Markets Today: Gold Breaches $5100/oz, Yen Intervention Risks Grow, Dollar Slides. USD/JPY Test 100-Day MA
Gold soars past $5,100/oz, and other precious metals climb as global uncertainty drives safe-haven demand. The US Dollar slides to a four-month low on rumors of a US-Japan currency intervention, the first in 15 years, causing the Yen to surge. European and global stocks slip due to political tension, trade threats, and the upcoming Fed meeting. Oil prices jump on new Iran sanctions and US weather-related production halts.

Chart alert: Gold (XAU/USD) eyeing $5,000 and beyond as bullish acceleration intact
Gold (XAU/USD) is extending a powerful bullish acceleration, surging to fresh all-time highs near US$4,970 and setting its sights on the US$5,000–5,150 zone. Escalating US–NATO tensions and a growing “sell America” narrative are driving safe-haven demand, while strong technical momentum and a breakout from a medium-term uptrend keep the near-term bias firmly bullish.

Why silver prices in the US and China have diverged so sharply
Silver prices have recently diverged sharply, with Shanghai trading about USD 10 per ounce above the US. The gap reflects structural differences between paper-driven Western markets and physically focused Chinese markets, strong local demand in China, and limited arbitrage. This premium signals tightening conditions in the physical silver market.

Impact on US-EU tensions: Risk-off, US dollar subdued, heightened demand for Gold and Silver
Escalating US–EU tensions over Greenland and fresh US tariff threats against NATO allies have sparked a global risk-off move. Asian equities and US index futures slid, while the US dollar weakened as safe-haven flows rotated into precious metals. Gold and silver surged to new record highs, reinforcing their role as geopolitical hedges amid rising policy and trade uncertainty.

Chart Alert: Silver (XAG/USD) resumes accelerated uptrend, US$90.90 upside trigger to watch
Silver (XAG/USD) has resumed a powerful uptrend, surging to fresh record highs above US$91 after erasing its early-January correction. Supported by rising geopolitical risk, softer US inflation, and expectations of extended Fed rate cuts, bullish momentum remains intact. A sustained break above the US$90.90 resistance could trigger further upside toward the mid- to high-US$90s, with the long-term secular uptrend firmly in place.

Chart Alert: Gold (XAU/USD) on the brink of bullish acceleration, US$4,780 next
Gold (XAU/USD) has broken into price discovery after a shallow pullback, surging above its previous all-time high as bullish momentum accelerates. Supported by softer US labour data, easing inflation pressures, rising geopolitical risks, and capped US real yields, gold’s uptrend remains intact. Technically, a hold above US$4,512 keeps the path open toward US$4,720 and the US$4,780 Fibonacci extension zone.
