🚀 Bitcoin Faces Liquidity Challenges Amid Economic Indicators Bitcoin may face liquidity challenges, according to Delphi Digital's analysis. According to PANews, February's PCE data indicated a weakening in U.S. consumer spending even before the impact of the Iran conflict. Income levels have contracted, and real spending has shown almost no growth. Subsequently, March's CPI recorded a 3.3% increase, with energy accounting for three-quarters of the rise. The U.S. Leading Economic Index (LEI) is declining, typically leading real yields by about six months. The last occurrence of such a scenario was in 2022, when tight monetary policy coincided with an energy shock, resulting in Bitcoin's correlation with real yields turning deeply negative. #Bitcoin#LiquidityChallenges#EconomicIndicators#PCE#CPI#ConsumerSpending#USEconomy#LEI#RealYields#MonetaryPolicy#EnergyShock#BTC

🚀 PRECIOUS METALS | Global Central Bank Gold Purchases Show Resilience, Citic Securities Reports Citic Securities has released a report indicating that the global trend of central banks purchasing gold remains structurally resilient. According to Jin10, the market may be overestimating the driving forces and impact mechanisms behind this trend. The report outlines several key points: 1) The proportion of non-standard channels and domestic storage in gold purchases is rising, reflecting the strengthened attribute of gold as a 'sovereign safe asset.' 2) The current wave of gold buying goes beyond conventional reserve management and should not be directly equated with de-dollarization. The primary logic for central banks holding gold remains crisis hedging and reserve diversification. 3) Recent disturbances, such as temporary reductions by central banks in Turkey and Russia due to fiscal pressures, are tactical and do not alter the global net buying pattern. 4) Central bank gold purchases are a long-term force elevating the gold price center, but their behavior of buying on dips means they play more of a supporting role. Variables like real interest rates have a more significant impact on gold prices. 5) The gap in gold reserve proportions between emerging market central banks and developed countries is substantial, indicating that the current cycle of central bank gold purchases is far from over. Citic Securities is optimistic about medium to long-term allocation opportunities but advises monitoring signals of weakened correlation between gold and risk assets in the short term as a key entry point for buying on dips. #PreciousMetals#Gold#CentralBank#GoldPurchases#SafeAsset#ReserveDiversification#EmergingMarkets#GoldPrice#Investment#FinancialMarkets

🚀 PRECIOUS METALS | U.S. Inflation and Fed Rate Cut Expectations Impact Gold Prices On April 13, Jin10 reported that a research note from CITIC Securities highlighted the significant rise in U.S. overall inflation for March, driven by soaring oil prices, while core inflation remained moderate. According to Jin10, CITIC Securities anticipates minimal risk of secondary inflation in the U.S. and suggests that April's CPI may continue to show elevated growth due to compensatory increases in rental inflation. If oil prices decline slowly, U.S. CPI could remain above 3% year-on-year for the rest of the year. CITIC Securities also forecasts a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve within the year, which may lead to a weaker U.S. dollar in the near term. This scenario could create liquidity-driven recovery opportunities for gold prices. Additionally, U.S. equities might benefit from improved risk appetite, while U.S. Treasury yields may lack sufficient downward momentum due to economic fundamentals. #PreciousMetals#USInflation#FedRateCut#GoldPrices#CITICSecurities#OilPrices#CoreInflation#CPI#USDollar#USEquities#USTreasuryYields
