U.S. Treasury Yields at High Levels Impact Financial Markets, Gold Prices Rise Due to Increased Safe-Haven Demand This week, U.S. Treasury yields remained high, driving capital into the bond market, which strengthened the U.S. dollar index while putting pressure on the SPX500. Although risk assets were under pressure, gold prices rose due to inflation concerns and uncertainty. Trump’s policies and AI themes supported SPX500 performance. The U.S. economic outlook for 2025 remains optimistic, but the expected rate cuts could weigh on small and medium-sized enterprises, with limited impact on tech stocks. With a high base in 2025, the SPX500 may shift to a range-bound market. Overall, Trump 2.0 policies and global uncertainties will influence the market, and investors should stay alert. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews

"Super Central Bank Day" Sparks Market Volatility, PCE Data in Focus Yesterday's "Super Central Bank Day" took center stage, with the Fed's "hawkish rate cut" prompting market adjustments. Expectations for only one rate cut next year drove U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar index higher, while weighing on U.S. stocks and gold prices. The Bank of Japan kept its rate at 0.25%, with a cautious stance pushing USD/JPY above 157. The Bank of England held at 4.75%, but three members supported a rate cut, dragging GBP/USD below 1.249. Tonight, U.S. PCE data will take the spotlight. While the dollar may consolidate at its highs, whether U.S. stocks will rebound remains to be seen. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews

Weak Demand Pressures Oil Prices, Limited Support from OPEC Cuts This week, oil prices benefited from OPEC’s extended production cuts and geopolitical factors but remained near the $70 level. Progress on a Gaza ceasefire agreement eased some tensions, leading to a decline in oil prices. Weak demand has become more evident in recent data, such as the drop in Germany’s business confidence index. The IEA projects that global oil demand growth will remain sluggish through 2025. On the supply side, OPEC has extended its production cut plan by three months, providing short-term support for oil prices. Overall, the outlook for oil prices is cautious, with seasonal demand growth or geopolitical shifts needed to drive significant price increases. Investors should remain vigilant to potential sudden disruptions. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews

PPI Rebound Triggers Market Turmoil, Interest Rate Cut Expectations vs. Economic Data Following the CPI data earlier this week, which met market expectations but showed a slight increase, the PPI released yesterday displayed a rebound, leading to turbulence in financial markets. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond rose to 4.328%, while the U.S. dollar strengthened above 107, supported by expectations of a rate cut by the European Central Bank. Gold prices retreated to the previous support level of 2,675. Additionally, employment data showed strength, with initial jobless claims significantly higher than expected, reinforcing market expectations that the 2025 year-end interest rate will range between 3.75% and 4.00%, thus reducing the likelihood of further large rate cuts. It is anticipated that next week's FOMC meeting will not focus on the size of the rate cut, but rather on the Fed's economic outlook and expectations for the terminal rate. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews

Gold Rebounds Amid Renewed Global Demand Gold has climbed back to $2,600 after earlier pressure from rising U.S. bond yields and a stronger dollar. China resumed gold purchases in November, adding 160,000 ounces, while India’s demand remains strong despite high prices. South Korean investors also accumulated 191.2 kg in three days. A high likelihood of a Fed rate cut (88.9%) and global de-dollarization efforts continue to enhance gold's appeal. Despite short-term pressures, overall global sentiment toward gold remains positive. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews

Dollar Index Volatility and French Political Impact After hitting a new high on November 22, the Dollar Index has continued to decline, influenced by profit-taking from USD bulls and changes in France's political situation. On December 4, France's cabinet budget proposal was rejected, causing political instability. However, remarks by far-right leader Marine Le Pen gave the market hope for stability, pushing the euro up by about 100 points, breaking through the 1.05 level. Meanwhile, strong U.S. economic data has kept the Dollar Index consolidating around 105.7, awaiting tonight's non-farm payroll data, which will influence the FOMC's rate decision. Traders should pay attention to market volatility and invest cautiously. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews

Oil Prices Weaken Amid Geopolitical Tensions and Demand Concerns Oil prices initially surged due to geopolitical instability, but news of potential ceasefire agreements in the Middle East and the Russia-Ukraine conflict led to a price correction. OPEC+ has delayed the planned phase-out of production cuts that was initially set for October. Energy transition remains a key issue. China's shift towards electric and hybrid vehicles, coupled with economic slowdown, has reduced crude oil demand. Despite ongoing OPEC production cuts, weak demand and reduced geopolitical pressure have kept oil prices between $65 and $70, below supply-side expectations. =================================== About Hantec Financial: https://bit.ly/3XVuUyf #HantecFinancial #Hantec #Hantecgroup #Fintec #marketnews #financenews
