Odaily Planet Daily reported that commodity markets declined across the board on Monday, with gold, silver, crude oil, and industrial metals leading the losses. CBA commodity strategist Vivek Dhar stated, "The market's decision to sell precious metals alongside US stocks suggests that investors perceive Warsh as more hawkish. Furthermore, a stronger dollar has also put pressure on precious metals and other commodities, including crude oil and base metals." However, he maintains his forecast that gold prices will reach $6,000 in the fourth quarter. Asian stocks followed US stock futures sharply lower, and the chaotic sell-off in precious metals added tension to the start of a week packed with corporate earnings reports, central bank meetings, and economic data. Dhar stated, "The key question is whether this marks the beginning of a structural decline in commodity prices or is merely a correction. We believe this is a correction and buying opportunity, rather than a fundamental shift." (Jinshi)

According to a research report by Barclays Bank, interest rate strategists predict that the U.S. Treasury will maintain its current issuance of interest-bearing bonds in the next quarter and throughout fiscal year 2026. Analyst Dhiraj Narula points out that this forecast is consistent with previous policy guidance, meaning that issuance has remained stable for two full years since the last increase in issuance between February and April 2024. Narula emphasizes in the report that the underlying fiscal situation in the U.S. remains severe. He notes, "The nearly $2 trillion annual deficit continues to put pressure on the U.S. Treasury in terms of debt issuance." While the current expectation is for the issuance to remain unchanged, Narula cautions that the U.S. Treasury stated last November that it had "begun to consider the possibility of future increases" in auction sizes. Therefore, the upcoming quarterly refinancing announcement may reveal the latest developments in these expansion plans. (Jinshi)
