Fundamental Analysis - Gold prices continued to decline, trading around $3133, following a drop of over 2% on Wednesday, reaching a low of $3167.94 per ounce, the lowest since April 10, closing at $3177.32 per ounce. This decline was attributed to increased risk appetite due to improved trade sentiment, leading investors to exit the gold market [1] - The US dollar index rebounded, rising 0.08% to 101.04, while US Treasury yields reached a six-week high, with the 10-year yield surpassing the critical 4.5% level at 4.536%. Changes in interest rate expectations have diminished the appeal of non-yielding assets like gold. The probability of a Fed rate cut in September has decreased to 74%, down from earlier expectations of a potential cut in July [1] Trade Relations - The immediate catalyst for the drop in gold prices was the easing of global trade tensions, with the US and China agreeing to significantly reduce tariffs and pausing tariff imposition for 90 days. This positive news boosted market risk appetite, leading to a rise in major Wall Street indices as investors shifted from safe-haven assets to higher-risk investments. President Trump's comments about potential agreements with India, Japan, and South Korea further bolstered market confidence [2] Geopolitical Risks - Despite the easing trade tensions, geopolitical risks remain. Trade negotiations between the EU and the US are progressing slowly, with significant differences in agreement scope. The EU's trade commissioner has stated that they will not accept an unfair agreement under pressure. The US has imposed 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles, threatening to expand the scope of tariffs. The $9.5 trillion trade and investment relationship between the US and EU faces serious challenges, which could potentially revive gold's safe-haven demand [4] Market Dynamics - The recent adjustment in the gold market reflects both improved risk sentiment and profit-taking by investors following previous gains. The price of gold is likely to remain volatile due to the interplay of trade dynamics, monetary policy, and economic data. Investors should pay attention to the upcoming US April PPI data and retail sales figures, as well as comments from Federal Reserve officials regarding rate cut expectations [4] Technical Analysis - On the daily chart, gold recorded a significant bearish candle, reinforcing a short-term bearish structure. The price tested a one-month low around $3167 before stabilizing, indicating potential further declines. Traders should monitor the support level at $3150, with a risk of dropping to around $3060. In the 1-4 hour timeframe, the price has extended its decline after breaking below $3200, with ongoing tests around the $3130 level [6]

瑞穗首席执行官Masahiro Kihara表示，由于特朗普政府的关税措施使商业规划更加不可预测，全球贸易 的不确定性导致该银行预测更为保守的前景。一天前，三井住友金融集团警告说，客户对交易和投资变 得谨慎起来，它拨出了900亿日元以应对经济衰退风险。 这些日本银行在过去一年中实现了创纪录的利润，这得益于人们期待已久的日本央行加息，以及出售所 持客户公司股票带来的收益。但日本依赖贸易的经济出现下滑的风险，给进一步加息的前景蒙上了阴 影，并给股价带来压力。 MUFG在一份报告中表示，"高度不确定性"使得预测贸易政策对经济、商业环境和业绩的影响具有挑战 性。该报告列出了从滞胀到对美元失去信任等一系列风险。 所有银行的净利润指引都低于分析师的平均预期，不过这对日本银行来说并不罕见，即使在经济稳定时 期，它们在设定年度目标时也往往很谨慎。 日本最大的几家银行预计，今年的利润将再创历史新高，并公布了回购股票的计划，尽管它们警告称， 贸易紧张局势可能会损害商业和经济增长。日本最大的银行三菱日联金融集团(MUFG)周四表示，截至 明年3月份的12个月，该公司净利润预计将增长7.5%，至2万亿日元(合137亿美元)。瑞穗金融 ...
