April 13th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: Brent crude oil futures recorded strong gains in recent intraday trading, with prices rising and retesting the key psychological resistance level of $100.00 per barrel. This rally was supported by a positive signal from the Relative Strength Index (RSI) after reaching oversold levels. Currently, prices are also approaching the resistance level of the 50-day EMA; however, a corrective bearish trend still dominates in the short term, which may limit further gains in the near term.On April 13th, UBS Bank repurchased gold. This followed a significant reduction in its gold holdings due to the market downturn caused by the Iran war. The bank stated that it believes the long-term outlook for gold remains solid. UBS is gradually incorporating gold into its clients portfolios, having previously reduced its gold holdings from approximately 10% to 3%. Since the outbreak of the war, gold prices have fallen sharply due to concerns about higher interest rates and the impact of liquidity tightening. UBS plans to further expand its gold holdings, which have now risen to approximately 6% of its clients portfolios. The bank still expects gold prices to reach $6,000 per ounce by the end of the year, as structural demand—including central bank purchases, concerns about fiscal deficits, and geopolitical tensions—remains robust.On April 13, Malaysian maritime authorities seized two oil tankers and their crews suspected of illegally transferring diesel fuel.

The oil market is once again focusing on geopolitical issues, and oil prices have once again broken through the psychologically significant $100 per barrel mark. Previously, the failure of ceasefire negotiations to reach a lasting agreement prompted the United States to announce maritime restrictions on ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. The market reaction highlights a simple but powerful fact: the risks in the Strait of Hormuz are not theoretical, but structural and real.Jefferies upgraded Starbucks (SBUX.O) from "Underweight" to "Hold" and raised its price target from $86 to $92.

On Wednesday, the price of bitcoin (BTC) plummeted by 1.63 percent. BTC ended Tuesday at $20,165, a decrease of 0.04% from its opening price.

 

BTC rose to a high of $20,817 in response to the FOMC Statement, following a range-bound morning. BTC surpassed the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $20,686 before falling to an intraday low of $20,086. BTC went below the First and Second Major Support Levels (S1 and S2) at $20,327 and $20,154, respectively.

 

In accordance with forecasts, the Fed raised rates by 75 basis points on Wednesday. The FOMC Statement hinted at a likely policy move in December, lending credence to December Fed pivot wagers. The Rate Statement pushed BTC and ETH to their daily peaks.

 

However, Fed Chair Powell dashed prospects for a reversal, citing excessive inflation and the need to continue forward. Powell remarked that the "final level of interest rates will be higher than anticipated."

 

As a result, the NASDAQ Composite Index fell 3.36 percent, sending BTC and ETH into the negative.

 

Today, attention will be on US factory orders, jobless claims, and the ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI. We anticipate the PMI and its subcomponents to have the most effect.

 

Due to the sensitivity of BTC and ETH to US economic statistics and the FED, the correlation with the NASDAQ Composite Index remains intact. The NASDAQ 100 Mini was up 35 points this morning.
