Gold prices (XAUUSD) soared over a span of three trading days last week, reaching an all-time high of around $3,245 per troy ounce. However, today, the price fell to $3,209 per troy ounce in response to Trump\u2019s latest policy actions.<\/p>\n
The dynamics of the trade war have made Oil prices (CLS10) highly volatile over the past week, as they plummeted to around $55 per barrel before bouncing back above $61 per barrel.

Trump\u2019s delay on reciprocal policies towards all countries except China led to a surge in the EURUSD currency pair on Thursday and Friday of last week. At one point, this pair peaked at 1.14736, the highest level since February 2022.<\/p>\n
GBPUSD experienced a sharp rise over three consecutive days leading up to Friday of last week, and this morning also saw volatile movements. In addition to benefiting from positive sentiment due to the delay in reciprocal tariffs, pressure on the US dollar, as the Fed is anticipated to cut interest rates more aggressively, has also provided support for GBPUSD.<\/p>\n
The USDJPY pair suffered a significant drop on Thursday and Friday of last week, reaching its lowest level since late September 2023. The slowdown in inflation in the United States has caused market participants to expect the Fed to cut interest rates faster and more aggressively this year.<\/p>\n
The Nasdaq experienced turbulence last week in response to the dynamics of import tariffs. The delay of reciprocal policies drove the Nasdaq to its largest daily performance since January 2001 on Wednesday last week.<\/p>\n
