李鑫恒:黄金昨晚上演多空双杀 今天谨防周五黑天鹅

Core Viewpoint - Gold continues to be viewed as a safe haven for global investors, experiencing significant volatility following the release of the U.S. core Consumer Price Index (CPI) for November, which fell to its lowest level since early 2021, leading to fluctuations in gold prices [1][6][7]. Economic Indicators - The November CPI year-on-year was reported at 2.7%, below the expected 3.1%, reinforcing expectations for a 25 basis point rate cut in March [2][7]. - The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield decreased to 4.12%, which lowers the cost of holding gold [2][7]. - The European Central Bank maintained interest rates, indicating that the rate-cutting cycle may be over, while the Bank of England reduced its benchmark rate from 4.00% to 3.75% [2][7]. - The Bank of Japan raised rates by 25 basis points, aligning with market expectations [2][7]. Geopolitical Factors - The U.S. imposed sanctions on 29 oil tankers and their management companies, targeting a "shadow fleet" involved in transporting Iranian oil and petroleum products [2][8]. - U.S. Special Envoy for Middle East Issues is set to meet with officials from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey to discuss the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, amid concerns that both Israel and Hamas are delaying the implementation of the agreement [2][8]. Technical Analysis - The recent trading pattern of gold indicates a lack of strong bullish momentum, with the market showing signs of potential technical pullbacks [3][9]. - The daily chart suggests that gold may face resistance around the 4365-70 range, while support is being tested at the 4320 level [3][9]. - The hourly chart indicates a trend towards horizontal consolidation, but prolonged sideways movement increases the risk of a significant downward correction [3][9]. Trading Recommendations - Day traders should monitor short-term resistance around 4345-50 and support near 4310-05, with potential for further testing of the 4280-70 support zone if these levels are breached [4][9]. - Short positions may be considered if prices rebound to 4330-32, with a stop-loss above 4340 and a target around 4315-10 [4][9]. - Long positions could be attempted near 4305-00, but should be limited to short-term trades with a stop-loss at 4295 and a target of 4320 [4][9].
