Will Moody’s Downgrade Trigger a Collapse in the US Dollar Index?

Recently, global financial markets have faced a series of shocks. Phase-wise progress in China-US trade negotiations and the temporary suspension of tariffs have offered short-term relief. Simultaneously, international rating agency Moody’s downgraded the US sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, fueling risk-off sentiment in the market. As the world’s most important currency benchmark, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has become a central focus amid these events. I. Macroeconomic Background: Easing in China-US Trade and Geopolitical Risk ReleaseIn mid-May 2025, high-level economic and trade talks between China and the US were held in Geneva, resulting in significant interim consensus. Both parties announced the removal of 91% of tariffs and the suspension of 24% of remaining tariffs. This move

Three Key Opportunities to Watch as Market Risks Ease

The recent agreement reached in the U.S.-China tariff negotiations has significantly alleviated the market anxiety that had prevailed since April. Meanwhile, although the Russia-Ukraine talks have resumed, a swift resolution remains unlikely; however, signs of progress have also helped ease risk aversion. Has the worst already passed? Hopefully so, though former President Trump’s unpredictable remarks remain a potential source of volatility. For now, the short-term market climate appears relatively calm. With the 90-day tariff suspension period not ending until late July, there is still time for developments—investors can be cautiously optimistic, but should avoid reckless moves.1.

GOLD: Gold or Extended Oscillatory Game Pattern

This week, gold or extended oscillatory game pattern, short-term mixed short and long factors, need to pay attention to the following key points: 1. Drivers Favourable downside: the U.S. trade war eases and the Fed postponed interest rate cuts are still expected, the dollar index if the 101 mark, will suppress the space of the gold price rebound; the technical surface of the 3250 U.S. dollars near the existence of a strong resistance, if you can not break through may trigger profit-taking. Favourable to rise: geopolitical risks (the situation in the Middle East, Russia-Ukraine peace talks stalemate) and weak U.S. economic data (retail sales, PPI fall) or stimulate safe-haven demand rebound; global central bank gold purchases (244 tonnes of additional holdings in the first quarter) to provi

After the Global Oil Price Plunge, Bargain Hunters Should Wait a Little Longer

In May, as progress was made in China-U.S. trade negotiations, international crude oil prices experienced a rebound. The rebound for NYMEX WTI crude and ICE Brent crude approached 5%, while INE’s RMB-denominated crude rose by nearly 4%. Since the beginning of the year, international crude oil prices have continued to decline, mainly due to a global pattern of “increasing supply and decreasing demand,” with persistent concerns about oversupply.The following chart shows the trend of NYMEX WTI crude oil futures prices.Looking ahead, the progress in China-U.S. trade talks, the substantial reduction of the high tariffs imposed on each other in April, a slight easing of global economic downside risks, and the upcoming peak driving season in the U.S. are expected to provide short-term momentum fo

Is Gold’s Price Correction Over?

Originally, it was anticipated that the market would stabilize as progress was made in tariff negotiations and Russia-Ukraine talks, and the Federal Reserve clarified its interest rate cut trajectory following its latest meeting. However, just as the situation seemed to settle, a fresh wave of India-Pakistan conflict erupted, directly leading to sharp fluctuations in gold prices, signaling a renewed sense of uncertainty in the markets. Although later reports indicated a ceasefire between the two countries, sporadic clashes resumed within hours, making the news cycle highly unstable and necessitating an adjustment in price expectations.1.

Is the Slow Rally in U.S. Stocks Approaching Its End?

Before the May Day holiday, we briefly highlighted some potential leading signals in the market. Among them, crude oil’s subsequent trend showed clear weakness, while several other assets experienced volatility or continued modest rallies. As the time cycle progresses, this week and the next are very likely to mark the rebound peaks for most asset classes. This implies that conservative traders could choose to lock in profits by closing long positions, whereas more aggressive traders might seek opportunities to initiate shorts.U.S. Stock Market OutlookStarting with U.S. stock indices, they have now entered what can be described as a rebound “danger zone.” Taking the S&P 500 as a reference, the market has retraced 61.8% of its prior decline, but it is already very close to the previous

After a 40% Weekly Surge, Ether Poised as a Barometer of Market Sentiment

Last week, our article mentioned the possibility of Ether experiencing a catch-up rally, which could serve as a supplementary signal for the current market rebound peaking. However, Ether’s actual performance was far beyond expectations. In just a few trading days, Ethereum rebounded more than 40% from its recent lows. This short squeeze indicates that the strength or weakness of this asset will impact not only the crypto sector but also confidence across all risk assets. In other words, the current rebound is unlikely to truly end until Ether’s upward momentum stalls.Given Ethereum’s inherently higher volatility compared to conventional market assets, a 40% single-week surge is rare and typically only seen during bull markets. While short squeezes can occur in bottoming phases as well, th

S&P 500 Rally Suddenly Halts as U.S. Stocks Sink into an Uncertainty Quagmire

The S&P 500's nine-day rally - its longest winning streak in nearly 20 years - came to an abrupt end on Monday, marking a stark reversal after the index had nearly recovered losses triggered by early April's "reciprocal tariffs" rhetoric. This rally had been fueled by the Trump administration's decision to suspend additional tariffs and positive signals from trade negotiations.Tariff Policy Uncertainty ResurfacesWhile the S&P 500 closed May 2 with a 1.5% gain to secure its ninth consecutive daily advance, markets remained under the cloud of tariff policy risks. Morgan Stanley strategist Michael Wilson and his team emphasized that maintaining this upward trajectory would require concrete progress on trade agreements.The anticipated trade deal optimism evaporated abruptly on May 5 wh

Gold Undergoes Expected Correction, While U.S. Stock Indices Face Key Resistance Levels

Last week's post was a timely reminder: gold prices were facing correction expectations. As it turned out, stronger-than-expected nonfarm payroll data finally triggered a significant adjustment in gold prices. However, based on historical data of similar gold market trends, this correction is just getting started and remains far from the historical average decline of over 20%. With the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting approaching next week, gold prices are likely to fall further. For those looking to "buy the dip," it's advisable not to rush in too soon.Historical Magnitude and Timing of Gold CorrectionsAnyone who has followed my posts or live streams knows that I always provide estimations of the extent and timing for every significant market move, and the accuracy of these predict

Beware of Sudden Market Reversals!

Over the past two weeks, while Trump's erratic behavior has somewhat subsided, most assets have experienced varying degrees of rebounds and corrections as previously anticipated. Some faster-moving products have essentially reached their target levels, making it an appropriate time to consider securing profits. Other lagging assets shouldn't automatically be viewed as having catch-up potential, as when market leaders begin to weaken, followers typically face pressure to follow suit.Cryptocurrency Market AnalysisLet's first examine the cryptocurrency market, which showed resilience during the decline and led the rebound, with Bitcoin (BTC) as our primary benchmark. The price approached $97,000 over the weekend, representing approximately a $23,000 (30%) rebound from its low point. Although

If the U.S. CPI data is hotter than expected, it could push gold prices down towards the 50-day moving average at $3,145. Next good support levels are expected at $3,100 and the 10 April low of $3,072. If the US CPI data surprises to the downside, gold prices could regain the 21-day moving average (currently at $3,311). Once this level is breached, bulls aim to test the downtrend line resistance at $3430. A sustained break above this resistance would open the door to record highs of $3,500 for gold prices.

Will Gold’s Price-Currently Overheated-Face a Stampede-Like Crash?

At the beginning of last week, Trump “threatened” to fire Powell, then later stated he did not plan to dismiss the current Federal Reserve Chairman and hinted at lowering tariffs on China. This caused gold prices to spike and then retreat-a rare volatile movement. These remarks signaled a softening of Trump’s previously hardline stance on tariffs and Fed policy, easing the market’s risk-aversion sentiment to some extent. Since much of gold’s price increase since Trump took office has been driven by safe-haven demand, a shift in Trump’s attitude could trigger a sharp “stampede-like” sell-off among bullish investors, commonly known as a “long liquidation” or “long-unwinding” style correction.1.

Trump Pressures the Fed for an Emergency Rate Cut: Will U.S. Stocks Rebound This Week?

As Jerome Powell continues to stress uncertainties around the economy and inflation—firmly sticking to a “hawkish” stance against rapid rate cuts—President Trump has now “reached his limit,” openly questioning whether he holds the authority to “fire” the Federal Reserve Chair.Though actually removing Powell in practice would be quite difficult—and with Powell’s term set to expire next year, it·s debatable whether such a move would even be necessary—the increasing disconnect between presidential policy and Fed monetary policy has become stark. Against the backdrop of shifting tariff policies, unexpected headlines have started to hit the market with greater frequency. Given Trump’s characteristic unpredictability, it’s hardly unthinkable that he might impulsively announce Powell’s dismissal,

Is Now the Time to Buy the Dip in U.S. Stocks?

From the overall market performance last week, most risk assets that had experienced significant pressure saw a pullback after an initial rapid rebound. Although the market's performance during the week was mediocre, the latest news developments suggest that there are few signs of further deterioration in the short term. After Trump’s tactics failed to yield significant impact, it is expected the market will continue to recover some ground before entering a second bottoming process. During this period, whether in terms of major asset classes or individual stocks, it is advisable to select strong performers, while those showing weak rebounds should be avoided.Due to the Easter holiday, there were only four trading days in the futures market last week.
