Gold prices continue to hit historic highs
Institutions are bullish at $3000
On August 20th local time, the three major stock indexes in the United States closed slightly lower. According to Wind data, as of the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.15%, the S&P 500 index fell 0.2%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.33%. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 index have ended their eighth consecutive rise. The market continues to pay attention to US stock reports, Federal Reserve meeting minutes, and Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Meeting.
Most large technology stocks in the US stock market have risen. Apple rose 0.24%, Amazon rose 0.37%, Netflix soared 1.45%, Google rose 0.31%, Meta fell 0.48%, and Microsoft rose 0.77%.

Most popular Chinese concept stocks fell. The Nasdaq China Golden Dragon Index fell about 4%. New energy vehicle stocks fell across the board, with NIO falling 5.28%, Xiaopeng Motors falling 5.97%, and Ideal Motors falling 5.4%.
In terms of commodities, international gold and silver prices have soared, and spot gold briefly hit a historical high above $2530 in early trading on the US stock market. International oil prices remain low, with Brent crude almost wiping out the gains since the beginning of this year. Concerns about Asian demand and ceasefire talks in the Middle East have put pressure on oil prices.
Citigroup analysts recently stated in a report that gold investor sentiment is expected to rise in the next three to six months, with gold prices expected to reach $3000 per ounce by mid-2025.
Patrick Yip, Senior Director of Business Development at the US Precious Metals Exchange, stated at the end of last month that if geopolitical uncertainty persists, interest rates are cut, or global central banks increase their purchases, gold prices could reach $3000 as early as next year.
Since the beginning of this year, the price of gold has risen by over 20%. Industry insiders believe that the recent surge in gold and silver is mainly due to market expectations that US policy makers will soon begin cutting interest rates. Recently, several Federal Reserve officials have hinted that a rate cut is imminent, especially hawkish committee member and Minneapolis Fed Chairman Kashkari, who stated that the weak job market has opened the door for a September rate cut. Investors generally expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates at next month's meeting. This expectation undoubtedly increases the attractiveness of high-yield gold in a low interest rate environment. In addition, the purchasing power of global central banks and the safe haven demand triggered by tensions in the Middle East have also provided strong support for the rise of gold.

After the US stock market closed, JD.com plummeted, with a drop of over 10% at one point.
