Gold continued to rise at the opening and broke upward!At present, the 4-hour chart of gold has formed an upward breakout trend. The decline may be over, and it will continue to strengthen! In the intraday, we focus on the 3200-line long-short watershed. Before gold falls further, gold will maintain a bullish trend. In the day, we focus on the recent starting point of 3222 support. If gold wants to go out of a steady upward trend, it will not fall below 3222 in the day. In the short term, we refer to the points above 3222 to arrange long positions! Therefore, in terms of operation, it is recommended to adjust the thinking, go long if it falls back to 3240-3245, or directly chase the rise after breaking through 3270. At present, it has been long at 3243 in the early trading. If there is no more decline, continue to go long! Identify the bulls during the day! On the whole, it is recommended to do more on the callback and short on the rebound in the short-term operation of gold. Focus on the resistance of 3300-3310 in the upper short term, and focus on the support of 3222-3245 in the lower short term.

Gold is once again affected by tariffs and rises sharplyNews: Gold rose sharply, mainly because Trump announced a 100% tariff on all films produced abroad and entering the United States, which once again triggered global trade tensions. At the same time, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is still ongoing, and the situation in the Middle East has become tense again. For example, Israel’s missile attacks retaliated against the Houthi armed forces in Yemen and Iran. These have stimulated gold’s safe-haven properties and pushed up gold prices.
Technical aspect: Gold bulls are strong, so there is a certain risk in shorting gold. The point of concern below is the low of 3323. If gold continues to maintain its strength, it is impossible to fall below the 3323 line again.
Trading ideas: Buy gold near 3338, stop loss 3330, target 3360

Gold operation strategyFrom the 4-hour analysis, the upper pressure is around 3336-3345, and the lower support is around 3280-3293. Continue to rely on this range to maintain the main tone of high-altitude and low-multiple cycles. For the middle position, watch more and do less, be cautious in chasing orders, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.
GOLD Gold buying is exceptionally high in 2025, and this surge is directly linked to geopolitical tensions-especially between China, Taiwan, and the United States-as well as broader trade and economic uncertainty.
Key Reasons for High Gold Buying
1. Geopolitical Risk: China–Taiwan–US Tensions
Investors are flocking to gold as a safe haven due to escalating tensions in the Taiwan Strait and the broader US-China relationship. Even without open conflict, the risk of confrontation or trade war is enough to drive up demand for gold.
The mere threat of a China-Taiwan conflict is seen as a potential trigger for global financial shocks, prompting investors to hedge against instability by accumulating gold.
2. Central Bank and Institutional Buying (Led by China)
Central banks, especially China’s, are buying gold at record levels. In Q1 2025, China’s central bank added 95 tonnes of gold to its reserves, part of a broader move to diversify away from US dollar assets.
This central bank accumulation is a major structural driver of gold’s price surge, providing persistent upward pressure even as other asset classes remain volatile.
3. Trade War and Tariff Uncertainty
The US has announced aggressive new tariffs on Chinese goods, and China is expected to retaliate. This has reignited fears of a global trade war, further fueling safe-haven demand for gold.
Gold is less affected by tariffs than other assets, making it particularly attractive during periods of trade friction.
4. Dollar Weakness and Portfolio Diversification
A sharp decline in the US Dollar Index (DXY) has also contributed to gold’s rise, as investors seek assets that are less exposed to dollar depreciation.
Regulatory changes in China have allowed more institutional and insurance fund investment in gold, further boosting demand.
Summary Table
Driver Gold Buying Impact
China–Taiwan–US Geopolitical Risk Strongly increases demand
Chinese Central Bank Accumulation Structural, sustained boost
Trade War/Tariff Uncertainty Safe-haven flows surge
Dollar Weakness Makes gold more attractive
In summary:
Gold buying is at record highs due to a combination of China–Taiwan–US geopolitical risk, aggressive central bank purchases (especially by China), trade war fears, and a weaker dollar. The situation in Taiwan is a major catalyst, as any escalation would have global economic consequences, making gold the preferred hedge for both institutions and individual investors.
Will gold prices rise again this week?As the US dollar is approaching the key middle track of the daily line, it is not far away. In the next two days, it is expected to end the rebound correction and continue to start a weak trend decline. Therefore, gold may also have a short-term bottom at any time in the next two days. The next step is to wait for a wave of pullback. At least the bottom low point of the previous convergence triangle of 3260-3270 will be tested and confirmed. After the test, if it cannot stand under pressure, there may be a second bottom test, a secondary low point or a double bottom, and then finally start a unilateral rise all the way; of course, if 3200 is not the low point of tonight, and the lower shadow of the daily closing is short, then it may be necessary to test the last 3175 position before determining the short-term bottom;

It's a shame that gold will continue to fallGold Weekly Forecast
Gold closed last week below the previous weekly lows at 3,260, confirming bearish intent. Price has now left behind multiple imbalances from the bullish leg that started at the 3,000 level.
We could first see a retracement to the small imbalance zone around 3,300, followed by a bearish continuation back to the main support/imbalance zone near 3,000.
Sideways price action is likely early in the week — but unless bulls reclaim 3,300+, momentum favors a retest of the base.
Bias: Bearish
Key Zones:
• Resistance / Rebalance: 3,300
• Support / Imbalance Target: 3,000

Risk aversion in the international situation is escalating! Gold has risen strongly again, breaking the shock, and there is basically no pullback. It is very likely that the risk aversion sentiment will be released directly, and gold will start to adjust again. Therefore, it is not suitable to chase more at this position now. It is better to wait patiently for the opportunity to fall back. Gold may rise and fall at any time. In the shock rise, it is very likely that the price will return to the starting point or lower in the later trend, but it can continue to rise. This is a feature of the shock. At the same time, the current market is not extremely strong and is still in the shock rise. Therefore, don't chase more, but retrace to support more.
Investment strategy: Gold 3340 short, stop loss 3050, target 3200
SILVER XAGUSD
Silver Demand Trends in 2025
Global silver demand is forecast to remain broadly stable in 2025 at around 1.20 billion ounces, with industrial use hitting a new record high. This is driven by ongoing growth in green technologies (solar panels, EVs), electronics, and AI-related products.
Industrial demand is expected to surpass 700 million ounces for the first time, while demand for coins and bars is rebounding in Western markets after a sharp drop in 2024.
Despite stable demand, the silver market remains in a structural deficit for the fifth year, with a 2025 shortfall projected at 117.6 million ounces-though this deficit is narrowing due to increased mine supply, especially from Mexico and Poland.
Which Country is Stockpiling Silver?
China is aggressively stockpiling silver in 2025.
China is purchasing large quantities of unrefined silver concentrate directly from Latin American refiners and miners, securing supply before it reaches the global spot market.
This strategy is driven by surging domestic industrial demand (especially for solar panels) and declining Chinese mine output.
How the China–Taiwan Conflict Affects Silver
Geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan-and broader US-China trade frictions-are major drivers of silver price volatility and demand in 2025:
Safe-haven demand: Investors are turning to silver (alongside gold) as a hedge against geopolitical risk, trade war escalation, and potential supply disruptions.
Industrial risk: Tariffs and potential conflict threaten global electronics and solar manufacturing supply chains, both of which are major consumers of silver.
Strategic stockpiling: China’s accumulation of silver is partly a defensive measure in case of sanctions, trade blockades, or conflict with Taiwan and the US, ensuring access to critical industrial inputs.
Market impact: These factors have led to sharp price swings, with silver rallying nearly 4% in a single day during recent trade war escalations. Physical shortages are emerging, and above-ground inventories are at multi-year lows.
Summary Table
China’s industrial growth & stockpiling Increases global demand, tightens supply
China–Taiwan–US tensions Boosts safe-haven and strategic demand
Trade war/tariffs Disrupts supply chains, adds volatility
Physical inventory depletion Supports higher prices, risk of shortages
In summary:
Silver demand in 2025 remains robust, especially for industrial uses. China is the leading country stockpiling silver, buying directly from Latin America to secure supply amid falling domestic output and rising demand. The China–Taiwan conflict and US-China trade tensions are key catalysts, fueling safe-haven buying, strategic accumulation, and price volatility. These dynamics are likely to keep silver in a structural deficit and support elevated prices throughout the year.

Bullish Breakout from Falling WedgeThe euro/dollar exchange rate rose slightly to around 1.1320 during the European trading session, rebounding approximately 0.5% from the previous week's low of 1.126*. The US Dollar Index (DXY) declined simultaneously to 99.80, but still remains within the recent oscillation range.
1.1300 has become a key short - term support level. If it is broken, the exchange rate may decline to 1.12 or 1.11. The resistance above is in the range of 1.1450 - 1.1500.
The Trump administration's announcement of a 100% tariff on imported movies has exacerbated concerns about trade protectionism. Coupled with the market waiting for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision, the demand for the US dollar has been suppressed.
In the eurozone, the core HICP rose to 2.7% year - on - year in April (expected 2.5%), and the overall HICP reached 2.2% (expected 2.1%). However, the market still expects the European Central Bank (ECB) to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in June.
