Trade Talks Lift Markets

 

On June 9, 2025, global markets are driven by optimism over US-China trade talks in London, mixed Chinese economic data, and a USD pullback (DXY at 99.00) despite strong US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data (139K vs. 130K expected). The Australian Dollar (AUD/USD at 0.6510) rises as China’s Trade Surplus expands to CNY743.56B, though deflation persists (CPI -0.1% YoY, PPI -3.3% YoY). EUR/USD holds at 1.1400, GBP/USD edges up to 1.3530, and USD/CAD dips to 1.3680 amid trade deal hopes. NZD/USD gains to 0.6035, supported by China’s data, while USD/JPY softens to 143.20 on Japan’s revised Q1 GDP (0% vs. -0.2% expected). WTI crude slides to $63.80, cushioned by trade optimism. Silver (XAG/USD) and gold (XAU/USD) remain steady at $34.50 and $3,355, respectively. Key catalysts include US-China trade negotiations, upcoming Chinese CPI/PPI, and Eurozone economic data, with geopolitical tensions and US fiscal concerns in focus.

 

Gold Price Forecast (XAU/USD)

Current Price and Context

Gold (XAU/USD) trades at $3,355, steady as USD corrects lower (DXY at 99.00) and trade talk optimism reduces safe-haven demand.

 

 

Key Drivers

US-China Trade Talks: Optimism from the London meeting reduces safe-haven flows, capping gold upside.

US Economic Data: Strong NFP (139K) dampens Fed rate-cut hopes, supporting USD and pressuring gold. Fiscal concerns (Trump’s $4T bill) sustain uncertainty.

Geopolitical Risks: Ukraine-Russia escalation (Kharkiv attacks) and Middle East tensions support gold’s safe-haven appeal.

Monetary Policy: Fed rate-cut bets (70% for two cuts) and Trump’s pressure on Powell limit USD gains, aiding gold.

China’s Economy: Deflationary pressures (CPI -0.1%, PPI -3.3%) signal weak demand, impacting gold marginally.

 

Technical Outlook

Trend: Bullish, above $3,324-$3,326. RSI in positive territory supports upside.

Resistance: $3,380, then $3,400 (multi-week high). A breakout could target $3,500 (April peak).

Support: $3,326-$3,324, then $3,300 and $3,286-$3,285.

Forecast: Gold may test $3,380 if geopolitical tensions escalate. Strong trade deal progress could push to $3,300; weak deal may drive $3,400.

Catalysts: US-China trade talks, Chinese CPI/PPI, Eurozone GDP, geopolitical risks.

 

 Silver Price Forecast (XAG/USD)

Current Price and Context

Silver (XAG/USD) trades at $34.50, stable as safe-haven demand balances USD correction.

 

 

Key Drivers

Safe-Haven Demand: Geopolitical tensions (Ukraine-Russia, Middle East) support silver, offset by US-China trade optimism.

US Economic Data: Strong NFP (139K) supports USD, but fiscal concerns and rate-cut bets limit gains, aiding silver.

China’s Economy: Caixin Services PMI at 51.1 boosts industrial demand, but deflation (CPI -0.1%, PPI -3.3%) caps upside.

Monetary Policy: Fed rate-cut expectations and Trump’s pressure on Powell bolster non-yielding assets.

US Fiscal Concerns: Trump’s budget bill and “Sell America” trend add uncertainty, supporting silver.

 

Technical Outlook

Trend: Neutral-to-bullish, in a rectangular pattern. RSI above 50 suggests upside potential.

Resistance: $34.80 (rectangle’s upper boundary), then $34.90 (seven-week high) and $35.80 (March high).

Support: $33.10 (50-day EMA), then $32.80 (rectangle’s lower boundary) and $32.50 (six-week low).

Forecast: Silver may test $34.80 if tensions persist. Strong trade deal could push to $32.80; weak deal may drive $35.00.

YoY. CPI fell 0.1% YoY (vs. -0.2% expected), and PPI dropped 3.3% YoY, signaling deflationary pressures but supporting AUD via trade ties.

US-China Trade Talks: Scheduled London meeting with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent boosts risk sentiment, aiding AUD as a China-proxy currency.

US Economic Data: Strong NFP (139K vs. 130K expected) supports USD, but fiscal concerns and Fed rate-cut bets (70% for two 25 bps cuts in 2025) limit gains.
