ChainCatcher news, according to financefeeds, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25% as expected (with 3 dissenting votes). Powell confirmed that after another rate cut in 2026, there will be a pause. The market has started to digest dovish remarks from new chairman candidate Kevin Hassett (who mentioned the possibility of more than three rate cuts). Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve announced monthly repurchases of about $40 billion in short-term Treasury bonds, lowering real interest rates and providing liquidity, which is mildly positive for stocks, metals, and cryptocurrencies. Compared to the US dollar, major currencies such as the euro and yen are showing a hawkish narrative. The yield on Germany's 30-year government bonds reached a record high, attracting capital inflows into European assets. Precious metals surged strongly: gold broke through $4,300, silver hit a historic high, and platinum and palladium also reached mid-term highs. Bitcoin is fluctuating narrowly in the $92,000-$93,000 range, trying to find demand after large ETF outflows. Bloomberg experts say hedge funds are preparing for a rebound. The DAX index has been forming a large consolidation pattern since June 2025 and is expected to break out; the Hang Seng Index is consolidating above the 200-day moving average and may reverse after testing the 24,500 support area.

ChainCatcher news, according to Golden Ten Data, Investinglive analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta stated that recently, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell made more dovish remarks than expected at the FOMC press conference, providing support for gold prices. He downplayed inflation risks and emphasized the weakness in the labor market, suggesting that the Federal Reserve has a higher tolerance for higher inflation than for labor market weakness. This week's focus is on the US Non-Farm Payrolls report and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Currently, the market expects the Federal Reserve to cut rates by 57 basis points by the end of 2026. If US economic data is strong, especially in the labor market, we may see a hawkish adjustment in market rate expectations, leading to a decline in gold prices. On the other hand, weak data should further support precious metal prices, as the market will bet on rate cuts ahead of time. From a more macro perspective, due to the Federal Reserve's dovish reaction mechanism, real yields may continue to decline, so gold prices should maintain an upward trend. However, in the short term, further hawkish adjustments in rate expectations may put pressure on the market.
