【Short-term trading advice for US crude oil: range-bound trading, sell on rallies and buy on dips】 (1) Reasons for analysis: International oil prices are affected by the phased easing of US-Iran negotiations, the geopolitical risk premium has fallen, and the market has begun to factor in the expectation of potential supply recovery. At the same time, the recovery of global demand is still relatively mild, the inventory level has not decreased significantly, and the supply and demand structure lacks strong drivers. The US dollar is relatively stable, which also limits the rebound space of oil prices. In the short term, bullish and bearish factors are intertwined. After WTI broke through the key moving average, the momentum weakened. If the $60 mark is breached, it may trigger further technical selling pressure. Therefore, the overall trend is to trade in a range-bound and weak manner. (2) Key focus: geopolitical situation, trade sentiment, inventory data, US dollar index (3) Resistance: 62.60, 63.00, 63.50 (4) Support: 62.00, 61.60, 61.30

【Short-term trading advice for spot gold: high-level fluctuations, sell short on rallies, buy on dips】 (1) Reasons for analysis: Gold has fallen from its high level, mainly due to low liquidity and the weakening of safe-haven demand caused by the easing of geopolitical tensions. However, US inflation has fallen moderately, and the market's expectation for the Fed to cut interest rates this year has increased. The decline in real interest rates provides medium-term support for gold prices. Although the US dollar has rebounded, it lacks a sustained strong foundation. Gold is currently in a high-level consolidation phase. Short-term fluctuations are increased due to technical corrections. As long as it does not fall below key support, the medium-term bullish structure is still intact. (2) Key focus: US Treasury yields, US dollar index, geopolitical situation, Fed meeting minutes (3) Resistance: 4900, 4930, 4980 (4) Support: 4850, 4820, 4800;

[Peruvian President Jerome Hari Impeached After Four Months in Office] Peru's Congress voted 75-24 on Tuesday to impeach President José Hari, the 39-year-old leader who had been in office for only four months and became Peru's seventh head of state since 2018. The impeachment was triggered by surveillance footage broadcast by local media showing Hari, wearing a hoodie, having dinner with a businessman involved in government contracts on December 26, 2025. Hari has also drawn attention for hiring several young women who visited the presidential palace at night, but he denies any wrongdoing, stating, "I have not committed any crimes." US Ambassador Bernie Navarro commented that "frequent changes of presidents are abnormal not only in the United States but also in the world." Analysts worry that frequent impeachments by Congress will damage Peru's democracy and ultimately impact its mineral-export-based economy. To date, Peru's economy has remained resilient, with GDP growing by 3.4% last year and inflation falling to a near-decade low of 1.5%. The next president to succeed her will be the newly elected leader of Congress on Wednesday, serving the remainder of his term until July. Herri's impeachment comes just two months before the presidential election, with former Lima mayor Rafael López Aliaga currently leading in the polls with 12% support.
