Markets Today: Safe Havens Benefit on Trump-Fed Feud, Silver Gains 5% as Gold Breaches $4600/oz. What Comes Next?

Conversely, safe-haven assets are surging, with gold breaking $4,600/oz and silver jumping over 5% to a new all-time high. Markets are focused on developments in this spat for near-term direction.

Why venezuela’s political transition has left oil markets largely unmoved
Oil markets have largely ignored Venezuela’s political transition, as structural constraints prevent any rapid increase in supply. Production capacity is limited, infrastructure is degraded, and investment economics remain unattractive at current prices. While Venezuela’s vast reserves may matter in the 2030s if prices rise and politics stabilize, they pose little risk to global oil balances in the near term.

Chart Alert: Silver (XAG/USD) intraday rally is fast approaching key resistance
Silver (XAG/USD) has staged a sharp intraday rebound after a steep sell-off, but technical signals suggest the rally may be corrective rather than the start of a new uptrend. With prices nearing the key US$79.86 resistance ahead of US non-farm payrolls, failure to break higher could trigger another down leg toward US$74 and US$70 in the first step.

When the radar goes dark: Navigating the market after the COT report delay
The 43-day COT report delay led to a data vacuum, allowing "managed money" to build crowded, unseen positions. The eventual backfilled data caused a "positioning shock" in markets like soybeans, triggering sharp reversals. This event highlights the major risk of market opacity and the potential for a "volatility explosion" when speculative sentiment data is unavailable.

Gold (XAU/USD) Slips 1.2% Before 50-Day MA Provides Support. Acceptance Above $4500/oz Remains Key
Gold (XAU/USD) price dipped 1.2% before finding support at the 50-day MA ($4419/oz), but acceptance above $4500/oz is key. Geopolitical risks (US/Venezuela/Russia tensions, Greenland acquisition talks) and softer US employment data (job openings, ADP) are underpinning the metal. Investors now focus on Friday's NFP data, which is set to be the next catalyst. Technical support is strong, but a strong NFP could threaten $4400/oz.

Markets Today: Euro Area Inflation Cools, Silver Peaks Above $80/oz, Gold Retreats Ahead of Key US Data Releases
Euro Area inflation cools to 2.0%, hitting the ECB target, but German retail sales decline unexpectedly. Asia's stock rally stalls amid profit-taking and rising China-Japan tensions over a dual-use export ban. European stocks are steady. Gold and other precious metals fall as the US dollar holds firm. All eyes are now on US jobs data (JOLTS/ADP), which is forecast to be weak and could impact the dollar.

Chart Alert: Gold (XAU/USD) is losing bullish momentum below US$4,500, bearish reversal next
Gold (XAU/USD) is showing signs of a short-term bearish reversal as prices struggle to break above the critical US$4,485–4,500 resistance zone. Bearish RSI divergence and a completed Fibonacci retracement suggest the recent rebound may be a countertrend move. A break below US$4,430 could trigger deeper downside toward US$4,333–4,243, while only a clear move above US$4,500 would restore bullish control.
