On July 8, 2026, global financial markets in the early Asian session were once again caught in a tense pattern dominated by external uncertainties and monetary policy outlooks. As regional tensions escalated and energy supply concerns intensified, US crude oil surged over 5% intraday, returning to near $72.45\/barrel. However, capital did not fully translate into a unilateral breakthrough for gold prices; spot gold fluctuated within a narrow range around $4,105\/oz in early trading, facing a severe test at the $4,100 round-number mark. The rapid rise in energy prices reignited market concerns over secondary inflation, which in turn boosted expectations of interest rates staying higher for longer or even further tightening. Consequently, non-yielding gold endured a tug-of-war between safe-haven demand and rising yields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, market pricing power is firmly locked onto the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s June monetary policy meeting to be released this week. Under the Fed’s decision-making framework, the market urgently needs to gauge the officials’ latest balancing act between “supply chain inflation risks” and “labor market cooling” from the minutes. If the minutes deliver hawkish interest rate guidance, gold may face the risk of a short-term breakdown seeking lower support. Conversely, if policy stance leans toward data dependency and wait-and-see, buying interest after bottom-building could still leverage the sentiment to drive a phase-based rebound in gold prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
