The US Tech 100 has gained 1.6%, driven by a resurgence in AI investments, suggesting a potential retest of record highs. Meanwhile, crude oil has rebounded amid easing US-China trade tensions, while gold prices have retreated as economic outlook improves. The Australian dollar shows positive momentum, and Bitcoin is consolidating after recent gains, with a bullish outlook for future highs.
Gold prices have plateaued amid improved risk appetite and recent US-China tariff de-escalation, prompting a recommendation to optimize gold allocations during price dips. Despite a stronger USD potentially cooling demand, robust medium-term gold demand persists, driven by central banks and ETFs. As USD strength may be temporary, diversifying out of USD into gold and other currencies is advised, with expectations of gold reaching USD 3,500/oz in the central scenario.
Wealthy clients at UBS are increasingly shifting their investment focus away from U.S.-dollar assets. Instead, they are turning to gold, cryptocurrencies, and opportunities in China, reflecting a significant change in their asset allocation strategies.
Deutsche Bank expresses a less favorable outlook on Colombia's peso compared to Brazil's real and Chile's peso, citing economic vulnerabilities tied to oil export reliance. While the peso shows signs of unexpected recovery, stagnant sovereign bond yields highlight ongoing fiscal challenges that could weaken the currency further. In contrast, Brazil and Chile benefit from strong commodity prices, suggesting a shift in investment focus within Latin America.
Investors are increasingly diversifying from U.S. assets to gold, cryptocurrencies, and Chinese markets, driven by trade tensions between the U.S. and China. UBS's Amy Lo noted a growing interest in China, while Morgan Stanley's Christina Au-Yeung highlighted improved market sentiment following a recent tariff truce. Both firms emphasize a shift towards risk budgeting among clients, reflecting heightened volatility in the market.

Morgan Stanley's Christina Au-Yeung notes improved market sentiment following a tariff truce, while advising a diversified asset allocation strategy amid increased volatility.
Gold prices have stabilized around $3,200 per ounce after reaching a record high of $3,450, influenced by easing trade tensions and reduced tariffs. Despite recent selling pressure indicated by technical analysis, buyers are maintaining support at this level, with future movements dependent on investor confidence in the Trump administration. A short position is suggested below $3,200, targeting $3,000 with a stop at $3,300.
UBS upgraded PBF Energy's stock rating from 'Neutral' to 'Buy' and raised the target price from $20 to $26, citing strong refining fundamentals and a significant recovery in refining margins. Despite a recent adjusted net loss of $3.09 per share, the company exceeded revenue expectations with $7.07 billion. PBF Energy's strategic plans include fully restarting its Martinez refinery by September 2025, while analysts remain optimistic about demand and market conditions.
Silver prices are under pressure as investors await US inflation data amid a recent tariff agreement between the US and China, which has seen significant reductions in reciprocal tariffs. The US has lowered tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China has reduced tariffs on US imports to 10%. Attention is now on the upcoming consumer price data, with economists predicting an inflation rate of 2.4% for April, which could influence future interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve.
The Australia 200 index rose 33 points to 8266, buoyed by a temporary US-China tariff reduction that alleviates trade tensions. Despite a morning surge to a ten-week high of 8314, traders showed caution, with the index now within 3.5% of its record high. Consumer confidence improved following an interest rate cut, while energy and technology stocks saw significant gains, reflecting positive market sentiment amid ongoing uncertainties regarding future trade agreements.
