut expectations [4]. Regional Market Trends - Asian markets, particularly Japan, showed strong performance, reflecting improved global risk sentiment and optimism regarding trade prospects [5]. - The cryptocurrency market also thrived, with Bitcoin surpassing $107,000, indicating strong institutional interest in crypto assets [5]. Currency Movements - The U.S. dollar index experienced its worst week in years, dropping to a three-year low due to reduced demand for the dollar as a safe-haven currency and narrowing interest rate differentials [6][7]. - Other major currencies, such as the euro and British pound, strengthened against the dollar, reflecting improved economic outlooks [7]. Commodity Market Dynamics - The commodity market showed clear differentiation, with oil and gold prices declining due to reduced geopolitical risk and safe-haven demand, while industrial metals like copper rose nearly 6% to a two-month high [8]. - The performance of different commodities was influenced by unique fundamental factors, despite an overall improvement in risk appetite [8]. Upcoming Economic Indicators - The upcoming week is expected to bring significant economic data releases, including global PMI, CPI, and U.S. non-farm payroll reports, which will provide insights into global economic health and inflation pressures [8].
