The current US economy is at a critical juncture where multiple policy variables are intertwined: debt interest payments have exceeded historical peaks, the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy path is shrouded in mystery, and corporate profits are trying to find a balance between trade frictions and technological innovation. The game of these three dimensions not only affects the trend of core assets such as US stocks, US bonds, and the US dollar, but also reflects the deep contradictions between fiscal expansion, political intervention, and market rules in the US economy.

Against the backdrop of global economic and political uncertainty, gold, as a traditional safe-haven asset, is gaining new attention. From the soaring US fiscal deficit to the repeated fluctuations in trade policy, from the unclear path of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate to the continued increase in holdings by central banks around the world, multiple factors have jointly pushed gold prices to show strong resilience in a complex environment. This strengthening is not the result of a single variable, but a market picture woven together by the accumulation of fiscal risks, the rise in policy uncertainty and the reconfiguration of global capital.

On July 9th local time, the Federal Reserve released minutes from the June 17-18 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, showing that some officials support considering a rate cut at the July 29-30 meeting, but most officials believe that more economic data needs to be awaited to assess the impact of tariff policies on inflation. This statement contrasts with the strong expectations of the market for a rate cut in July, leading to a volatile pattern in gold prices in the Asian market early on July 10th – London gold surged to $3326.16 per ounce at one point, then fell back to around $3318.

The first non-farm report of Trump’s presidency released on Friday showed that US job growth accelerated in February and the unemployment rate rose slightly to 4.1%, but the increased uncertainty of trade policy and the large-scale layoffs of the US federal government may weaken the resilience of the labor market in the coming months. The seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls in the United States in February increased by 151,000, less than the expected 160,000. The total number of new jobs in December and January was 2,000 lower than before the revision. In addition, the US unemployment rate in February was 4.1%, higher than the expected 4%, the highest since November 2024. The annual rate of average hourly wages in the United States in February was 4%, lower than the expected 4.1%, and the previous value was revised down from 4.10% to 3.9%; the monthly rate was 0.3%, in line with expectations, and the previous value was revised down from 0.5% to 0.4%.

Gold prices fell to their lowest level in two weeks on Thursday as the dollar strengthened and investors waited for key inflation data for clues on the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. In the early U.S. trading, the short-term decline was nearly $13, falling below $2,870/ounce, and the intraday decline was more than 1.60% . On Friday, it hit a new low and once fell below $2,860/ounce. The U.S. dollar index rose by more than 0.5%, standing above the 107 mark, further away from the recent 11-week low, making gold denominated in U.S. dollars more expensive for holders of other currencies. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond rose by more than 1% at one point, weakening the relative attractiveness of gold, an interest-free asset.

The Federal Reserve maintains a “wait-and-see” stance, with the impact of Trump’s policies becoming a key variable in interest rate cuts. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee has explicitly stated that the Fed is currently in a “wait-and-see” state and will not take rash action until the comprehensive impact of the Trump administration’s series of new policies on the economy is clarified. These policies cover multiple dimensions such as trade tariff adjustments, immigration policy changes, tax structure optimization, government spending cuts, and federal employee layoffs. He emphasized that before making a decision to cut interest rates, the Federal Reserve must wait for the policy effects to be fully released until the situation “settles”.
