💬 Let’s Chime In: Did you expect gold to rally on Fed pause? Share your thoughts on the “hawkish words, dovish moves” and gold’s next move! On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced it would keep the federal funds rate unchanged in the 3.5%-3.75% range, in line with market expectations. This marks the second time the Fed has hit the pause button after three consecutive rate cuts at the end of 2025. What truly sparked market interpretation was the simultaneous release of the interest rate dot plot — this quarterly summary of economic projections showed that the median forecast by Fed officials for the interest rate at the end of 2026 is 3.4%, meaning there will be at least one more 25-basis-point rate cut this year. Meanwhile, interest rate expectations for 2027 and 2028 have also continu

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ $XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Analysis: Gold remains generally biased towards an upward trend. The 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $4577 forms a key support level; short-term support lies around $4633. A decisive break below this level could open the door for a test of $4200. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a clear increase in selling momentum, potentially indicating further downside for gold. If gold closes below the 100-day moving average on the daily chart, watch for a test of $4500. A break below this level would target the February 2nd low of $4402, followed by $4200. Further downside would see the 200-day moving average at $4060/oz. Conversely, if gold

Hey gold investors! 🚨 Don’t be fooled by the recent drop in gold prices — the big run for gold stocks is just getting started. A rare divergence is playing out right now, and the smart money is already positioning for the next leg up. Let’s dive into why this could be the early stage of a massive gold stock bull market! $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$has closed lower for two straight weeks, yet safe-haven demand has not faded. A rare divergence is unfolding: gold prices are under pressure, but mining stocks are quietly building momentum. Some fund managers are stating plainly that the real move in gold stocks has not even started. Last week, gold prices fell nearly 3%, marking a second weekly loss. Although the metal barely held the

$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$ Gold Trading Analysis: Short-term focus on the 4967 double bottom support; a break below could lead to further declines. Gold's short-term trend has clearly weakened. The daily chart shows that gold prices briefly fell below the key psychological level of $5000 and are currently hovering around this level. Simultaneously, gold prices are trading below major short-term moving averages, and momentum indicators are showing signs of decline, indicating that short-term bears still dominate. The first important support level for gold prices is currently around $4967, which is also the area where Monday's intraday low w

Trump ultimately opted for the "Winning Strategy" we predicted to try and defuse the situation in Iran. While this somewhat delayed move briefly pushed oil prices down from $119 to below $80, the unresolved issue in the Strait of Hormuz has kept oil prices firm, preventing the situation from returning to an ideal state. As the Middle East narrative is likely to stretch into a significantly longer cycle, the risks of high oil prices transmitting into broader inflation will materialize. One thing is certain: the longer this drags on, the bigger the trouble for financial markets.​ From a technical standpoint, oil prices printed a massive Doji star last week, characterized by exceptionally long upper and lower shadows. Typically, after such a structure appears, the market requires time to dige

Hey everyone, let's dive into the fiery debate gripping Wall Street! Is the US stock market about to take a nosedive or soar to new heights? Two heavyweight strategists are throwing down the gauntlet, and their predictions couldn't be more different. Let's break down the bull vs. bear showdown! As mid-March unfolds, the battle between bulls and bears in the US stock market is intensifying. On one side, Mike Wilson, Chief Investment Officer at Morgan Stanley, warns that the S&P 500 could drop another 5% to 7% in the short term, stating the correction is far from over. On the other, Tom Lee, Co-Founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, is bullish, declaring a market rebound is imminent and the index could surge to 7300 later this year. This clash of titans has left investors scratching their

$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$$Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$On March 16th, in Asian trading, gold prices decisively broke below the key $5000 level, with spot gold in London hitting a low of $4967, confirming a short-term downtrend and continuing its correction. This breakout was driven by a confluence of negative factors, leading to a cautious market sentiment. London gold is likely to maintain its weak downward trend today. On the news front, stronger-than-expected US economic data significantly reduced expectations of a Fed rate cut, suggesting that high interest rates will persist for longer. The dollar and US Treasury yields strengthened in tandem, continuing to suppr

If you want to trade futures, then CFTC data is something you really shouldn’t ignore. The CFTC is the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which you can think of as the regulator of the U.S. futures market. Every week, it publishes large-trader positioning data that tells you which side the big money is on.​ So today, let’s go through the latest set of CFTC data.​ Before we begin, let me briefly explain what CFTC data actually is. The CFTC report tracks positions in futures contracts, and these are divided into reportable positions and non-reportable positions. Reportable positions are further split into commercial and non-commercial positions. You can think of commercial positions as those held by industrial capital, such as mines, smelters, manufacturers, and other business entiti

Hey gold bugs and long‑term investors — you need to see this forecast! 🚨 $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$$XAU/USD(XAUUSD.FOREX)$Gold is already flying, but top strategists are calling $6,000 soon and $10,000 long term. This isn’t hype — it’s backed by debt, geopolitics, and a collapsing trust in the system. Let’s break it down. As the closure of the Strait of Hormuz entered its 11th day, global energy markets have been roiled — but the real battle may not be in the Middle East. It’s in the U.S. Treasury market. Markets had expected geopolitical stress to push Treasury yields lower, yet the 10‑year U.S. yield climbed to 4.2%. Behind this unusual move lies a powerful lo

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1 $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$Global financial markets are experiencing unprecedented turmoil, and gold, as the traditional king of safe havens, has seen a rollercoaster ride amid this geopolitical storm. On Thursday (March 12), spot gold prices fell sharply by 1.88%, closing near $5079.25 per ounce, with futures prices also declining, indicating intense competition among multiple forces in the short term. However, looking at a longer timeframe, gold has surged from its lows at the beginning of the year to record highs, a remarkable increase. This seemingly contradictory performance precisely reflects the extremely complex macroeconomic and geopolitical environme

Wow, did you catch the precious metals rally Tuesday? Gold spiked past $5,200/oz and silver soared to nearly $90—all thanks to Middle East uncertainty and a weaker dollar. But is this just a short-term pop, or is the bull run still going? BlackRock’s got some key takes, let’s dive in! With the outlook for the Middle East conflict unclear and the U.S. dollar weakening, safe-haven funds continued to pour into the precious metals market on Tuesday. As of midday, New York gold futures surged $115.80 to $5,217.20 per ounce; silver futures jumped $5.087 to $89.59 per ounce. U.S. President Trump sent mixed signals, leaving the war’s direction highly uncertain—this uncertainty has kept gold prices elevated. $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$

Gold prices crashed below $5,100, but global gold ETFs still raked in $5.3B in February—ninth straight month of inflows! Do you see this pullback as a buying opportunity amid geopolitical risks and central bank buying, or will the strong dollar keep pressuring prices? Are you adding gold to your portfolio now, or waiting for more clarity on interest rates? Share your take on the gold market’s next move below! International gold prices saw a sharp pullback this week. Pressured by a strong U.S. dollar and rising expectations of interest rate hikes, spot gold plummeted 3% at one point to around $5,015 per ounce, marking the largest single-day decline in nearly a month. Despite the volatile price swings—even a steep drop from recent highs—investors’ enthusiasm for gold allocation has only grow

Last week, we were expecting the situation in the Middle East to stay within a relatively controllable range and, as a result, for financial markets to remain broadly stable. However, judging from last Friday’s and early this week’s surge in oil prices, even though there are still no clear signs that the war has formally widened, the risk of it spinning out of control is already on the table. If, at this critical juncture, Trump still cannot come up with a credible exit plan, both financial markets and geopolitics may be hit by a new tsunami. The impact of oil prices on the global financial system and on people’s daily lives via inflation is self-evident. Yet in just a little over a week, we’ve seen a 60% spike in prices, while the key Strait of Hormuz remains in a state of abnormal, semi‑

Hello everyone! Today i want to share some macro analysis with you! 1. $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ Gold prices have recently shown a somewhat volatile and weakening trend, especially against the backdrop of a sharp rise in oil prices, leading to a tug-of-war between bulls and bears in the gold market. The dramatic fluctuations in oil prices have also caused the US dollar and US Treasury yields to rise in tandem, becoming one of the main factors suppressing gold prices. Nevertheless, due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, demand for gold as a safe-haven asset remains, supporting some of the upward momentum in gold prices. Market focus is gradually shifting to oil price trends and the evolution of the Middle East situation, and gold pri

Global chaos is driving gold to new highs! China’s central bank just notched 16 straight months of gold buying, and physical demand remains strong even above $5,000/oz. Do you think gold will keep surging amid geopolitical risks, or is a bigger pullback coming? Are you adding gold to your portfolio as a safe haven, or waiting for lower prices? Share your thoughts on the gold rally below! $Gold - main 2604(GCmain)$ As geopolitical tensions rage and the global economic outlook darkens, gold’s safe-haven allure shines brighter than ever. The People’s Bank of China has demonstrated strategic foresight through concrete actions—in February, it increased its gold reserves for the 16th consecutive month, extending the current gold-buying cycle to new

Following the US-Israeli operation that eliminated a key Iranian figure, the original playbook was to install a pro-American leader within Iran — an approach designed to serve US interests while minimizing the impact on financial markets. Venezuela served as a successful example of this strategy. However, over the past week, it has become clear that the Iran situation has not unfolded according to Washington's script. The new Iranian leadership is likely to remain non-pro-American, and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz places Trump in a critically vulnerable position. If oil prices fail to retreat quickly ahead of the approaching midterm elections, the Republican Party could lose congressional seats, effectively crippling Trump's ability to govern in the second half of his term. Given t

Oil is approaching $110, the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ might hit 40 and futures are getting destroyed as people de-risk into a macro shock of inflation, geopolitics and slowing growth. Every bear account on FinTwit is having the weekend of their life but moments like this are exactly how markets transfer wealth from the impatient to the patient. This type of macro fear does not discriminate between the companies with real problems and the companies with generational tailwinds. It sells everything in the same motion and that is the OPPORTUNITY. So the question I’m asking myself heading into this week isn’t “how bad does it get?” It’s one question: did the AI demand thesis just break? And I’ve seen zero evidence of that.

Key Technical Levels: First Support: $5000 Second Support: $4950 Resistance: $5100 Strong Resistance: $5200 The 4-hour chart shows weakening short-term momentum, with the RSI indicator falling from overbought territory, suggesting the market may be entering a period of consolidation.

First, let me update you on my recent trading moves. I haven't been particularly active in equities lately; instead, I've maintained a light short position on the Euro and locked in some profits from a crude oil bull calendar spread (buying the near month and selling the deferred month three months out).

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.

The silver market staged a heart-stopping rollercoaster ride in 2026: amid extreme volatility, silver prices soared to an all-time high of $120 per ounce before plummeting sharply to the mid-$70 range. As a unique precious metal with both industrial and financial attributes, silver's performance is driven not only by industrial demand from sectors such as solar energy and electric vehicles but also by interest rates, inflation expectations and market sentiment. Compared with gold, silver's higher volatility makes it one of the most dynamic assets in the commodity market. Looking ahead to 2026-2030, persistent supply shortages and growing global demand are expected to drive a gradual climb in silver prices, potentially challenging the $145 mark.

BHP Billiton retained its top spot with an annual output of 1.5 million tonnes. The Australian mining giant’s success is largely attributed to Escondida, the world’s largest copper mine, which produced 1.24 million tonnes of copper in 2024 (BHP holds a 57.5% s
