Bank of Japan policy board member Naoki Tamura: I expect interest rates to be raised every few months until a neutral level of about 2% is reached.Bank of Japan policy board member Naoki Tamura: I believe Japans neutral interest rate will be around 2%.The yield on Japans 30-year government bonds fell 2.5 basis points to 3.840%.Bank of Japan policy board member Naoki Tamura: It is important to push the Bank of Japans policy rate toward a neutral level in order to avoid being forced to raise interest rates sharply later.On June 25th, Futures Markets reported that market participants told reporters that the resurgence of inflationary pressures in the US and the Federal Reserves hawkish signals have prompted the market to reassess the path of monetary policy this year, becoming the core driver of the recent decline in gold and silver prices. Jinrui Futures stated that the Fed continued to emphasize in its meeting statement that inflation remains above the long-term target of 2%, while also raising its PCE and core PCE inflation forecasts for the year. The dot plot also shows an overall upward shift in the policy rate path. For precious metals, this means that the real interest rates of the US dollar and US Treasury bonds are likely to rise simultaneously, reducing the attractiveness of gold as a non-interest-bearing asset. Gold and silver prices will remain under pressure in the short term, as the negative factors have not yet been fully priced in. Under the baseline scenario, the market has already begun pricing in the possibility of one to two Fed rate hikes this year, with the first hike potentially occurring as early as September. If US CPI, PCE, employment costs, and inflation expectations continue to strengthen in the future, the market may further trade expectations of an earlier start to rate hikes and a higher peak in interest rates, which will continue to suppress gold and silver prices. The breach of support levels at $4,000/oz for gold and $60/oz for silver may further dampen market confidence in a medium- to long-term rise in gold and silver prices. However, if oil prices gradually decline and PCE and inflation expectations cool down, while the Federal Reserve re-signals a wait-and-see approach, the downward momentum in gold and silver prices may weaken.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Continue to Worry About Rates

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

The S&P 500 E-mini contract started overnight trading poorly and hasn't been making a lot of sense. Yet, the contract's high level of volatility persists, and as a result, downward pressure is beginning to build. It's important to note that the 200-Day EMA and the 50-Day EMA are located immediately below. Given that they are both rather flat, there may not actually be any momentum.


As it is slightly above the psychologically and structurally significant 4000 level, this may pave the way for a support level to develop in that approximate area. You must keep in mind that earnings season is now underway because it could cause the market to fluctuate. The moving averages and the psychologically significant 4000 level, if we were to break down below them, might drive the futures market and the index itself significantly lower.


It thus creates the chance of a decline down to the 3900 level, where we had experienced some buying pressure. Following that, there comes the 3800 level, which is considerably more significant and will get a lot of attention. When it comes to whether or not the market can save itself, we would be in that general area hanging on by a thread.


The previous two candlesticks have undoubtedly looked pretty bearish, and I think that may have some momentum built up in it. If the market were to flip around and bounce, then it may try to move towards the 4200 level. The minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which are released on Wednesday, will undoubtedly also be relevant. This ought to provide traders a good indication of what the Federal Reserve members discussed during the meeting and whether or not there is an overall hawkish mindset or if there are any ice cracks appearing. This will have a significant impact on the market.
