Gold at $3,500: Overheated or Just Getting Started? Gold’s relentless rally to *$3,500/oz* has outpaced even the most bullish forecasts, raising questions about its sustainability and role in a potential recession. Here’s a breakdown of the drivers, risks, and whether gold remains the ultimate safe haven: --- 1. Why Gold Is Outpacing Forecasts - *Tariff-Driven Uncertainty*: President Trump’s aggressive tariffs (e.g., 34% on China, 46% on Vietnam) and retaliatory measures have amplified fears of stagflation (high inflation + low growth), driving investors toward gold as a hedge . - *Central Bank Demand*: China’s insurers are now allowed to allocate 1% of assets to gold, potentially adding **255 tonnes/year** in demand, equivalent to 25% of global central bank purchases . - *Fed Policy*: Des

Singapore Downgraded 2025 GDP Forecast to 0%-2% due to Tariff War and MAS Cut Pace of SGD’s Trade-Weighted Appreciation【CSOP Fixed Income Weekly】

【SRT】 Last week, SRT gained amidst the revived risk sentiment, though uncertainties linger. Gains were led by industrial, office and retail by subsector and MLT, FLT and MINT by individual REITs. UBS notes Singapore’s recession risks have eased. UBS favors defensive S-REITs with stable leases and long-term rental income visibility, which buffer economic shocks. $CSOP S-REITs INDEX ETF(SRT.SI)$ WTD Total Return: +4.94% 【MMF】 Last week, after US Treasuries stabilized after the past volatile weeks as the pace of tariff announcements slowed. Short-term risks to yields will probably be double-sided given that a few FOMC members emphasized inflation expectations as a key input to short-term policy direction.

Trump Pressures the Fed for an Emergency Rate Cut: Will U.S. Stocks Rebound This Week?

As Jerome Powell continues to stress uncertainties around the economy and inflation—firmly sticking to a “hawkish” stance against rapid rate cuts—President Trump has now “reached his limit,” openly questioning whether he holds the authority to “fire” the Federal Reserve Chair.Though actually removing Powell in practice would be quite difficult—and with Powell’s term set to expire next year, it·s debatable whether such a move would even be necessary—the increasing disconnect between presidential policy and Fed monetary policy has become stark. Against the backdrop of shifting tariff policies, unexpected headlines have started to hit the market with greater frequency. Given Trump’s characteristic unpredictability, it’s hardly unthinkable that he might impulsively announce Powell’s dismissal,

Friday’s Update: Big Moves Possible This Week

Caught a cold over the weekend, and after looking at the market, things played out pretty much as expected last Friday—so I just stayed in bed to recover on Monday.But I just pulled up Friday’s data, and wow, it really surprised me.For $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ , let’s check institutional sell calls as usual: strikes at $106$ and $107$, hedged by $116$ and $117$. So, the upper bound for this week is around $110$.But the lower bound is where things get scary. Take a look at where traders are opening bearish positions on NVIDIA—strikes at $20$, $30$, $55$, and some even at $10.If this were before, I’d have written this off as a joke—buying $1$-dollar puts is basically lighting money on fire. But if you review previous years’ opening records, you’ll see that un

FDA’s AI Revolution in Drug Testing: Biotech’s Next Frontier

The FDA’s landmark decision on April 11, 2025, to phase out animal testing in favor of AI-driven methodologies is rewriting the rules of pharmaceutical innovation. This seismic shift promises to slash drug development timelines by up to 30% and cut costs by billions, all while sidestepping ethical debates. By harnessing advanced algorithms to predict human responses, the FDA is paving the way for faster, cheaper, and more precise drug approvals—a game-changer for an industry under pressure to innovate. Biotech firms are already pivoting hard. Companies like Moderna and smaller AI-focused startups are pouring resources into machine learning platforms, aiming to capitalize on a projected 15% boost in drug success rates. Take Skyrizi’s maker, AbbVie: its Q1 2025 earnings (due April 25) could

$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  Tesla’s Q1 2025 earnings report has arrived—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. After a series of volatile months, including production challenges, pricing pressures, and intensifying global EV competition, all eyes were on Elon Musk and his team. Would this quarter mark a turnaround—or confirm the fears of a deeper decline? Revenue Miss, Margins Under Pressure Tesla reported slower-than-expected revenue growth and declining margins, largely driven by aggressive price cuts across key markets like China and Europe.

Gold just broke through the $3500 mark — and Wall Street is still playing catch-up. Analysts who were once calling for $2500 “stretch targets” are now scrambling to adjust their models, while investors are asking: how much higher can it go… and are price targets (PTs) falling behind reality? What was once considered a defensive hedge is now behaving like a momentum rocket. Gold is no longer the sleepy safe haven of the past — it's become a frontline performer, outpacing tech, crypto, and even AI stocks in year-to-date returns. So what’s driving this sudden surge, and is it too hot to handle? Why Gold Is Surging — and Why PTs Can’t Keep Up Global Uncertainty Is the Norm, Not the Exception Geopolitical risk has gone from background noise to front-page panic.

$NVIDIA(NVDA)$ The unthinkable has happened — Nvidia has dropped below $100. Just months ago, NVDA was the undisputed darling of Wall Street, riding the AI wave to dizzying heights. Fast forward to now, and the stock is down over 50% from its peak. Investors are rattled, analysts are split, and the retail crowd is torn between "back up the truck" and "wait for more blood." So what now? Is this a golden buying opportunity or a dangerous value trap? From AI Hype to AI Hangover? Let’s be honest — Nvidia’s meteoric rise was driven by massive expectations, not just performance. The company delivered strong earnings, yes.
