Spot gold entered full-blown mode, ripping through multiple psychological levels like a runaway train and surging to an intraday high of USD 5,600 per ounce, marking a new all-time extreme in history. Although prices later pulled back on profit-taking and are now repeatedly testing the USD 5,500 handle, the scale and intensity of safe-haven demand\u2014driven by extreme geopolitical&nbsp;uncertaint&nbsp;has reached near-euphoric levels.&nbsp;On the macro front, the Federal Reserve concluded its first policy meeting of the year in the early hours of today, opting to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.5%\u20133.75%, in line with expectations. While the Fed acknowledged a clear improvement in growth prospects and easing risks to inflation and employment, policymakers stressed that inflation&nbsp;remains&nbsp;elevated.&nbsp;Markets reacted calmly, viewing the statement as broadly unchanged in tone. Traders continue to firmly price in June as the&nbsp;most likely window&nbsp;for the first rate cut in the upcoming easing cycle.&nbsp;<\/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-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:20px\"><strong>Asset Performance &amp; Fundamental Breakdown<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>1.
