Euro fades post-election; USD dips; gold hits record on safe-haven demand.

On Monday, the US dollar index fluctuated above the 106 level, ultimately rising slightly by 0.02% to 106.67. The yield of US Treasury bonds slightly declined, with the benchmark 10-year yield closing at 4.410%; The two-year US Treasury yield, which is more sensitive to monetary policy, closed at 4.185%. Gold prices rose 0.56% on Monday, hitting a record high of $2956.01 per ounce during trading, fueled by safe haven demand triggered by US President Trump's tariff plan and an increase in holdings of the world's largest gold backed exchange traded fund (ETF) to a new high since August 2023. Due to the new sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran and Iraq's commitment to balance the previous overproduction situation, the market's concerns about recent supply shortages have intensified. Oil prices closed higher on Monday, recovering some of the losses from last Friday. WTI crude oil returned above $70, ultimately closing up 0.91% at $70.81 per barrel; Brent crude oil closed up 0.68% at $74.96 per barrel.
