Amillex Daily Market Review | Fed Rate Cut Expectations Lift Gold near Highs; Regional Security Plan Caps Crude Oil Gains

July 31, 2026 — Global markets exhibited a clear divergence during early Asian trading. Spot gold gathered fresh momentum following a recent consolidation, hovering around $4,110/oz. The yellow metal’s rebound was primarily driven by a weakening US Dollar amid rate-cut expectations, coupled with softer US inflation data. This combination expanded macro liquidity, allowing bullish sentiment to regain control.

Conversely, crude oil remained locked in a tug-of-war, with WTI hovering near $84/bbl. Traders are closely monitoring a multi-nation maritime security initiative led by Saudi Arabia alongside Turkey, Pakistan, Egypt, and 11 other nations to secure the Red Sea and adjacent waters. Markets expect that if this mechanism successfully restores maritime order, previous supply constraints and transport risk premiums will dissipate, placing a direct cap on oil’s upside due to potential oversupply.
