Macro Strategy - The core viewpoint indicates that the current geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and hawkish signals from major central banks during the "Super Central Bank Week" have led to a significant rise in long-term government bond yields, putting pressure on gold and silver prices. The stronger hawkish stance from the Bank of England has strengthened the British pound and euro, while the US dollar index has shown relative weakness, leading to a phenomenon where both the dollar index and gold prices have declined simultaneously. This reflects that gold pricing is influenced not only by US real interest rate expectations but also by global real interest rate expectations [1][36].
