[Short-term focus on inflation data and geopolitical risks; gold remains range-bound between $3950 and $4200] 1. Gold continued its decline this week, falling over 2%. The fragility of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, stronger oil prices, and a stronger dollar exacerbated inflation concerns, driving the market to price in the Fed's "higher and longer" policy. The 10-year US Treasury yield rose to its highest level since April 2025, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing gold and making gold prices vulnerable. 2. A weaker-than-expected US CPI report briefly boosted gold, easing expectations of interest rate hikes and lowering yields and the dollar, but the rebound quickly faded after Fed Chairman Warsh reiterated his commitment to restoring price stability. This indicates that policy decisions will not rely on a single inflation figure. The market is closely watching upcoming US PPI, retail sales, and labor market data for further guidance on interest rate expectations. 3. From a technical perspective, gold remains within the $3950-$4200 consolidation range. Immediate resistance is at $4100-$4120, followed by resistance at $4220. A decisive break above $4220 could open the way to $4320-$4350; failure to hold $4000 could trigger a correction to $3950, followed by $3800. 4. If US economic data continues to weaken, the Federal Reserve may shift to a more dovish stance, in which case gold prices could break through $4200 and test $4350. If the escalating US-Iran conflict pushes up oil prices, triggering "stagflation" pricing—that is, rising inflation expectations coupled with increased economic concerns—gold prices could break through the key resistance zone of $4320-$4350 due to safe-haven demand and inflation hedging demand. However, if the Federal Reserve is forced to raise interest rates earlier than expected due to oil price pressures, it could limit the upside potential of gold prices.

[US-Iran Conflict Escalates, Oil Prices Hold Near One-Month High] 1. On Wednesday during Asian trading hours, international oil prices held near the near one-month high reached overnight. WTI crude was trading around $79.79 per barrel, and Brent crude was trading around $85.46 per barrel. US President Trump reimposed a naval blockade on all Iranian ports, while Iran retaliated with strikes against US facilities in the Middle East, escalating tensions and providing support for oil prices. 2. In a Fox News interview on Tuesday evening, Trump stated, "I'll leave the energy targets for last, but ultimately we'll definitely hit the energy targets." This statement further exacerbated market concerns about energy supply disruptions. 3. The escalation of the conflict over the past few days has again raised doubts about whether the memorandum of understanding signed in June will lead to a permanent ceasefire. KCM Trade's chief market analyst pointed out that if hostilities escalate and damage energy infrastructure in the Gulf region, the possibility of oil prices returning to $100 remains high; however, if diplomatic efforts push for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Brent crude prices may remain in the $75-$80 range. 4. Analysts believe that the current risk premium still exists, but it is not a one-way bet—both sides still have an incentive to seek a diplomatic solution, and any breakthrough in negotiations could quickly reverse the current upward trend.

[Cornin expresses “concern” over Acting Attorney General Branch’s involvement in Trump’s tax settlement; judge criticizes him as “complicity”] (1) Senator John Cornyn, a key Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he was “concerned” about Acting Attorney General Alan Branch’s role in facilitating the settlement between Trump and the IRS that aims to protect Trump and his family from audits for years to come. A federal judge has issued a stern order criticizing Branch’s involvement. (2) In a 56-page ruling, Judge Williams stated that the lawsuit was essentially an “attempt to use the courts to legitimize an exemption agreement” and referred the litigator’s lawyers to disciplinary review. He also shared his opinion with the New York Bar Association for an assessment of Branch’s role. As part of the settlement, the Justice Department proposed a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” while Trump withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit in exchange for exemptions from past audits. (3) Cornyn will question Branch about this matter and the “anti-weaponization fund” at his confirmation hearing on Wednesday. With Republicans holding only 12 seats on the committee (compared to 10 for Democrats), Blanche's nomination could be blocked at the committee level if a Republican defectes and all Democrats vote against it; Cornyn's vote is crucial.

[European military rebuilding focuses on drones, NATO, the UK and Germany make intensive deployments, defense technology valuations soar] (1) After years of military rebuilding due to the Russia-Ukraine war, European investment is accelerating towards drones and autonomous systems, which are seen as the core of future security. NATO announced a new drone initiative and plans to invest more than $40 billion in counter-drone capabilities over five years; the UK allocated £5 billion for "drone transformation"; Germany purchased 50,000 drones to aid Ukraine; defense technology company Helsing was valued at $18 billion. (2) Practical experience shows that AI-enabled low-cost drones have significant value in intelligence, strike and autonomous operations, and the Ukrainian battlefield has proven that software (such as anti-jamming systems and collaborative swarm technology) is increasingly determining the battlefield situation. Related technologies have attracted the interest of armed forces in many countries such as Germany, Norway, the UK, and France. (3) The demand for drones has spilled over to fields such as secure communications, battlefield software, AI, satellite intelligence and electronic warfare. Europe’s core defense spending has doubled since 2019, and defense technology financing has jumped from about 200 million euros in 2021 to 2.6 billion euros in 2025, indicating that the outcome of future wars will depend on software and autonomous capabilities, rather than just traditional hardware.
