On Tuesday, as the market struggled with uncertainty over Trump's tariff policies, the US dollar index rose first and then fell, reaching a intraday high of 108.78 before giving up all its gains and turning downwards, ultimately closing down 0.1% at 107.97. The yield of US Treasury bonds has declined, with the benchmark 10-year yield closing at 4.582%; The two-year US Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 4.283%.

Gold prices surged 1.39% on Tuesday, reaching a new high of $2745.83 per ounce in over two months and closing at $2744.59 per ounce. Supported by the weakening of the US dollar and the uncertainty of potential tariffs imposed by US President Trump, the market is flocking to safe haven gold.
