As of today, the joint U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran have entered their third day. International futures markets, as expectations about the direction of the war have shifted, have gone through a clear sequence: sharp volatility, then a period of tight balance with slowing swings, and now a renewed pickup in volatility. A war-driven pullback in global risk appetite, together with a surge in safe-haven demand, is gradually turning into a broader wave of portfolio rebalancing.This round of fighting—where major world powers and a major Middle Eastern state are directly entering the battlefield—seems to have convinced many global analysts that the conflict may be moving beyond a localized event and toward a wider confrontation. Meanwhile, the U.S.–Israel side’s unsparing “decapitation” actions ag

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. Technical Analysis: $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ After a brief test of the $5,000 level, the technical outlook for gold prices still supports further gains. While the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has declined slightly, it remains in bullish territory, indicating that buyers are in control. However, in the short term, gold prices may consolidate in the $5,100-$5,250 range, awaiting a new catalyst. Conversely, if gold prices continue to fall below $5,000, the first support level is at $4,950, followed by the cycle low of $4,841 from February 17th. If gold prices weaken further, the next target will be the 50-day moving average at $4,810. The short-term strategy remains buy-ori

Do you think copper prices will keep soaring past $14,500/tonne? Which miner do you trust most to capitalize on the demand boom—BHP, Southern Copper, or the upstart CMOC? Share your thoughts below!

On Friday night, the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6–3 to overturn President Donald Trump’s broad-based tariff policy, ruling that it exceeded presidential authority. Because the decision had been widely anticipated, the market reaction was relatively muted, and U.S. equity indices even rebounded. However, Trump quickly voiced his dissatisfaction and announced a 15% global tariff (up from 10%) while launching a new investigation, stating, “We will be able to levy tariffs—more tariffs.” Since the additional tariff measures were announced over the weekend, Monday becomes the first real test of how sensitive the market is to this news. Overall, the tariff hike is a modest negative for U.S. equity indices, but for gold and silver it may serve as a catalyst for a renewed upswing. Will higher tariffs

Ahead of the holiday, I told everyone to temporarily consider taking profits on bullish positions in the U.S. equity market, and to look at building small long put option positions once the S&P moved below its 20-week moving average; alternatively, you could try buying VIX-long exposure on dips, using the VIX 20-day moving average as the stop level. From what we’ve seen so far, the VIX-long position should already be profitable： $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ $ProShares VIX Short-Term Futures ETF(VIXY)$ $ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF(UVXY)$ $Volatility Index - main 2603(VIXmain)$ My strategy remains un

Technical Analysis: Gold has firmly held above the key short-term support level of $5002.31, indicating a bullish near-term bias. It is poised to challenge the recent high of $5119.35 and the Fibonacci resistance at $5143.89. A break above $5143.89 could trigger an accelerated upward move. Should the $5002.31 support level be breached, gold faces downside risks. Key support levels below are $4760.87 and $4744.34, with the 50-day moving average at $4705.42 also serving as a crucial support. This level typically attracts medium-to-long-term buying interest!

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$prices surged on Friday (February 20) during the US trading session, supported by weaker-than-expected US Q4 GDP data and fueled by market uncertainty surrounding medium- to long-term trade policy following the US Supreme Court's rejection of the Trump administration's comprehensive tariff plan.

The US Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration's comprehensive global tariff measures under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act lacked legal authorization, rejecting this highly controversial use of presidential power. This ruling directly impacts the global trade la

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. Gold prices fell sharply during the Asian session on Tuesday (February 17), breaking below $4,900 and currently trading around $4,900 per ounce.

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ Technical Analysis: The $5000 level has become the first resistance zone for a short-term rebound. If the rebound is limited and fails to hold, the downtrend will be difficult to reverse. Further key resistance lies around $5020; only a recapture of this level can allow the market to resume its upward trend. Momentum indicators show the daily RSI has rapidly fallen below 50, indicating a significant weakening of bullish momentum. The MACD histogram is also contracting and showing signs of a death cross, reinforcing the short-term pullback signal. Increased trading volume suggests that this decline has a certain degree of emotional release rather t
