Global financial markets entered a period of heightened volatility as competing bullish and bearish macroeconomic forces continued to shape investor sentiment. During Thursday’s Asian session, spot gold consolidated around USD 4,448 per ounce. Although bulls launched a strong rally yesterday and briefly pushed prices close to the historic USD 4,500 psychological milestone, concerns over inflationary pressures stemming from external developments ultimately halted the advance.
Persistent supply chain disruptions and inflation risks have prompted markets to reassess the future path of monetary policy. Expectations that interest rates will remain elevated for a longer period have resurfaced, placing significant pressure on gold’s premium valuation. As a result, gold may enter a short term consolidation phase before establishing its next directional move.
Meanwhile, the tug of war in the energy market has also intensified, with crude oil trading near USD 95.44 per barrel. While firm rhetoric surrounding trade restrictions and potential blockades helped oil prices advance for three consecutive sessions, reports of localized ceasefires and the establishment of pilot zones have eased concerns over escalating risks, limiting further upside momentum. As institutional investors continue to rebalance portfolios cautiously, commodity markets appear to be moving away from pure safe haven driven enthusiasm. The direction of risk assets will likely depend on tangible developments in supply chains and shifts in inflation data.
