Federal Reserve's Schmid: Must Clearly Communicate Resolve to Contain Inflation
BlockBeats News, May 29th, Federal Reserve's Schmiede said he would continue to closely monitor the persistent inflation and believes Fed officials should make it clear that they are willing to take all necessary measures to achieve price stability.
Schmiede pointed out: "Given that the inflation rate has been persistently above the Fed's 2% price stability target for over five years, now is not the time to lower our guard. We must continue to clearly communicate our commitment to maintaining price stability and our willingness to take necessary actions to fulfill our statutory mandate."
Schmiede also noted that due to the slowdown in immigration and the accelerated increase in the retirement population, the number of people seeking employment has decreased, and the current U.S. labor market is in a supply-demand balance. Schmiede had earlier stated this month that inflation is the "most pressing" risk facing the U.S. economy. (FXStreet)

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
