Gold prices rose slightly in Asian trading on Thursday, driven by a weaker dollar and the Fed's expected 25 basis point rate cut. Spot gold rose as much as 0.9% to $3,966.35 per ounce, before retreating slightly to around $3,949, a gain of about 0.5%. The Fed cut rates for the second time this year, adjusting the target range for the policy rate to 3.75%-4.00%. Fed Chairman Powell stated that there are clear differences in the future policy path, and the market should not expect another rate cut by the end of the year. Powell's hawkish signals put downward pressure on gold prices overnight. Interest rate and economic uncertainty are beneficial for non-interest-bearing gold. The dollar index fell 0.2% from its two-week high, reducing the cost of gold for holders of other currencies. The market is focused on the meeting between the leaders of China and the US in South Korea. The US seeks to restart the trade truce, but tensions between the two sides persist, and long-term friction is difficult to resolve. Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung finalized details of the US-South Korea trade agreement on Wednesday and expressed optimism about a meeting between the Chinese and US leaders. 5. Holdings of the world's largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust, fell to 1036.05 tons on Wednesday, a decrease of 0.28% from the previous day.

[Shenzhou-21 Crew to Conduct First In-Orbit Space Science Experiment with Rodents] This morning (October 30th), a press conference for the Shenzhou-21 manned space mission was held at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The spokesperson introduced that, according to plan, the Shenzhou-21 astronaut crew will conduct 27 new scientific and applied projects during their time in orbit, mainly focusing on in-depth and systematic research into key scientific issues in multiple fields such as space life sciences and biotechnology, aerospace medicine, space materials science, microgravity fluid physics and combustion, and new aerospace technologies. Among these, the first in-orbit space science experiment with rodents will be conducted. Four mice (two females and two males) will be used, carried aboard the spacecraft and kept in orbit, focusing on the effects of weightlessness, confinement, and other space conditions on the mice's behavioral patterns. Afterwards, they will return to Earth with the spacecraft to conduct further scientific research, exploring the stress response and adaptive changes of multiple organs and tissues in the mice under space conditions. The project will also conduct research on the relationship between the origin of the genetic code and chirality in the space environment, exploring the selectivity between different chiral combinations of amino acids and nucleosides, and investigating the influence of molecular chirality and the gravitational environment on the chiral origin of biomolecules. In addition, Shenzhou-21 also carried out several onboard projects for space applications, including in-situ research on the electrochemical and optical properties of lithium-ion batteries and experiments on an on-orbit intelligent computing platform for the space station. These projects will provide a basis for subsequent scientific research and further lay the foundation for on-orbit applications. (CCTV News)

[US Government Shutdown Enters Fifth Week on March 29, Economic Losses Could Reach $7 Billion to $14 Billion] 1. The US federal government shutdown entered its fifth week on March 29. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) warned in an open letter that if the shutdown continues, it could cause $7 billion to $14 billion in economic losses. 2. In the letter to the chairman of the House Budget Committee, the CBO reported that, depending on the duration of the shutdown, it expects the annualized growth rate of US real GDP in the fourth quarter of this year to decrease by 1 to 2 percentage points, estimating "a loss of $7 billion to $14 billion in economic output that cannot be recovered." 3. The CBO anticipates that the situation will improve once the government reopens. However, the closure of numerous federal agencies and offices and the slowdown in production will have a significant impact on the US economy. The losses will intensify as the federal government shutdown continues. A four-week shutdown would result in a $7 billion loss to the US economy; a six-week shutdown would raise the loss to $11 billion; and an eight-week shutdown would reach $14 billion.

Standard Chartered: Significant Upside Potential for the Dollar and Treasury Yields. Standard Chartered believes that given the deep divisions within the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), speeches by Fed officials could have a significant impact on currencies in the next two weeks.

"Overall, market expectations for rate cuts haven't even been halved, so if the Fed's divisions are as significant as Powell has suggested, we believe there is significant upside potential for yields and the dollar." "The uncertainty surrounding future rate cuts aligns with our previous contrarian view that the FOMC would not cut rates in 2026."

[CITIC Securities: FOMC Divergence Widens, Powell Downplays December Rate Cut Expectations] A CITIC Securities research report points out that the Fed's 25bps rate cut at its October 2025 meeting was in line with market expectations. Powell's assessment of the economic situation was similar to that of September, and he noted the significant divergence within the FOMC regarding whether to continue cutting rates in December, stating that a December rate cut is not a "sure thing." However, we believe that not cutting rates in December requires the US government to return to normal operations and release economic data that does not support further rate cuts, which is a higher threshold than continuing rate cuts. Furthermore, we believe that among the current 12 voting members for 2025, the number supporting a December rate cut still exceeds the number of those supporting it, and we expect December to be a "close call" rate cut. We maintain our previous view that the Fed will cut rates again by 25bps at its next meeting. After Powell downplayed rate cut expectations, the dollar and US Treasury yields rose, while US stocks and gold suffered some setbacks. We expect the market to continue trading on this shift in the short term, with the expectation of a rate cut diminishing.

[US Media: Government Shutdown May See a Turnaround Early Next Week] According to Politico, after nearly a month of government shutdown, the situation seems to be finally beginning to change. The looming critical deadlines, coupled with external pressure, are adding new urgency to the bipartisan dialogue that has been stalled for weeks. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his Senate allies, House Speaker Mike Johnson and other House Republican leaders appear increasingly confident that more and more centrist Democrats are prepared to compromise on a temporary funding bill to mitigate the impact of the shutdown, possibly as early as next week. Republican leaders are discussing a new temporary funding bill, with dozens of options already in place, including providing temporary funding to the government until around January 21 or later into March.

[Huatai Securities: US$80 Billion Nuclear Power Investment Leads AI Infrastructure Development] Huatai Securities points out that the US$550 billion investment and financing in Japan and the US supports power infrastructure, with Westinghouse's US$80 billion nuclear power investment leading the way. We reiterate the driving force of the AI narrative on accelerating the construction of the US power system. On the demand side, the main trend of power shortages and grid expansion in the US continues due to the high demand for data center grid connection. On the supply side, the US$550 billion investment framework in Japan and the US covers the entire process of AI power infrastructure, including baseload power, grid equipment, on-site power, backup power, energy storage, and in-wall power. In terms of construction pace, we predict that the US will postpone the retirement of coal-fired power plants and increase solar-storage SOFC in the short term, fully construct large gas turbines in the medium term, and build nuclear power in the long term. We are optimistic that various sub-sectors of the power new sector will flourish during this process.

[Citi: Unexpected US-South Korea Agreement Temporarily Eases Pressure on the Korean Won] Citi stated that the US and South Korea reached a partial agreement ahead of schedule on South Korea's planned $350 billion US investment fund. This development has eased pressure on the Korean won and reduced the short-term financing burden on the South Korean domestic bond market. Citi economist Jin-Wook Kim noted in a report that the 25% tariff on South Korean-made cars will be reduced to 15%, and most South Korean goods will maintain their current tariff levels. The tariff reduction policy for South Korean-made cars will be retroactive to the first day of a specific month (likely November 1st). For the South Korean auto industry, which is highly dependent on US demand, the downside risks may be significantly reduced. As the Bank of Korea needs to remit investment returns from its foreign exchange reserves to the US, the National Pension Service (NPS) may play an increasingly important role in the foreign exchange market through foreign exchange hedging and overseas asset purchases. However, in the coming years, the proportion of South Korean private companies converting their dollar export revenue into won may decline, potentially triggering a depreciation risk for the won. Citi expects this event to have a neutral impact on South Korean monetary policy.
