🚀 PRECIOUS METALS | Gold Prices Drop 2% Following U.S. Naval Blockade Order
Gold prices fell by 2% to approximately $4,650 per ounce after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. According to Jin10, this decision came after peace talks between the U.S. and Iran failed over the weekend in Pakistan, unable to convert a fragile ceasefire into lasting peace following six weeks of conflict in the Middle East. The surge in energy prices has heightened inflation risks, increasing the likelihood that central banks may delay rate cuts or even raise rates. This development poses a bearish factor for non-yielding gold, which typically benefits when borrowing costs are lower.

🚀 PRECIOUS METALS | Gold Prices Decline Amid Ongoing Inflation Worries
Gold prices have experienced a slight decline as concerns over persistent inflation continue to influence market sentiment. Wall Street Journal (Markets) posted on X that the precious metal's value is being affected by ongoing fears of inflation, which remain a significant factor for investors. The market is closely monitoring economic indicators and central bank policies that could impact inflation rates. As these concerns persist, gold's appeal as a hedge against inflation is being tested, leading to fluctuations in its price. Investors are advised to stay informed about economic developments that may affect the precious metals market.

🚀 PRECIOUS METALS | Swiss Bank Reacquires Gold Amid Market Recovery
Swiss Bank has resumed purchasing gold after previously reducing its holdings due to market downturns triggered by the Iran war. According to Jin10, the bank had significantly cut its gold holdings from about 10% to 3% of its portfolio. Despite the challenges, Swiss Bank maintains a positive long-term outlook for gold and is gradually reintegrating it into client investment portfolios. Since the onset of the conflict, gold prices have dropped sharply due to concerns over higher interest rates and liquidity constraints. The bank's gold holdings have now increased to approximately 6% of its portfolio. Swiss Bank anticipates that gold prices will rise to $6,000 per ounce by the end of this year, driven by structural demand factors such as central bank purchases, fiscal deficit concerns, and geopolitical tensions.

🚀 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.
