【14:30】【Gold price analysis】Gold briefly reclaimed the $4,700 level. Analysis: Elevated bond yields limit the rebound space for gold price. Is the January high perhaps a historic high of the kind “only happens once in a generation”?
【13:17】【U.S. stock market analysis】Optimism for a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, and the Dow surged more than 1,000 points. Analysis: As long as the two oil-and-bond yield indicators keep moving downward, it reflects the market’s longer-term belief that a ceasefire is more likely.

$1 and below reflects U.S. stock market conditions as of March 31 ====
Tuesday: Iran’s president said he is willing to end the war as long as it ensures no further attacks. The Dow surged 1,125 points and the Nasdaq rose 3.8%. Oil prices fell back.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran is willing to end the war if it can ensure it will not face attacks again. U.S. President Donald Trump also reportedly sent signals of a ceasefire, intending to end military actions against Iran without the Strait of Hormuz having reopened. The market is expecting a ceasefire arrangement, and U.S. stocks rallied sharply on Tuesday: the Dow’s gains expanded to as much as 1,167 points; oil prices fell back.
The Dow closed up 1,125 points at 46,341; the S&P 500 rose 2.91%, and the Nasdaq jumped 3.83%.

Focus stocks: Large-cap tech stocks continued to rebound. Nvidia (U.S.: NVDA) rose 5.6%, and Tesla (Tesla) rose 4.6%; Meta (U.S.: META) surged 6.7% at the close. It announced it would invest $2 billion in chipmaker Marvell, boosting Marvell shares by 12.8%.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran said it has issued orders to treat companies and institutions related to 18 U.S. high-tech and artificial intelligence companies in the Middle East as targets for attack.
U.S. President Trump posted on the social platform Truth Social, saying: “For countries, such as the United Kingdom, that cannot obtain aviation fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz—for example, refusing to take part in Iran’s ‘decapitation operation,’ I have a suggestion for you: First, buy from the United States—we have plenty of oil; Second, have the courage to go to the Strait of Hormuz and take it. You must start learning to be self-reliant; the United States will not help you the way it used to, just as you did not help us back then.”
He added: “Iran has basically already been destroyed. The hardest part is already over,” urging those “staying on the sidelines” to get their own oil instead.
Foreign media reported that Trump told his aides that even if the Strait of Hormuz is basically closed, he is still willing to end U.S. military operations against Iran, raising hopes in the market that the conflict—now in its second month—will come to an end.
New York crude oil closed down 1.46% at $101.38; spot gold had risen as much as 3.9%, hitting $4,686.9.

Russia’s ambassador to Iran, Alexey Dedov, said in an interview with Russian media on Tuesday that Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is currently in Iran and is not, as some rumors claim, in Russia receiving treatment.
