Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in long positions for the Japanese yen indicates a significant shift in market sentiment and economic dynamics, with the yen now favored as a safe-haven asset amidst rising uncertainty and concerns over the US dollar's status [1][3][12]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The net long positions for the yen reached a historical high of 179,000 contracts in April 2025, an increase of 58,000 contracts from the previous month [1]. - The yen has appreciated over 3% against the US dollar since April, reflecting a growing demand for safe-haven assets due to large-scale asset sell-offs in the US [3]. - Over 55% of surveyed investors expressed concerns about the dollar's status as a safe-haven currency, a significant increase from about one-third in April [3]. Group 2: Monetary Policy Implications - Expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve are anticipated to weaken the dollar's appeal, prompting a shift of funds towards yen assets [4]. - Concerns regarding the independence of the Federal Reserve could further diminish the dollar's safe-haven status, leading to increased allocations in yen [4]. Group 3: Domestic Economic Factors - Signs of economic recovery in Japan, with major stock indices rising over 20% since April, have bolstered investor confidence in Japanese assets [6]. - Market speculation about potential adjustments in the Bank of Japan's monetary policy is driving early investments in yen assets [6]. Group 4: Institutional Expectations - Major investment firms like Mizuho Securities and Nomura have revised their year-end forecasts for the USD/JPY exchange rate down to 133 and 137.50, respectively, reflecting a positive outlook on the yen [7]. - Warren Buffett's long-term commitment to Japanese investments, indicating a holding period of 50-60 years, enhances market confidence in yen assets [7]. Group 5: Bond Market Dynamics - Despite the bullish sentiment in the forex market, Japan's long-term bond yields have risen, with the 40-year bond yield reaching a record 3.35% [9]. - The yield on short-term bonds remains low, with the 1-year Japanese government bond yield at 0.554%, contrasting sharply with the US equivalent at 4.067% [9]. Group 6: Global Market Impact - The increase in yen long positions is expected to significantly alter global forex market dynamics, potentially leading to a stronger yen and pressure on other currencies [10]. - The appreciation of the yen could lower Japan's import costs, alleviating inflationary pressures, but may also challenge the competitiveness of Japanese exports [11]. Group 7: Investor Considerations - The rise in yen long positions presents both opportunities and challenges for investors, with potential gains from yen-denominated assets but also the need to navigate market uncertainties [12]. - Investors are advised to closely monitor economic conditions and policy changes in Japan and globally to adjust their portfolios accordingly [12]. Group 8: Future Outlook - The future trajectory of the yen remains uncertain, influenced by global economic conditions, geopolitical risks, and policy adjustments in major economies [13]. - Long-term yen stability will depend on Japan's ability to implement structural reforms and manage inflation effectively [13].

风险资产因中美贸易方面出现进展迹象而有所回暖。由于缺乏关税的利好消息，美国股指在周二大幅下跌，加上特 朗普评论美国不需要签署任何贸易协议的言论，进一步加剧了这种情况。然而，由于本周美国和中国官员将在瑞士 会面，世界两大经济体有机会摆脱目前互征三位数关税的局面（美国对中国征收145%的关税，中国对美国征收 125%的关税，部分例外）。因此，交易者将密切关注经济巨头之间的贸易紧张局势是否进一步缓和，如果降低关税 的前景明朗，风险资产将受益。 本周油市波动性上升。首先，受OPEC+决定下个月再次增产的影响，原油价格在周初大幅下跌。然而，地缘政治紧 张局势和稍微疲软的美元使油价从本周低点反弹。在接近55美元交易后，WTI（美国原油）合约逐步回升至60美元 水平。周三早上的最后交易价为59.27美元，阻力位在60美元，接下来是61.17美元，支撑位在57.37美元。短期内， 任何进一步贸易协议带来的乐观情绪可能从需求角度帮助油价，尽管OPEC+增产带来的供应增加可能限制上涨潜 力。 除了美国联邦公开市场委员会会议（FOMC），本周剩余时间公布的经济数据相对较少。周四将发布英国央行的利 率决策（预计降息25个基点），而中 ...

Group 1 - The recent fluctuations in gold prices are influenced by optimistic sentiments regarding international trade negotiations and the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates, which has led to a stronger US dollar and reduced demand for gold as a safe haven [2][3] - The Federal Reserve's Chairman Jerome Powell's hawkish remarks have contributed to market uncertainty, keeping concerns elevated and maintaining a high demand for gold as a hedge against inflation and economic downturns [3] - The market is currently experiencing a cooling of optimism regarding upcoming international trade talks, alongside rising risks of inflation and unemployment, which may support gold prices in the short term [3][4] Group 2 - Technical analysis indicates that gold has found support around the 3360 level, with potential for further upward movement if this support holds [4][6] - Current trading strategies suggest a focus on short-term fluctuations, with recommendations for both buying on dips and selling on rebounds within specified price ranges [6][7] - The ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly related to the Russia-Ukraine situation and Middle Eastern developments, are also factors that investors should monitor as they may impact gold prices [2][3]

Group 1: Gold Market Analysis - Gold prices fell over 1% during the U.S. trading session on May 7, reflecting a retreat from recent highs due to optimistic sentiment surrounding U.S.-China trade negotiations and expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's policy statement [2] - Market participants are awaiting the Federal Reserve's decision, which is expected to maintain interest rates unchanged; dovish signals from Powell could boost gold prices, while hawkish tones may exert downward pressure [2][3] - Despite the short-term pullback in gold prices, the broader outlook remains neutral to bullish, supported by potential rate cuts and geopolitical instability that could revive buying interest [2] Group 2: Technical Analysis of Gold - The daily chart indicates a potential adjustment phase following three consecutive bullish days, with a possibility of a significant decline below 3300 if a bearish engulfing pattern occurs [3] - Short-term support is identified at 3355; if this level holds, there may be opportunities to go long, targeting 3400, with a further potential rise to 3430 if conditions allow [5] - The current trading range is between 3400 and 3360, with a focus on the 3360 support level; a break below this could indicate a shift in short-term trend [5] Group 3: Oil Market Analysis - Brent crude oil prices rebounded to $63 per barrel, while WTI approached $60, reflecting over a 3% increase due to easing trade concerns and optimistic global economic recovery expectations [6] - The rise in oil prices is attributed to a combination of improved trade sentiment and declining U.S. inventory levels, with technical indicators suggesting a bullish short-term outlook [6] - Long-term stability in the global energy market relies on supply-demand balance and economic recovery rather than isolated events; a breakthrough above $62 could signal a new upward trend [6] Group 4: Technical Analysis of Oil - The mid-term trend for oil prices is downward, with potential further declines towards the 50 level, while short-term movements show a rebound towards 60 [7] - The MACD indicator suggests that bullish momentum is present, although the strength of this momentum is lacking; the expectation is for continued upward movement in the short term [7] - Today's trading strategy recommends focusing on buying on dips while considering selling on rebounds, with key resistance at 59.7-60.2 and support at 56.5-56.0 [7]

周三，国际黄金市场在连续两日强势反弹后迎来回调，现货黄金亚盘时段下跌1%，失守3400美元/盎司关口，盘中最低触及3385美元，单日最大跌幅达 1.6%。此次回调终结了黄金自月初以来近6%的涨势，而此前支撑金价的主要动力——全球贸易不确定性引发的避险需求，正随着关键外交事件临近而显著 降温。 贸易谈判重启主导短期情绪，黄金避险溢价遭压缩 与贸易谈判形成鲜明对比的是，南亚次大陆的地缘紧张局势正持续发酵。巴基斯坦军方证实，其空军于本周早些时候击落五架印度战机，并俘虏部分印度士 兵，以回应印度此前发动的空袭行动。这一冲突升级通常被视为黄金的"天然利好"，但市场反应却相对克制。 ETO Markets地缘政治风险模型显示，当前黄金市场的避险需求中，约60%与贸易不确定性挂钩，而地缘冲突的权重已降至30%以下。分析认为，贸易谈判 的短期优先级高于局部冲突，导致黄金多头在两者间选择"优先离场"。不过，若南亚冲突进一步扩散，或可能成为金价反弹的"催化剂"。 技术面释放调整信号，黄金或面临阶段性整理 从技术面来看，黄金日线图已呈现明显的"超买修正"特征。RSI指标自70上方快速回落至58附近，MACD红柱持续缩短且快慢线接近 ...
