With the Feds decision now finalized, overnight London spot precious metals surged before quickly retreating, with intraday losses exceeding 2%. Warshs debut was more hawkish than expected, which is bearish for gold in terms of outcome. However, given that this was already priced in, the short-term bearish impact may not be sustained. But from the perspective of interest rate hike expectations, the bearish effect may be more medium-term. Furthermore, with the signing of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, market attention may shift to the Strait of Hormuz navigation issue and oil prices, subsequently predicting interest rate trends. Overall, gold may continue to fluctuate at low levels. 2. Overnight, the market focused on the Federal Reserves interest rate meeting. The results showed that the Fed, in line with market expectations, kept interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive meeting. The decision received unanimous support from FOMC voting members for the first time in nine months. However, Warshs debut as FOMC chair indicated that the Fed maintained its hawkish stance. The dot plot showed that half of the voting members believed there should be one rate hike this year. Additionally, the statement removed interest rate guidance, stated its commitment to price stability, lowered its GDP growth and unemployment rate forecasts for this year, and raised its PCE and core PCE inflation forecasts to 3.6% and 3.3%, respectively. 3. On the geopolitical front, US officials stated that the US and Iran have remotely signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the war and opening the Strait of Hormuz, and the agreement is now in effect.
