Futures Commentary by Everbright Futures: 1. Expectations of a US-Iran ceasefire and peace talks emerged, leading to a strengthening of precious metals overnight. London spot gold rose steadily, returning to $4,500/ounce in early trading on Wednesday. COMEX gold futures closed up 1.19%, and SHFE gold rose 0.37%. The US government is seeking a one-month ceasefire for negotiations. While proposing a ceasefire, it is also accelerating troop buildup. As of press time, Iran has not responded, but on the evening of the 24th, Irans Bushehr nuclear power plant was attacked again by the US and Israel. A key turning point in geopolitical events has emerged, causing a sharp decline in crude oil prices and a rebound in gold prices. However, uncertainty remains in the US-Iran negotiations, leading to increased volatility in gold prices during the day. 2. The market continues to focus on the US-Iran conflict. The US president stated that US-Iran negotiations "may be quite close to reaching an agreement," and Iran agreed never to possess nuclear weapons. Reports indicate that the US intends to implement a one-month ceasefire and has proposed a 15-point peace plan. The expectation of a de-escalation in US-Iran relations has been a major factor in the recent market sentiment recovery, highlighting the markets sensitivity to geopolitical situations. However, the future of US-Iran negotiations and conflict remains uncertain, meaning gold prices may remain highly volatile. Conservative investors may continue to observe, while aggressive investors are advised to adopt a buy-on-dips strategy, especially after the rapid release of short-selling sentiment, which presents better buying opportunities. Silver, platinum, and palladium are currently fluctuating in tandem with gold, increasing the difficulty of trading. Gold plays a significant role as a "ballast" among precious metals; attention should be paid to when gold prices return to an upward trend, and investors should wait for the right opportunity to act.The White House announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) review board will continue operating for another 10 days, or until May 29, 2026, whichever is earlier, after submitting the required report to the President.A White House executive order extends the operating period of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) review board.SK Hynix: HBMs total shipments will remain stable this year.On March 25th, Moodys analyst Sunny Nguyen stated that the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) may have "not many reasons" to ease its hawkish monetary policy stance. She pointed out that Australias non-tradable inflation rate remains around 5%, rents have risen slightly, and the oil shock triggered by the Middle East conflict has not yet affected Marchs inflation data. Furthermore, she noted that the Australian Bureau of Statistics unusually explicitly stated that fuel prices had already fallen "before the Middle East conflict." "This wording is deliberate," Nguyen said. "The situation in March will be very different." She indicated that Australias overall inflation rate could surge to around 4.5%.
