Editorial Comment

The decline in U.S. bond yields coincided with the overall weakening of the U.S. dollar, breaking the normal reaction after inflation data exceeded expectations, indicating that the market's short-term trading focus turned to the credit risks caused by rumors of AI-themed fund liquidations. For gold, the weakening of the U.S. dollar constitutes a supporting variable, but it is more necessary to observe whether credit risks evolve into liquidity shocks, which often complicates gold's hedging logic. The follow-up speech by the Federal Reserve Warsh at the IMF roundtable is a key window for judging changes in policy expectations.

Editorial Comment

Inflation data were strong but the dollar fell from an 18-month high, indicating that the market may have digested some tightening expectations in advance, and marginal changes in interest rate expectations became the key to affecting the exchange rate. This contrast prompts the need to pay attention to whether the linkage between the U.S. dollar and U.S. bond yields is weakening, and the corresponding adjustment of gold's sensitivity to real interest rates. Traders can combine subsequent policy signals to observe whether market expectations are further revised.

Editorial Comment

The overall US retail sales in September exceeded expectations, mainly driven by gasoline sales. After excluding gasoline and automobiles, growth slowed down significantly. The control group fell short of expectations, indicating that consumption momentum is not widespread. Traders need to pay attention to the disruption of this data to the Fed's policy expectations and whether the subsequent core retail component will continue to be weak, which may affect the short-term reaction of the U.S. dollar and gold.

Editorial Comment

The U.S. dollar index fell below 102.00, reflecting the short-term weakness of the U.S. dollar relative to major currencies. The fall of this psychological barrier may intensify the market's concern about the weakening momentum of the U.S. dollar. For the gold and foreign exchange markets, we need to pay attention to the recovery or continuation of the US dollar index near this position, as well as the linkage performance of non-US currencies and gold.

Editorial Comment

Concerns about U.S. inflation have not dissipated. If PPI and retail sales are hot during the day, it may intensify the upward risk of U.S. bond yields and the U.S. dollar, thereby affecting the valuation environment of gold and non-U.S. currencies. Traders need to pay attention to the degree to which the data consolidates expectations for a rate hike by the Federal Reserve in December, as well as the marginal change in the probability of a rate hike in October.

Editorial Comment

The market is more sensitive to core CPI month-on-month than the overall data, and the 0.4% threshold is clearly regarded as the risk aversion trigger line. Traders need to pay attention to the deviation of 0.2% between the actual value and the consensus, rather than just looking at the year-on-year data, because exceeding expectations may simultaneously suppress precious metals and push up the dollar. In line with or below expectations would provide short-term respite for risk assets, but the sustainability of this situation remains to be seen.

Editorial Comment

The U.S. dollar index is close to an 18-month high while the euro hits an 18-month low against the U.S. dollar. French borrowing costs have risen to highs since the European debt crisis, coupled with uncertainty about the leadership of the European Central Bank, indicating that the euro zone risk premium is the core source of pressure in the current foreign exchange market. The RSI of energy and sugar commodities is relatively high, in contrast to low RSI products such as the euro. Traders can use RSI, three-year range deviation and CFTC position framework to observe momentum differentiation and potential reversal signals.

Editorial Comment

The U.S. dollar index rose to an 18-month high and was accompanied by a lack of risk appetite in the crypto market, indicating that the current macro liquidity environment poses constraints on non-income assets and risk assets simultaneously. Gold traders need to pay attention to the suppressive effect of a stronger US dollar on gold prices, while the foreign exchange market needs to pay attention to whether the interest rate and risk aversion logic behind the high US dollar index continues.

Editorial Comment

The sharp correction in Asian stock markets combined with the strengthening of the US dollar as a safe haven reflects the market's repricing of high-valuation sectors and energy cost pressures. For gold traders, they need to pay attention to the tug-of-war between oil prices pushing up inflation expectations and tightening US dollar liquidity, and whether risk aversion can provide independent support for gold prices. In terms of foreign exchange, pay attention to the persistence of the US dollar index in risk aversion and its transmission to non-US currencies.

Editorial Comment

Vietnam's gold price has risen along with global gold prices, driven by a weakening U.S. dollar and a fall in U.S. bond yields, showing that the short-term gold market still uses the U.S. dollar and real interest rates as pricing anchors. Traders should pay attention to the marginal changes in subsequent U.S. economic data on the Fed's policy expectations, and whether Vietnam's local gold prices can continue to follow the fluctuations of international gold prices.
