Gold prices broke through $5,000 again as moderate inflation strengthened expectations of a Fed rate cut. Gold prices strengthened after moderate inflation data was released, prompting traders to further bet on a Fed rate cut. Some investors also bought on dips after Thursday's sharp decline. The relatively moderate US January inflation data effectively eased market concerns about rapidly rising inflation, increasing market expectations for a Fed rate cut. Following the data release, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note fell, and traders in the interest rate swap market estimated that the probability of a third Fed rate cut before December was about 50%. As a result, gold prices rose as much as 2.3% during the session. Generally, lower interest rates are beneficial for gold, a non-interest-bearing asset. Spot gold rose 1.9% to $5,016.90 per ounce. Silver rose 3.4% to $77.81 per ounce, while platinum and palladium prices rose in tandem, and the US dollar index saw limited fluctuations.

[Analyst: Tariff Inflation May Continue to Spread to the Economy in the Coming Months; Fed Expected to Cut Rates Twice This Year] Stephen Douglass, an analyst at NISA Investment Advisors, points out that about one-third of the inflationary pressure from tariffs has not yet been fully transmitted and will continue to gradually dissipate in the coming months. The Fed is likely to maintain interest rates unchanged in the short term. He believes the US economy is returning to a soft landing trajectory, the labor market will stabilize, and the aftershocks of tariff inflation are expected to clear in the first half of the year. Commodity inflation is expected to turn negative in the second half, opening a window for rate cuts. The firm anticipates the Fed will cut rates twice this year, in September and December respectively.

[US Electric Vehicle Market Cools, Detroit Automakers Suffer $50 Billion Loss] As the US electric vehicle boom gradually subsides, American automakers are facing huge losses. The Detroit Big Three—GM, Ford, and Stlantis—announced over $50 billion in impairment losses on electric vehicle-related assets after a 30% drop in sales in the fourth quarter. The sales decline was mainly due to the expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit. GM continues to reduce electric vehicle production, while Ford has adjusted its strategy, planning to launch a low-priced electric pickup truck by 2027. Stlantis sold its battery business stake due to a misjudgment of the energy transition's pace. The reduction in US federal tax credits, relaxed energy efficiency requirements, and weak market demand have forced automakers to suspend related projects, lay off staff, and refocus on gasoline-powered vehicles.

The Johannesburg-based company stated that the preliminary ruling to impose a 132.83% tariff on unwrought Russian palladium still requires final review and confirmation by the two government agencies, with the process expected to be completed in June.

Capital Group, a giant in asset management, predicts the European Central Bank will raise interest rates in 2026, contradicting market consensus. Capital Group, managing $3.3 trillion in assets, stated that the European Central Bank (ECB) will implement at least one interest rate hike this year, which will significantly boost the euro against the dollar. This view differs significantly from the expectation of most investors and economists that the ECB will maintain interest rates unchanged until 2027. Some market participants even predict that if the Federal Reserve, under its new chairman, initiates rate cuts, forcing the ECB to follow suit, the ECB may shift to an easing policy. Current currency market pricing indicates that the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut by the ECB is less than one-third. Edward Harrold, Chief Investment Officer at Capital Group, predicts that European economic growth will accelerate, driving a divergence between the ECB and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy paths. In an interview, he mentioned that this trend will push the euro to the upper end of the 1.20 range by the end of the year. The euro was last quoted at approximately 1.1860 against the dollar on Friday.

The system boasts 100% domestic production capacity for its core equipment and processes. The maximum power output of the system is 500kW, capable of generating over 3.3 million kilowatt-hours annually. Furthermore, through its original zero-carbon reheating process, the system is the first in the world to maintain an outlet temperature above 0°C under conditions of zero fuel and zero external heating in winter, breaking through a major technical bottleneck in the widespread application of natural gas pressure differential power generation systems.
