On Thursday, market trading was light after the Christmas holiday, and the US dollar index continued to hover around a two-year high, ultimately closing down 0.045% at 108.09. The yield of US Treasury bonds closed slightly lower, with the two-year yield closing at 4.332% and the 10-year yield closing at 4.582%. On Friday (December 27th Beijing time), spot gold trading was around 2632.69, returning from the Christmas holiday. The gold price was driven by safe haven demand, and the market was waiting for signals from the upcoming Trump administration's US economy and the Federal Reserve's 2025 interest rate strategy. Israel is committed to clearing Houthi militants in Yemen, which boosted the gold price in the short term. International crude oil showed a inverted trend, as the strong US dollar offset hopes for additional fiscal stimulus from China. WTI crude oil failed to stabilize at the 70 level and ultimately closed down 0.54% at $69.54 per barrel; Brent crude oil closed up 0.38% at $72.86 per barrel.
