Spot gold surged past the $4,400\/oz mark intraday. Gold prices found solid support driven by technical buying, continuous central bank purchases globally, and safe-haven demand ahead of key inflation data releases. Meanwhile, the energy market witnessed severe volatility. Following a nearly 7% surge on Monday, WTI crude oil continued to trade near high levels at $82.10\/barrel early Tuesday. The ongoing geopolitical friction between the US and Iran has dimmed prospects for a agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, instantly igniting bullish sentiment over potential supply disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Looking ahead, market focus is strictly locked on the upcoming US core inflation data. If inflation cools down, expectations for Federal Reserve easing will further boost gold prices; conversely, resilient inflation may temporarily cap gold&#8217;s upside potential. For crude oil, the follow-up developments in diplomatic negotiations will serve as the core variable driving short-term price movements. If tensions in the Strait of Hormuz remain at a standstill, oil prices may embark on a new round of upward consolidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Asset Performance &amp; Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">1.
