On April 11, Iranian First Vice President Aref posted on social media that if Iran negotiates with the "America First" US representatives in Islamabad, Pakistan, it is likely to reach an agreement beneficial to both sides and the world. However, if facing the "Israel First" US representatives, no agreement will be reached, and "we will inevitably continue to defend ourselves more resolutely than ever before, and the world will pay a greater price."Market news: Local authorities said that drone debris crashed at night in an area of an oil depot in Russias Krasnodar Krai, causing a fire that has been extinguished.April 11th - According to foreign media reports, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has decided to increase UK defense spending at a faster pace than currently planned in an effort to counter potential leadership challenges. The UKs defense spending has fallen behind allies such as Germany, and the government had previously set a target of increasing core defense spending to 3.5% of economic output by 2035. The decision to increase defense spending is essentially finalized, but specific details are still pending. The UK Treasury insists that any significant increase in defense spending must be achieved through tax increases or spending cuts.On April 11, the Japanese government approved an additional subsidy of 631.5 billion yen (approximately US$4 billion) to accelerate Rapiduss entry into the highly competitive field of artificial intelligence chip manufacturing. This funding aims to support Rapiduss business operations for IT company Fujitsu. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry stated on Saturday that the additional funding brings the total amount of government funding and investment in the startup to 2.6 trillion yen (approximately US$16.3 billion) in the current fiscal year (ending March 2027). The ministry said an external committee has inspected Rapiduss wafer fab in northern Hokkaido and approved its technological progress. The newly established chipmaker began developing wafers using 2-nanometer technology last year, aiming to mass-produce cutting-edge semiconductors by 2027 and help Japan reduce its reliance on industry leader TSMC.April 11th - A Bank of America research report indicates that the Eurozone is far more sensitive to oil prices than the United States. The study found that a 10% shock to oil prices would have an inflationary impact of approximately 40 basis points and a corresponding growth impact of over 10 basis points. Both of these effects are roughly twice that in the United States. We believe this result is due to the higher proportion of energy in Europes consumption basket and the regions status as a net importer of oil.

Gold Price Prediction: The XAU/USD pair aims to extend its climb above $1,920 as the Federal Reserve softens its policy tightening tempo

In the early Asian session on Monday, the gold price (XAU/USD) moved sideways following a mammoth rally to the important resistance of $1,920.00. After breaching the $1,900 round-level barrier for the first time in eight months, the precious metal attracted considerable buying interest. In addition, a decline in the US Dollar Index (DXY) boosted the Gold price.

 

The risk profile remains optimistic as the S&P500 has posted a four-day winning run and the Federal Reserve (Fed) is expected to reduce the pace of its current policy tightening in response to a decrease in December's inflation data. Despite the risk appetite trend, the yield on US Treasury bonds has increased to 3.50 percent and remains strong. Despite Friday's rise in U.S. Consumer Confidence numbers, the US Dollar Index stayed below 101.80.

 

The University of Michigan announced a Consumer Confidence reading of 64,6 as opposed to the anticipated 60.5. The street is aware that retail demand has slowed, thus the factor that has encouraged customers is the decrease in inflation caused by decreased gasoline costs.

 

Wells Fargo analysts observe that the respite on the inflation front and wage growth are boosting sentiment, but they caution that the still-sour buying conditions suggest the positive sentiments in this report may not transfer into a spending spree.

 

At $1,897.42, the gold price has surpassed the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (set from March 8's high of $2,070.54 to September 28's low of $1,614.85) Upward-sloping 10- and 20-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $1,881.49 and $1,856.40, respectively, contribute to the upward filters.
