In precious metals, COMEX gold futures fell 0.73%, closing at $4463.5 per ounce, while silver futures declined more sharply, dropping 3.81% to $77.95 per ounce.
Additionally, on January 7 local time, the White House released a statement indicating that US President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations that "no longer serve US interests." The memorandum covers 35 non-UN organizations and 31 UN agencies, with relevant administrative departments ordered to cease participation and funding.
