Hello everyone, today XM Forex will bring you "[XM Forex Official Website]: Sufficient supply suppresses oil prices, the Federal Reserve's resolution is about to take place, and the gold price returns above 4210." Hope this helps you! The original content is as follows:

Basic news

On Wednesday (December 10, Beijing time), spot gold was trading around US$4,210 per ounce. On the eve of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision, the precious metal performed strongly. Spot silver rose sharply by 4.2% on Tuesday, breaking through the $60 per ounce mark for the first time; U.S. crude oil traded around $58.40 per barrel. Oil prices fell on Tuesday, with the market focusing on the progress of Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations, sufficient supply, and the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision.

Stock Market

U.S. stocks were mixed on Tuesday, with the market trading cautiously ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision. The S&P 500 edged down 0.09%, the Dow Jones fell 0.38%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq edged up 0.13%.

Investors generally expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 25 basis points this week, but are more concerned about the wording of its post-meeting statement. The market is worried that the interest rate cut may enter a "pause" stage. At the same time, the rise in the ten-year U.S. bond yield for the fourth consecutive day also suppressed market sentiment.

In terms of individual stocks, JPMorgan Chase’s stock price fell 4.7% after warning that expenses will increase significantly in 2026, becoming the main factor dragging down the market. The performance of technology stocks was divided, with Nvidia closing down 0.3% due to news related to its chip export policy. Warner Bros. Discovery rose 3.8% on market merger rumors.

Gold market

On the eve of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decision, the precious metals market performed strongly. Spot gold prices rose 0.5% to $4,208 an ounce on Tuesday.At $83, the market generally expects the Federal Reserve to announce an interest rate cut.

At the same time, spot silver prices rose sharply by 4.2%, breaking through the $60 per ounce mark for the first time and closing at a record high of $60.59. Analysts believe that strong industrial demand prospects (especially from industries such as solar energy, electric vehicles, data centers and artificial intelligence), continued tight supply, declining global inventories and expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve have jointly promoted silver's gains.

Platinum and palladium prices also rose simultaneously, rising 3% and 2.7% respectively.

The market focuses on the Federal Reserve’s December interest rate meeting. According to the CMEFedWatch tool, traders currently believe that the probability of a 25 basis point rate cut at this meeting is as high as 87.4%. In addition, the latest data showed that the number of job vacancies in the United States in October was higher than expected, highlighting the resilience of the labor market. This has made the market pay more attention to the Federal Reserve's guidance on the future policy path.

Oil market

Oil prices fell for the second consecutive trading day on Tuesday, with the market focusing on the progress of Russia-Ukraine peace negotiations, sufficient supply and the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision. As of the close, Brent crude oil fell 0.88% to US$61.94 per barrel; US crude oil fell 1.07% to US$58.25 per barrel.

The market is paying close attention to peace negotiations that may end the Russia-Ukraine war. Analysts worry that a deal and lifting of sanctions on Russia could free up more crude supplies, putting pressure on oil prices. In addition, after Iraq resumed production from its world-class oil fields, the market continued to worry about sufficient supply.

Although the Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates this week, which is usually good for oil demand, analysts are cautious about the short-term effect of rate cuts in boosting oil prices. Investors remained on the sidelines ahead of the resolution, expecting oil prices to fluctuate within a narrow range in the near term.

Foreign Market

The U.S. dollar rose on Tuesday, with the market focusing on U.S. economic data and central bank moves ahead of the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision. Better-than-expected U.S. job openings data for October highlighted the resilience of the labor market and solidified expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a hawkish stance even if it cuts interest rates, thereby supporting the dollar. The U.S. dollar index rose 0.1% to 99.21.

All eyes are focused on the upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The market is generally expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, but traders are more concerned about the "dot plot" it released for guidance on the future path of interest rates, and whether Chairman Powell will set a higher threshold for subsequent interest rate cuts. Investors are also lowering expectations for a significant interest rate cut in 2026.

The U.S. dollar climbed to near a two-week high against the yen, rising 0.6% to 156.845; the euro fell 0.1% against the U.S. dollar to 1.1629. The Australian dollar rose. The Reserve Bank of Australia kept interest rates unchanged on Tuesday and clearly ruled out the possibility of further interest rate cuts. Its hawkish stance pushed the Australian dollar up 0.3% against the US dollar to 0.6641.

After a strong earthquake occurred in northeastern Japan, the yen briefly strengthened due to risk aversion during Asian trading hours, but then gave up its gains.
