Gold prices rebounded above $4,000 on Wednesday, supported by a weaker dollar and lower U.S. Treasury yields. ⑴ Gold prices rose more than 2% on Wednesday, regaining the $4,000 per ounce mark, supported by a weaker dollar and lower U.S. Treasury yields. ⑵ The Democratic Party's key victory in the U.S. midterm elections led the market to believe the election results could increase the likelihood of a political deadlock in Washington and limit the prospect of further fiscal expansion. ⑶ The dollar fell to a four-week low, and U.S. Treasury yields fell across the board, boosting the appeal of non-yielding gold. ⑷ Meanwhile, continued uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran negotiations continues to cloud the geopolitical outlook, with Washington and Tehran still far from reaching an agreement to end the conflict. ⑸ Investors will also be looking to Friday's U.S. non-farm payrolls report for further clues about the Fed's policy outlook. ⑹ According to CME's FedWatch tool, the market currently expects a 79% probability of a Fed rate hike in December.

[Standard Chartered: Even with a larger Democratic majority, a substantial policy breakthrough is unlikely] 1. Standard Chartered analysts Steve Englander and Dan Pan stated in a report that the key question for asset markets right now is what the US midterm election results mean for the next two years. 2. They emphasized that even with a majority, the Democrats are unlikely to achieve measures sufficient to overturn vetoes. Therefore, while there may be a lot of political noise, there won't be much concrete action with economic consequences. 3. The report also points out that the next key issue to watch is whether the budget negotiations in December 2026 and the debt ceiling negotiations at the end of 2027 will lead to a government shutdown and the threat of debt default.

El Niño refers to a large-scale and sustained abnormal warming of the sea surface in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, which often causes climate anomalies in many parts of the world. The World Meteorological Organization previously predicted that there was a near 100% chance that this El Niño event would continue until February 2027, and it could become one of the strongest El Niño events since at least 1950. A recent report from the Peruvian El Niño Research Center predicts that, influenced by this super El Niño, rainfall in northern, central coastal, and mountainous areas of central and western Peru is expected to be above normal in the coming months, with some areas potentially experiencing heavy rainfall.
