Analyst: US Treasury Bonds Fluctuate Narrowly After CPI Release, Traders Still Bet on Fed Rate Cut in September
Jin10 News, May 13 - Analyst Michael Mackenzie stated that U.S. Treasury yields fell across the board by about 4 basis points. After the release of the CPI data, the 2-year Treasury yield remained below 4%, and the 10-year Treasury yield was within 4.45%. The market maintained a narrow range of fluctuations after the data release, as traders still expect the Federal Reserve to initiate a rate cut in September, by which time the impact of tariff policies on inflation and the economy will be clearer.

US Crude Oil: Range-bound volatility, buy on dips, sell on rallies
(1) Analysis: Shipping disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and the shutdown of approximately 1.3 million barrels per day of crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico are supporting a supply risk premium; however, signals of dialogue between the US and Iran are limiting further upside in oil prices, which are currently still in a low-level consolidation phase, mainly awaiting a stress test. (2) Key Focus: Geopolitical situation, inventory data, US dollar index, global crude oil supply, and OPEC+ policy. (3) Resistance: 91.00, 91.50, 92.00 (4) Support: 90.00, 89.00, 88.00
Spot gold: Range-bound fluctuations, sell on rallies, buy on dips
Reason for analysis: Spot gold rebounded near a two-month low, but the Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that most officials believe it may continue to raise interest rates this year. The strengthening of the US dollar and high US Treasury yields still exert pressure. The easing of tensions between the US and Iran has reduced some safe-haven demand. After technical indicators became oversold in the short term, there was a corrective rebound, but a reversal has not yet occurred, so the range-bound strategy is maintained. Key focus: US Treasury yields, US Dollar Index, geopolitical situation Resistance: 4200, 4230, 4270 Support: 4130, 4100, 4070
