After opening today, overseas gold prices rebounded somewhat, with a gain of approximately 0.45% as of this writing. Market sentiment remains volatile. 1. On the policy front, the remarks made by Federal Reserve Chair nominee Warsh at his Senate confirmation hearing last night exerted some downward pressure on gold prices. Warsh stated that he is "committed to ensuring that the implementation of monetary policy remains strictly independent," emphasizing that interest rate decisions "must be strictly independent of political considerations," and pointing out that Trump never asked him to commit to rate cuts. The market interpreted this statement as a hawkish signal, coupled with his call for a "new inflation framework and communication method" from the Fed, further strengthening market expectations that monetary policy is unlikely to shift to easing in the short term, thus putting pressure on gold. 2. On the geopolitical front, a dramatic reversal occurred. Earlier today, Trump publicly stated that he did not intend to extend the ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, which expires on the evening of the 22nd, and threatened to resume bombings against Iran after the ceasefire expires, triggering a rise in market risk aversion. However, hours later, Trump announced on social media that, at Pakistans request, he agreed to extend the ceasefire, pending Irans submission of a negotiating proposal. He also instructed the US military to continue its naval blockade of Iran and maintain a state of readiness. This fluctuating stance caused market sentiment to waver. 3. In summary, the obstruction of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz pushed up oil prices and inflation expectations, coupled with persistent expectations of Fed tightening, becoming the core factor suppressing gold prices. The US-Iran negotiations have been repeatedly uncertain, increasing short-term market divergence. Before the negotiations become clearer, traders are advised to control their positions and wait for confirmation of direction. However, given the current US stance of still favoring a negotiated solution, traders may consider buying on dips during periods of volatility.Market news: Japans finance minister will meet with the banking sector to discuss the threat posed by Anthropics Mythos model.On April 22, the highest 7-day annualized yield of Tencent Wealth Managements "Current Account +" was 1.3380%, and the lowest was 0.8440%.
