[Maersk Responds to US-Iran Ceasefire: Cautious Welcome, Emphasizing Security and Uncertainty] (1) Maersk welcomes the announced ceasefire agreement and related statements, which may make commercial navigation through the Strait of Hormuz possible again, although it may only be effective for a limited time at present. (2) Information and details available at present are still very limited, and Maersk is working urgently to obtain more information. (3) The ceasefire agreement may create shipping opportunities, but it does not yet provide full maritime certainty, and Maersk needs to understand all potential additional conditions. (4) The safety of seafarers, ships and cargo is always Maersk's top priority.

[US-Iran ceasefire agreement drives Dubai stock market to its biggest gain in over a decade] (1) Dubai’s benchmark stock index surged as much as 10% intraday after the US and Iran reached a two-week ceasefire agreement, marking its biggest gain since December 2014. Investors flocked to the real estate and banking sectors. (2) Abu Dhabi’s stock market also rose, with the ADX Composite Index rising as much as 3.5% intraday, its biggest single-day gain since March 2024. The conflict had previously caused severe market turmoil in the Gulf and threatened the region’s energy infrastructure. (3) The ceasefire, which reopened the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a halt to US-Israeli military operations, will help restore oil transport. Brent crude futures plunged 16%, and global stock markets generally rose. The attack on the UAE had previously raised concerns about the security of key energy facilities and shipping.

[US-Iran Ceasefire Agreement Reaches Gold Prices to Three-Week High Above $4800] 1. Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran hours before the deadline, easing market concerns about energy price-driven inflation. Gold prices climbed to a near three-week high on Wednesday, with spot gold rising as much as 3.22% to $4856.93. It has since retreated slightly to around $4820, a gain of approximately 2.4%. 2. Trump stated that Washington had received Iran's 10-point proposal as a viable basis for negotiations. Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that negotiations with the US would begin on Friday in Islamabad, but added that negotiations did not signify the end of the war. 3. ABC Refinery's global head of markets stated that market participants had initially considered the possibility of escalation extremely high, and the ceasefire announcement overturned this expectation, which is positive for gold prices. Independent precious metals traders pointed out that the 200-day moving average around $4920 and $5000 are key resistance levels. 4. Since the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq War on February 28, gold prices have still fallen by more than 9%. Investors should pay attention to the minutes of the Federal Reserve's March meeting, which will be released later today. Although gold is generally considered an inflation hedge, its appeal diminishes in a high-interest-rate environment.

[Reserve of New Zealand Keeps Rates Unchanged, But Warns of "Decisive" Rate Hike if Inflation Rises] 1. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) kept its policy rate unchanged at 2.25% for the second consecutive day on Wednesday to buy time to assess the impact of the Middle East war. However, the central bank hinted that it would take decisive action if inflation expectations escalate. The current inflation rate is 3.1%, already above the 1%-3% target range, and is expected to rise further. 2. The central bank stated that the committee decided to keep rates unchanged after weighing the costs of taking precautionary measures against unnecessarily suppressing the economic recovery. The meeting minutes showed that committee members discussed the risk of runaway inflation expectations through "preemptive measures." 3. RBNZ Governor Brehman stated that this meeting was still far from a rate hike, but policymakers did assess whether tightening policy ahead of schedule could limit the number of subsequent rate hikes. The market interpreted this as a hawkish signal, and the New Zealand dollar rose by 2% after the decision, reaching a high of 0.5849, just touching the 200-day moving average resistance, a new high since March 24. Prior to the interest rate decision, it had risen by more than 1% due to Trump's announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran. 4. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) expects the inflation rate for the June quarter to rise to 4.2%, a significant upward revision from its previous forecast. The RBNZ warned that if inflation cannot return to the 2% target midpoint in the medium term, "a decisive and timely increase in the official overnight cash rate will be necessary." 5. Economists expect the first rate hike may occur in July, with May still considered too early. The RBNZ stated that the magnitude of the inflation increase will depend on the evolution of the Middle East conflict and the extent of supply chain disruptions.

[Middle East Conflict Disrupts Supply Chains, Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturer WRP to Gradually Shut Down Operations] (1) Malaysian rubber glove manufacturer WRP Asia Pacific Sdn announced that due to severe disruptions to the global energy and petrochemical supply chains caused by the Middle East conflict, the company will gradually reduce its business operations starting this month (April) and will begin the closure process on April 15. (2) In a letter to customers, the company stated that it was forced to make this difficult decision due to "significant" increases in the cost of petrochemical-derived raw materials and chemicals, uncertain procurement schedules, and increased demands from suppliers for advance payments. (3) The US-led war is causing the biggest oil supply shock in decades, pushing up inflation and disrupting financial markets. Industries such as glove manufacturers that rely on imported nitrile latex (whose price is linked to the energy market) face severe risks.

[German Factory Orders Recover Before Iran War, But Energy Shock and Interest Rate Hike Risks Loom Over Outlook] (1) Before the energy price shock triggered by the Iran war, German manufacturing orders rose 0.9% month-on-month in February, a slight recovery from the sharp decline of 11.1% in January, slightly below the market expectation of 1.0%. Large orders remained weak. (2) The automotive, textile, and metals industries were the main drivers of order growth. Previously, thanks to the government's commitment of over $1 trillion in defense and infrastructure investment, orders surged at the end of 2025 (up 6.4% month-on-month in December), with fourth-quarter orders nearly 10% higher than the third quarter. (3) The closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the Iran war has again pushed up oil and gas prices, and German chemical companies (such as BASF) have begun to raise prices. Rising inflation may prompt the European Central Bank to raise interest rates, further dampening order demand. Investors expect the ECB to raise interest rates nearly three times this year.

The Reserve Bank of India: Raising the core inflation rate is not a change in policy-making methods.

Now, the enemy has no way out except to surrender to Iran. (CCTV News)

[UK house prices unexpectedly fell in March as Middle East conflict dampened buyer demand] (1) UK mortgage lender Halifax said house prices fell 0.5% month-on-month in March (compared to a 0.3% increase in February), while the market consensus was for a 0.1% increase. Year-on-year growth was 0.8%, lower than the expected 1.5%. (2) This result contrasts with a sharp rise in house prices recorded in March by rival Nationwide. Halifax said the recent slowdown in the housing market reflects the widespread uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict. (3) Concerns about rising energy prices have driven up inflation expectations, leading to higher mortgage rates and a decline in confidence in interest rate cuts, thus dampening the initial momentum that emerged in the market at the beginning of the year.

[Japanese Think Tank Warns: Soaring Costs and Labor Shortages Could Lead to a Surge in Bankruptcies After Summer] 1. Teikoku Research Bank (TDB), a private think tank, reported that the number of corporate bankruptcies in Japan will increase for the fourth consecutive year in fiscal year 2025, reaching 10,425, a 3.5% increase from the previous year, and exceeding 10,000 for the second consecutive year. Companies are facing the dual challenges of rising input costs and labor shortages. 2. TDB pointed out that even before the US-Israel attacks on Iran in late February, which escalated the Middle East conflict, companies were already under pressure due to high input and labor costs. With soaring oil prices, prices for fuels, chemical products, plastics, building materials, and fertilizers have risen across the board, exacerbating companies' concerns about rising costs. 3. The agency warned that Japan may experience a surge in bankruptcies starting around summer, with the number of bankruptcies expected to increase further in fiscal year 2026. This aligns with the Bank of Japan's regional branches' quarterly report on Monday, which warned that soaring oil prices and supply disruptions could damage the economy. 4. The Bank of Japan will weigh the downside risks to economic growth against inflationary pressures at its policy meeting on April 27-28, using this as a key factor in deciding whether to raise interest rates.

Westpac has moved forward its previous expectation of tightening by 25 basis points at each meeting, expecting it to begin in September.

The government finances military spending through loans. (2) Since the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine in 2022, Germany has launched military buildup, expecting defense spending to exceed 500 billion euros by 2029, with the goal of making the armed forces "war-ready". The German central bank warned that the deficit in 2028 may reach 4.8% of GDP, the highest since 1995, due to defense funding and support for Ukraine. The German economy is expected to decline in 2023-2024 and stagnate in 2025. (3) Chancellor Merz has pledged to build the German army into "Europe's strongest conventional army". Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned that "the last time German political elites worked to make the country 'the main military power in Europe,' it ended in tragedy for all of humanity."

[Technical Analysis: Gold is mildly bullish in the short term, but needs to break through the key resistance level of $4,920] 1. The 4-hour chart shows that gold prices are mildly bullish in the short term, having recovered the middle of the recent consolidation range. However, prices remain capped by the declining 200-period moving average (coinciding with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level), and the overall trend remains suppressed. 2. The MACD line has turned positive, and the histogram continues to expand, indicating that upward momentum is strengthening; the RSI is hovering in the middle of 60, maintaining a positive tone but not entering overbought territory, suggesting further upside potential. 3. Key resistance lies at $4,920 (coinciding with the 200-period moving average and the 61.8% retracement level). Caution is advised until a valid breakout occurs. After a breakout, the next target is the psychological level of $5,000, followed by the 78.6% retracement level at $5,141. 4. On the downside, near-term support is around $4760 (50% Fibonacci retracement level), and a break below this level could see a drop to $4605 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement level). Stronger support lies at $4411 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement level), and a break below this level would weaken the bullish bias.
