On April 18, global markets saw a significant rebound over the past week, driven by expectations of easing tensions in the Middle East, but core uncertainties remain unresolved. Iran had announced the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a rapid decline in oil prices, a broad strengthening of risk assets, new highs in US stocks, a weaker dollar, and gold approaching the $4,900 mark. However, Iran subsequently signaled that it remains under military control, combined with the US maintaining its blockade on Iran, which has heightened market concerns about the fluctuating situation. On a macro level, the biggest variable next week will still be the progress of US-Iran negotiations. President Trump indicated that negotiations could advance over the weekend and warned that if an agreement is not reached by next Wednesday, the ceasefire may end, and the risk of renewed conflict exists; meanwhile, Iran's stance on the negotiations remains cautious, particularly regarding key issues such as uranium enrichment. The market has shifted from pricing in 'escalation of conflict' to 'pricing in a path to de-escalation,' but any sudden changes could still trigger significant asset volatility. In terms of interest rate expectations, the decline in energy prices has alleviated inflationary pressures, with the market's expectation for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve this year rising to about 60%. Additionally, Kevin Warsh, the nominee for Federal Reserve Chair, will attend a Senate hearing next week, and his policy stance (especially whether it leans dovish) will be an important variable affecting gold and risk assets. Key upcoming data includes: Tuesday at 20:30, US March retail sales month-on-month; Thursday at 20:30, initial jobless claims for the week ending April 18; Thursday at 21:45, preliminary April S&P Global Manufacturing/Services PMI; and Friday at 22:00, final April University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index and one-year inflation expectations. In the short term, the market's main focus will revolve around three key variables: progress in US-Iran negotiations, oil price trends, and signals from the Federal Reserve.
