Risk-On Sentiment Returns: #Equities Rally, #PreciousMetals Firm, and #CrudeOil Slides

Markets are reversing last week’s late selloff, with equities rallying more than 2%, crude oil futures falling 3.5%, and both gold and silver gaining approximately 1%. Meanwhile, the underlying fundamentals for gold remain compelling. China continues to aggressively accumulate gold reserves, reinforcing its long-term commitment to diversifying its holdings. See the Bloomberg article linked below. Adding to the bullish narrative, Poland’s central bank Governor Adam Glapiński made some notably positive comments about gold, emphasizing that increasing the country’s gold reserves strengthens Poland’s financial credibility and that he sees little reason to stop buying.

Central bank demand continues to provide a powerful structural tailwind for gold, even as short-term market volatility persists.
