Gold: Recovery needs softer Oil and peak Fed repricing – OCBC
Christopher Wong at OCBC notes Gold has rebounded about 5% as US‑Iran de‑escalation eased Oil-led inflation and rates shocks. He cautions that upside momentum may slow into the FOMC, with further gains dependent on softer Oil, lower yields and evidence Fed hawkish repricing has peaked. Key resistance lies around 4,394–4,580, with support at 4,200 and 4,024.
Upside hinges on macro easing signals
"Gold. Potential turn? Gold rebounded as US-Iran de-escalation narrative helped to unwind part of the oil led inflation and rates shock."
"The 5% rebound since Wed may potentially turn less even from here, with FOMC coming up while markets may shift focus from headline to details on US-Iran agreement."
"For gold to regain stronger upside momentum, a more durable improvement in the external environment is needed and this would include softer oil prices, yields to ease further and clearer evidence that Fed hawkish repricing has peaked."
"The latter will be a clear boost for gold prices – watch FOMC on Thu for clues."
"A sustained recovery above resistance at 4394 (23.6% fibo retracement of 2026 high to low), 4450 (200 DMA), 4580 (50 DMA) is needed to ease downside pressure. Otherwise, rallies may remain corrective. Support at 4200, 4024 (recent low)."

CoreWeave's quarterly report hits record highs, but Bernstein and HSBC still maintain "sell" ratings
The main concerns focus on three major issues: management claims an annual price of $20-25 million per megawatt, while actual financial data shows only $9.2 million; independent calculations by two institutions both indicate a financing gap of about $33 billion; by 2028, the market will see an influx of 55 gigawatts of new computing power, 20 times CoreWeave’s own capacity. With current debt at $46.9 billion and equity only $4 billion, and no free cash flow within this decade—the question of whether its scarce performance can last until the loans are repaid is something even strong quarterly reports cannot answer.
The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners
Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.
