[Technical Analysis: Spot Gold May Retrace to $4466 Before Rebounding] 1. Spot gold may first retrace to $4466 per ounce, then retest the resistance level of $4520. 2. Gold prices have previously attempted to break through this resistance level twice without success, indicating that the first round of rebound from $4367 has ended. Due to strong rebound momentum, it is expected that after a shallow pullback, gold prices will continue to rise, targeting $4581 (the high point of wave B). 3. If gold prices can break through $4520, they are expected to rise further to the $4580-$4620 range. 4. From the daily chart, gold is currently stabilizing near the support level of the 200-day moving average. Thursday's candlestick closed as a hammer with a long lower shadow, suggesting that the downtrend that started from $4773, or the longer-term downtrend that started from $4889, may be reversing. 5. However, this reversal signal still needs confirmation from Friday's positive candlestick. If Friday ultimately closes with a negative candlestick, especially if the closing price is close to the 200-day moving average, currently near the 4400 level, then the hammer candlestick reversal pattern will be invalidated.

[Norway Pressures EU to Lift Arctic Oil and Gas Drilling Ban, Using Hormuz Blockade as New Argument] (1) Norway is pressuring the EU to lift the new ban on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic region, which holds nearly two-thirds of Norway's oil and gas resources. The EU plans to announce a new Arctic policy by the end of September, and Norwegian politicians, civil servants, and lobbying groups are traveling to Brussels to try to influence the decision. (2) Although not an EU member state, Norway is the largest oil and gas exporter in Western Europe, and its continental shelf production meets about 30% of the EU and UK's natural gas needs. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz provides Norway with a new argument, as the EU is increasingly reliant on Norwegian natural gas exports. (3) The core of the controversy lies in climate and the environment: the Arctic is warming three to four times faster than the global average, making it more vulnerable to exploration activities; expanding drilling will also hinder the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Critics argue that the short-term energy crisis is not sufficient justification for opening up Arctic drilling.

[Semiconductor Sector Plunge Drags Shanghai Composite Index Lower in Morning Trading; Traditional Blue Chips like Real Estate and Liquor Buck the Trend] 1. On Friday morning, the Shanghai Composite Index closed slightly lower, with the semiconductor sector suffering a sharp decline. Analysts pointed out that there were clear signs of market funds rebalancing and switching stocks, and investors should be cautious about chasing high-priced technology stocks. 2. By midday close, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.4% to 4083.62 points, while the CSI 300 Index rose slightly by 0.1%. The Shenzhen ChiNext Index closed down 1.1%, while the Shanghai STAR Market 50 Index fell sharply by 3.6%. 3. Analysts pointed out that the liquor sector had shown some movement in the previous two days, and its renewed strength today may not be a short-term phenomenon, but more likely a shift in funds between high and low performers. They pointed out that the semiconductor sector, currently at a high level, lacks sufficient performance support and is expected to face a correction in the short term. As the Shanghai Composite Index and the ChiNext Index diverge further, the divergence in fund flows intensifies significantly, and the rotation speed of market hotspots may accelerate, with the overall market expected to continue its volatile pattern. 4. The semiconductor sector led the market decline, with the CSI All Share Semiconductor Products and Equipment Index plunging 4.2%. The market also focused on shareholder selling in the semiconductor industry, with Shanghai Silicon Industry Group Co., Ltd. falling 7.6%. 5. The real estate and liquor sectors bucked the trend, becoming the leading gainers. The CSI 300 Real Estate Index and the CSI Liquor Index closed up 5.6% and 4.6% respectively in the morning session. This was following the State Council's release of the 15th Five-Year Plan for Urban Renewal, which boosted related sectors.

[National Australia Bank: US Economic Resilience May Limit Dollar Decline] 1. Rodrigo Catril, senior foreign exchange strategist at National Australia Bank, said that even if the US and Iran ultimately reach a peace agreement, the resilience shown by the US economy may limit the extent of the dollar's decline. 2. He pointed out, "If a credible and more lasting peace agreement is reached, the dollar may fall, as the global situation will improve, and lower energy prices will be a major positive factor." 3. However, he also believes that after the initial boost in market sentiment, the influence of relative growth will gradually increase. "The US has proven to be more resilient than other economies. If this continues, the dollar's decline, which the market had initially expected, will be relatively limited." 4. Catril added that the New Zealand dollar performed well on Friday, mainly driven by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's continued hawkish stance, better-than-expected survey data released that day, and the unwinding of long positions in the Australian dollar against the New Zealand dollar.

[Economist: Market May Underestimate the Possibility of Further Fed Tightening] (1) Blerina Uruci, chief U.S. economist at T. Rowe Price, said the market may still be underestimating the possibility of further Fed tightening. (2) Since early May, the Iranian conflict has lasted longer than expected, oil prices have risen, and U.S. economic growth has remained resilient. While the Fed can ignore the temporary energy shock, continued pressure on oil and import prices could affect inflation expectations, wage dynamics, and corporate pricing behavior. (3) Uruci estimates a 45% probability that the federal funds rate will remain unchanged over the next 12 months, a 35% probability of a rate hike by the end of the year or early 2027, and a 20% probability of a rate cut.

[South Korean Finance Minister: Industrial Output Expected to Rebound in May, Business Confidence Improves] (1) South Korean Finance Minister Koo Yoon-cheol said on Friday that industrial output fell sharply by 0.6% month-on-month in April due to tensions in the Middle East, and retail sales and equipment investment also contracted; however, with signs of improvement in business confidence, output is expected to rebound in May. (2) He pointed out that the decline in April's data was mainly due to the base effect of strong performance in the previous months (a month-on-month increase of 2.1% in February and 0.4% in March), while consumer and business confidence have rebounded significantly, and with exports remaining strong, industrial output is expected to return to an upward trajectory. (3) The government will strive to alleviate the burden of high oil prices on people's livelihoods and revitalize various economic sectors. The meeting also discussed specific plans to reduce the energy cost burden on farmers and fishermen, as well as to encourage the return of South Korean companies from overseas.

[Samsung and SK Hynix surges force funds to sell, foreign capital outflows hit record high] (1) The rapid rise in the share prices of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix has forced some funds to sell due to reaching the 10% holding limit for a single stock. Asset management companies such as Zurich GAM and Singapore Jupiter have had to readjust their portfolios to comply with the regulations. (2) Analysts pointed out that the record foreign capital outflow is mainly due to the mechanical selling pressure brought about by fund rebalancing, which has further aggravated market volatility and highlighted the crowded nature of current trading strategies. (3) As of Thursday, global investors have net sold $63.6 billion of South Korean stocks this year, the largest monthly net outflow since 1999; of which Samsung and SK Hynix have seen a combined net outflow of $58.6 billion. Goldman Sachs said that most of the selling may have been completed, but if the market concentration of the two companies continues to rise, it may create additional pressure. Some investors are seeking to indirectly expand their exposure to the semiconductor sector through related companies, holding companies or insurance companies that hold large shares in the two companies.
