The easing of the China-US trade negotiations marks a turning point for agricultural products

Following the conclusion of the China-US summit in Busan, South Korea, the trade war between the two countries has effectively been put on pause, providing a "reassuring measure" for the global economy. The 24% retaliatory tariffs have been suspended for one year. This one-year suspension is significant because it coincides with the upcoming US midterm elections, and there remains considerable uncertainty whether the Republican Party, led by Trump, will maintain control over both chambers of Congress, which will directly impact the trajectory of US trade negotiations. From the current perspective, at least for one year the market's worries about China-US trade frictions can greatly ease. With the exception of precious metals, this is generally positive news for other asset classes.The succ

What’s Next for Commodities After a Hawkish Rate Cut?

Commodities, often seen as the global economy’s “barometer,” profoundly affect industrial production, trade flows, and investment decisions through their price fluctuations. Since the start of 2025, commodity markets have displayed notable divergence, influenced by shifting global liquidity conditions, changes in supply-demand dynamics, and escalating geopolitical tensions.Recently, gold prices experienced a dramatic reversal. Since mid to late August, driven by the Federal Reserve’s rate cuts, geopolitical disruptions, and sustained central bank gold purchases worldwide, international gold prices briefly surged above $4,000 per ounce. However, as trade tensions eased and profit-taking intensified among investors, gold prices faced downward pressure.Simultaneously, ongoing international tr

Awaiting the Direction of the Yen After China-U.S. Consensus

Over the weekend, the market received favorable news: China and the United States reached a basic consensus on addressing each other's concerns during their economic and trade consultations in Kuala Lumpur. This development led to varying degrees of gains and rebounds across most risk assets over the weekend. Given the previous experience of abrupt policy reversals and rhetoric from Trump, this outcome was not entirely unexpected. However, many assets had already sustained considerable damage from prior declines, and whether they can follow the U.S. stock market back to a gradual bull trend remains to be seen. In this context, the performance of the Japanese yen offers valuable reference points.Since the end of 2024, the yen has been oscillating near its lows without a definitive breakthro

Commodity Prices Poised for a Rally: Three Key Opportunities

As the end of the month approaches and the November 1 deadline for the US to impose significant tariffs on China looms, the US is increasingly eager to engage in trade talks with China. At this stage, continuing to raise tariffs would harm the US more than benefit it, thus giving China the upper hand in negotiations. Starting this week, information and outcomes from both sides' negotiations will gradually emerge. While a comprehensive deal is unlikely in one round, some progress is expected, which will help revive global trade.China-US Talks to Boost Commodity PricesThe tariff policies previously caused significant disruption in global trade and economics. As negotiations between these two major economies advance, market reactions to tariffs have become less reactive. Although tariff issue

Why Bottom-Fishing in Oil Market Requires Caution Right Now

Since late September, there has been a striking divergence in the commodity markets: gold has repeatedly hit new highs, while crude oil prices have steadily declined. This contrast reflects underlying differences in market fundamentals and investor sentiment. Notably, NYMEX WTI crude oil futures briefly fell below $57 per barrel, and ICE Brent futures fell below $60 per barrel, even as gold maintained a record-high trajectory. Understanding the reasons behind this “oil-gold” divergence is crucial for market participants.From a supply and demand perspective, global crude oil production is undeniably increasing. OPEC has abandoned previous voluntary production cuts in favor of market share gains, while the United States and other non-OPEC countries also continue to ramp up output. Moreover,

Gold's Surge Faces Volatility Test — Is the Short-Term Correction an Opportunity?

Last week, multiple Federal Reserve officials, including Powell, expressed their views, which were generally dovish. Powell mentioned considering ending the balance sheet reduction, further strengthening market expectations for an interest rate cut in October. This caused a temporary rebound in risk assets. However, later in the week, renewed problems in the US banking system emerged, leading to a decline in market risk appetite and a pullback in US stocks. This weighed on copper prices to some extent, followed by a profit-taking correction in gold.Market ReviewObservations from COMEX and SHFE Copper MarketsCOMEX copper prices fluctuated, seeking direction: dovish comments provided short-term support, but banking risks became a drag.

Silver Market Faces Downward Pressure After Single-Day Sharp Decline

Following a single-day sharp reversal and plunge in silver prices, the market may be entering a new downward phase. Both gold and silver, which had been rising continuously, exhibited a bearish engulfing pattern last Friday, with silver futures plunging nearly 6%. This may indicate that relatively strong assets like silver could soon face a catch-down correction along with the cryptocurrency market. Further deterioration in news flow could trigger a sustained downward trend.Silver has consistently been a key asset we previously recommended for attention. Unlike gold, silver does not possess a so-called safe-haven property. Historically, silver plays the role of a late-cycle catching-up asset. Once this last-to-ignite asset completes its upward movement, it often signals a broader trend cha

Have Gold and Silver Peaked Amid Wild Swings?

With the U.S. government still shut down and no sign of a deal, the standoff could break duration records and prolong risk sentiment, whose economic impact remains to be seen but is unlikely to fade quickly in the near term. Hopes that the Israel–Gaza conflict might cool were dashed by fresh airstrikes in Gaza over the weekend, underscoring that peace will not be achieved overnight and that safe-haven demand may be repeatedly rekindled, fueling large price swings driven by sentiment rather than trend change. In such an environment, countertrend trading requires extra caution because volatility in a sentiment-led market does not automatically mean the underlying trend has reversed.​Has precious metals topped?Drawing on years of futures-market experience, the piece notes that while every squ

Why the US Bull Market Will Persist: Three Key Reasons Behind Our Confidence

Recently, the US stock market has experienced significant volatility, primarily due to the government shutdown caused by the debt ceiling impasse and the new round of intensified US-China trade tensions initiated by the Trump administration. This led to a sharp decline in global risk assets. The Nasdaq index, dominated by technology stocks, once fell more than 3.5%, while market risk aversion notably increased, with both gold prices and US Treasury yields rising. On October 10, the volatility index (VIX), reflecting market panic, surged to 21.66, indicating a tense market atmosphere.From a valuation perspective, US stocks are generally overvalued, especially Nasdaq tech stocks, whose valuations have exceeded levels before the tariff hike in April this year.

“The Market Operator" Trump Acts Again: Will He Mess Up This Time?

The president who most enjoys disrupting markets, Trump, has made a move again this past weekend. As the saying goes, his actions were fierce and fast, and he seems to read the market’s rise and fall like a true master. After stirring turmoil—especially in the cryptocurrency space—with his provocative tweets, he then reassured the market by saying "it’s nothing," which helped trigger a rebound. After several rounds of toying with market sentiment, the question now is: can this tactic still work this time?We have previously emphasized two main factors likely to influence the market: one is Trump’s own health condition and the internal uncertainties it brings to the US; the other is the evolving relationship between China and the US. Of course, the trigger for the China-US relationship chang

October's U.S. Stock Market Downturn Pattern in Effect: Will the Adjustment Surpass April's?

The October time window has arrived again. During the National Day period, we already reminded everyone to pay attention to the special news that often occurs at this time, as it tends to trigger significant volatility in the U.S. stock market. Since the tariff war began, most of the top ten countries and regions trading with the U.S. have reached framework agreements with the United States (though actual implementation details remain unclear). However, the most critical issue—the China-U.S. tariff dispute—has had many positive signals but little substantive progress (such as China restarting purchases of U.S. agricultural products and tariffs on fentanyl). Therefore, when President Trump announced on Friday evening to double tariffs on Chinese goods, it was not too surprising, as the part

Stay Cautious: Watch More, Trade Less Until Market Mania Fades

Over the National Day holiday week, markets shifted again: silver, the core sentiment gauge, led gold to fresh highs, and Bitcoin reclaimed the top spot in crypto with a new all-time high. The market is effectively immune to anything that looks negative, so fighting the prevailing mania is inadvisable until it clearly fades. That said, once leading indicators flash a definitive reversal, it could still mark a major inflection worth close attention.Among assets, silver remains the representative bellwether tracked over the past month. Silver futures set a new high this week, but with two trading days left, the chart has printed a high-level doji. While not a definitive top, it cannot be dismissed outright. Silver making highs has often coincided with rapid risk-off turns across risk assets,

U.S. Government Shutdown Fuels Sharp Rise in Gold and Silver, Warning of Caution Ahead

The U.S. government has once again fallen into a shutdown, with no signs of resolution so far. Market expectations estimate the shutdown will last between 15 to 29 days. Although this is not the first shutdown the U.S. government has faced, the market remains relatively calm for now. However, the shutdown delays the release of many critical economic data, preventing the Federal Reserve from making informed policy decisions based on the latest economic indicators. This uncertainty clouds the path toward interest rate cuts, leaving the market to continue operating along the current trend.Impact of the Shutdown on U.S. Stock IndexesThe longer the shutdown lasts, the more significant the damage to the U.S. economy will be. This is almost unimaginable in China, given the much broader government

GOLD: Support Line Is Shining!

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ In 2025, amidst the turmoil in global financial markets, gold's allure as a traditional safe-haven asset has resurfaced. On Wednesday (October 8), gold prices not only broke through $4,000 per ounce for the first time, reaching a record high of $4,059.07 per ounce, but also drove silver prices to a record closing high. However, just as the rally was in full swing, a sudden turn in the geopolitical situation in the Middle East—a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel—quickly cooled market risk aversion, leading to a pullback in gold prices on Thursday (October 9). This warrants investor caution.Investors should monitor further news on the Middle East situation and shifts in risk aversion, wary of the possibility that this
