Amillex Daily Market Commentary | Fed Decision Meets Inflation Uncertainty, Gold Holding Firm Around the 5000 Level

TRÊN 18 March 2026, global financial markets are sitting right in the middle of a complex macro environment. Concerns over energy supply triggered by specific geopolitical security developments have continued to support safe-haven demand, keeping gold prices well supported. During early Asian trading, spot gold moved within a narrow range and held above the key USD 5000.72/oz mức độ.

Although risk premium remains elevated, the market is also facing bearish pressure from renewed inflation concerns. Slight movements in US Treasury yields together with a softer US Dollar Index are shaping a mixed structure for gold around the USD 5000 psychological level.

At the same time, energy market volatility has intensified. US crude oil climbed sharply to USD 95.22 per barrel as supply concerns worsened, reinforcing worries about cost-push inflation across major economies.
