October 12, 2026 — In Monday’s early Asian session, global commodity markets presented a divergent trend amid the dual pressures of macroeconomic policy expectations and supply-side risks. Spot gold temporarily maintained a narrow range-bound pattern near $4,186.42/oz. Driven by strong dip-buying, gold had previously surged to a one-week high of $4,207.57/oz last Friday. Despite this phased technical rebound, the Federal Reserve’s policy trajectory remains a sword of Damocles hanging over precious metals. Market traders are closely evaluating the likelihood of further rate hikes by the Fed, as the implicit pressure of a high-interest-rate environment on yield-less gold has not been fully dissipated.

In contrast to the cautious wait-and-see attitude in precious metals, the crude oil market demonstrated strong resilience under a confluence of favorable supply-side factors, with WTI crude rising in volatile trading to around $92.37/bbl. On one hand, Hurricane Isaias approached the northern Gulf of Mexico, forcing energy companies to urgently shut down over 70% of offshore U.S. crude production; the severe, short-term extreme weather shock significantly boosted bullish market sentiment. On the other hand, geopolitical variables in the Middle East persist: although the U.S. has accepted some of Iran’s conditions regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, it remains unclear whether a compromise can be reached on the remaining critical terms. The geopolitical risk premium, combined with supply tightness expectations, provided solid support for oil prices.

자산 성과 및 기본적 분석

1. 미국 주식 시장

지수 성과

• 다우존스 산업평균지수(DJI): Closed at approximately 51,660 points, up over 420 points or 0.83% on the day. It was the top performer among the three major indices, signaling a rotation of capital into defensive, value-oriented blue-chip sectors with predictable cash flows amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
• S&P 500 지수(SP500): Closed at approximately 7,836 points, edging up 0.18%. The index traded within a narrow band near historical highs as the market digested revived rate-hike expectations driven by recent robust economic data.
• Nasdaq Composite Index (NDQ / NASDAQ): The Nasdaq 100 closed at approximately 30,883 points (based on non-full-session data corresponding to SPX^D, with the front-month contract near 31,016 points). Its intraday performance was relatively subdued, reflecting discount rate pressures faced by high-valuation growth stocks under expectations of a “higher-for-longer” interest rate path.
• CBOE Volatility Index (VIX): Reported at approximately 14.84, down -3.70%. Despite the increase in macro variables, the VIX fell below 15, indicating that overall market sentiment has not slipped into panic, with market action reflecting structural rotation between sectors instead.

주요 주식 종목

• 아마존(AMZN): Was the standout performer, trading at $262.43 with a sharp gain of 3.29%, likely tied to market optimism surrounding its cloud business or Prime Day metrics.
• 테슬라(TSLA): Traded at $382.70, rising 2.05% to maintain its strong footing.
• Apple (AAPL) & Intel (INTC): Fell -1.11% and -2.22% respectively, weighing on tech index performance.

2. 외환 시장

• 미국 달러 지수(DXY): Currently trading near 102.16, down slightly by -0.07% on the day. Despite the minor daily decline, the U.S. dollar firmly held above the 102 mark. The market is actively repricing the Fed’s policy path, with recent strong non-farm payroll and inflation data prompting traders to scale back bets on aggressive rate cuts, keeping the dollar relatively strong against major peers.
• 유로/달러: Trading near 1.1210, up a slight 0.11%. The euro showed some inclination to bounce amid greenback softness, but weak fundamentals in the Eurozone and expectations that the ECB may cut rates ahead of the Fed capped its upside.
• USD/JPY: Trading around 158.15, down slightly by -0.08%. The pair fluctuated around the 158 level. As the U.S.–Japan yield spread remains wide, yen carry trades remain active, keeping depreciation pressure heavy on the yen.
• GBP/USD: Trading near 1.3244, up 0.15%. It performed relatively strong among European currencies, mainly supported by market expectations that the Bank of England will maintain a comparatively tight policy stance.

3. 귀금속 및 원자재

귀금속

• Spot Gold (XAUUSD / GOLD): Gold prices remained firmly elevated in volatile trading, quoted at around $4,204.7 / $4,204.2, up 0.24% on the day. After breaking through the historic $4,200 mark, gold is currently in a high-level consolidation phase. This reflects a market seeking balance between long-term inflation concerns and safe-haven demand (potentially tied to Middle East or Russia-Ukraine geopolitical dynamics).
• 은 현물 (은): Quoted at around $61.20, up 0.71% on the day. Silver outperformed gold by pushing past the $61 threshold, indicating that price gains are being driven not only by safe-haven inflows but also by industrial demand expectations.

상품

• WTI Crude Oil (XTIUSD / USOIL): Currently quoted at around $91.25 / $90.77, experiencing a notable pull back of approximately -1.5%. Crude oil retreated from recent highs, likely weighed down by global economic slowdown concerns and rising U.S. output, signaling that resistance above $90 remains strong.

4. 암호화 자산 및 거시 경제 동향

• 비트코인(BTCUSD): Last quoted at approximately $83,691, up a minor 0.01% on the day. After challenging the $84,000 level, Bitcoin faced technical pullback pressure. Under the current “higher-for-longer” macroeconomic backdrop, liquidity across risk assets remains constrained, limiting upward momentum for BTC.
• 이더리움(ETHUSD): Quoted at approximately $2,534.81, up 0.01%. Ethereum showed stability around the critical $2,500 pivot level, but its performance continues to significantly lag behind BTC and precious metals. This underscores that in a market driven by macro risk aversion, capital favors hard assets with stronger liquidity and defensive attributes (such as Gold and BTC).
