Group 1: Market Overview - The Asia-Pacific stock markets generally declined, and US stock futures fell slightly due to escalating geopolitical tensions, leading to increased demand for safe-haven assets like gold and silver, with silver hitting a new high and gold approaching its historical peak from October [1][3] - International oil prices rebounded significantly, with WTI and Brent crude oil both rising over 1%, driven by Trump's order to impose a comprehensive blockade on sanctioned oil tankers entering and leaving Venezuela, raising concerns about tighter supply [1][9] - The US dollar index continued its upward trend, increasing by over 0.2% during the day, while US Treasury yields rose slightly, indicating a shift in market focus towards upcoming inflation data for clearer policy direction [1][11] Group 2: Precious Metals Performance - Precious metals experienced a notable surge, with gold prices rising to over $4,330 per ounce, just shy of the October record high of $4,381, and silver surpassing $66 per ounce, marking a historical peak [3][6] - Platinum also saw its fifth consecutive day of gains, reaching its highest level since 2011, reflecting a broader trend of capital flowing into hard assets amid rising geopolitical risks [1][6] Group 3: Employment Data Impact - The latest US employment data showed a modest increase of 64,000 jobs in November, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.6%, the highest since 2021, but the data was not seen as severe enough to trigger immediate rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [10][11] - Market expectations for a rate cut in January are currently around 20%, as the Federal Reserve may view the employment report with a balanced perspective rather than a negative one [10][11]
