Institutional View: Interest Rate Hikes May Not Suppress Precious Metals, US Debt Pressure Could Become a Turning Point

(1) Some viewpoints suggest that investors are often influenced by the misconception that rising interest rates are unfavorable for precious metals, but this logic may not necessarily hold. (2) An increase in interest rates may stem from rising inflation or a sovereign debt crisis; either scenario provides positive support for gold. (3) This perspective also believes that the Federal Reserve is currently adopting a more symbolic stance on inflation. Constrained by the expanding scale of US Treasury debt, it is difficult to raise interest rates to a sufficiently high level. (4) Ultimately, the Federal Reserve may be forced to restart its "money printing" or suspend rate hikes, at which point the prices of precious metals are likely to surge significantly.

Spot gold: range consolidation, buy on dips, sell on rallies

(1) Analysis: Bond yields have fallen from their highest levels since 2002 to around 5.29%. Combined with lower oil prices and a slightly weaker US dollar, these factors are supporting gold prices, which are currently consolidating around $4,150. CME data shows about a 79.5% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady in October, with concerns over rate hikes easing. However, with the FOMC minutes approaching and Fed officials maintaining a hawkish stance, persistent inflation is capping the upside. Gold remains below the 100-day moving average, with the price mainly ranging in a consolidation phase. (2) Key focus: US bond yields, US dollar index, geopolitical situation, FOMC minutes. (3) Resistance: 4,180, 4,200, 4,230. (4) Support: 4,130, 4,100, 4,080.

Gold Trading Reminder: FOMC Minutes to Be Released Soon, Will the Gold Bull-Bear Deadlock Be Broken?

U.S. News: Trade Gap Hits 17-Month High ---- By Konrad Putzier and Anthony DeBarros

The U.S. trade deficit widened in August to its biggest in more than a year, with the U.S. buying more products like crude oil, gold and semiconductors from abroad. The trade gap in goods and services widened by 14% in August from the prior month to a seasonally adjusted number of roughly $106 billion, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That marked the highest level since March 2025, when companies were racing to import goods early in President Trump's second term to get ahead of tariffs. Imports in crude oil and nonmonetary gold saw big monthly gains, along with semiconductors. The data-center boom has been a major driver of the trade deficit this year, with imports of semiconductors, computers and computer accessories up a total of $234 billion in the first eight months of this year, compared with the same period last year. Data-center spending pushed the trade deficit to "quite strong levels only exceeded by the front-running days" of 2025 when companies were rushing to get ahead of tariffs, said Brad Setser, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Electronics have been largely exempt from the Trump administration's tariffs. "That's the key thing," Setser said. Crude-oil imports from Canada rose by more than 8 million barrels in August. The U.S. monthly trade deficit with its northern neighbor rose to $7.1 billion from $3 billion in July. The increase came amid new U.S. tariffs on a range of Canadian goods. The trade deficit for goods reached about $137 billion in August. Still, through the first eight months of the year, the goods deficit was about $110 billion smaller than the same period in 2025. U.S. exports also grew in August, but at a slower pace than imports. Crude and fuel oil exports rose by $3.2 billion amid high oil prices and the continued disruption of global oil markets from the war in Iran. Trade deficits have shifted abruptly from month to month during the Trump administration, as companies have responded to rapid changes in trade policy. The goods and services trade deficit fo

Oil and AI chip imports drive U.S. August trade deficit to expand to 105.6 billions, reaching a 17-month high

The U.S. trade deficit widened to $105.6 billion in August, reaching its highest level since March 2025, with imports hitting a record $420.8 billion. This surge was mainly driven by a significant rise in semiconductor and capital goods imports due to AI data center construction. The larger-than-expected deficit led Goldman Sachs and the Atlanta Fed to lower their third-quarter GDP forecasts.
