Trump's Attitude Takes a Sudden Turn! Gold Prices Surge and Fall Back—Has It Really Topped Out?

Source Tradingkey

TradingKey - Trump's stance on tariffs and the Fed has softened. Gold prices have dropped and may fall to $3,000.

During the Asian session on Wednesday, President Trump’s comments on tariffs and Powell weakened safe-haven demand. Spot gold (XAUUSD)fell over 1%, hitting a low of $3,315 per ounce.

On Tuesday, during the swearing-in ceremony for SEC Chair Atkins, Trump expressed disappointment over the Fed not cutting rates faster. However, he stated he has no plans to fire Chairman Powell. He told reporters, "The media always messes things up. I’m not planning to fire him. I want to see him more aggressive on rate cuts."

Additionally, the White House announced progress in tariff agreements with Japan and India, though final deals may take months. Trump's tone toward China has softened. He clarified that tariffs on Chinese goods won't reach 145% and will decrease significantly, but won't drop to zero.

This shift in Trump's attitude has reduced market risk aversion, boosting the dollar and U.S. stocks, while putting pressure on gold prices. In the previous trading session, gold surged to $3,500 before retreating. Currently, multiple technical indicators like RSI and MACD suggest gold is overbought, indicating a potential pullback to around $3,000.

Anthropic files for a $2 trillion IPO — the $80.7 billion loss is the decoy, the $450 billion compute bill is the riskAnthropic publicly filed its S-1 on October 26, revealing $16.29 billion of first-half revenue (+1,304% year over year) and a $80.7 billion net loss — of which $72.4 billion is a non-cash convertible-note charge. The real number is the $450 billion of signed, mostly non-cancelable compute commitments. Here is what the filing says, why NVDA, ARM and MU are the tradeable read-through, and the conditions that decide whether the AI trade passes its first public valuation test.

Brent's $115 front month sits $4.6 above January — the $14 spread to WTI is the supply-risk premiumDecember Brent trades at $115.29 while January is $110.71, a $4.58 backwardation. The December Brent-WTI spread is $14.2, versus a $3-5 normal. That gap, not the headline, is where the Middle East supply risk is priced. Here is what the curve says, why the December contract's expiry on October 30 will mechanically cut the headline by $4.6, and the 108.81 neckline that decides the next move.
