Continue to short gold below 3300

Gold prices fell to a four-week low, but rebounded slightly
Spot gold: Today's lowest hit $3247/oz (the lowest since May 29), and then rebounded to $3296/oz.

Risk aversion cooled, trade easing suppressed gold prices

US-China trade easing: China and the United States reached an agreement on rare earth exports, boosting the stock market (S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new highs), weakening the safe-haven demand for gold.

G7 tax agreement: Reduce global policy uncertainty, further suppress gold prices.

Trump terminated trade negotiations with Canada and threatened to impose tariffs, which temporarily boosted risk aversion.

Expectations of a Fed rate cut have increased, but short-term hawkish remarks have brought pressure

The market expects a 92.5% probability of a rate cut in September (65-75 basis points for the whole year), but Powell said that the impact of tariffs needs to be waited and see, and the probability of a rate cut in July is only 20%.

Trump said he would appoint a Fed chair who is "willing to cut rates," adding to policy uncertainty.

Geopolitical risks remain

Iran situation: Trump's threat to "bomb Iran again" and abandon sanctions relief has temporarily supported gold prices.

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict continues, but the market has partially digested the risk.

Upside support:

Geopolitical risks (Iran, Russia-Ukraine conflict) may trigger safe-haven buying.

Fed rate cut expectations still provide long-term support for gold.

Key variables:

July 9 The deadline for US tariff negotiations is on July 15. If no consensus is reached, it may trigger risk aversion in the market.

Fed policy signal: If economic data is weak, expectations of rate cuts may drive gold prices back up.

Short-term traders: Pay attention to the breakthrough of the $3245-3280 range. If it rebounds to around $3,300, you can consider shorting on rallies. If it falls below $3,245, it may accelerate downward.
