It’s been a long time since I shared some random thoughts, so here are a few. First, after the rate-hike news was announced during the session, the market launched a volume-backed rebound, with morning trading volume down by 50 billion before turning to an increase of 100 billion by late morning; second, technology and semiconductors did not follow the adjustment two days ago at a key level and instead rebounded, indicating that the bottom for this semiconductor move has been reached; third, gold closed above 4283, with support holding effectively, and is expected to fluctuate around 4340, while the daily and weekly trends remain intact; silver closed above 63.4 yesterday and rebounded after today’s pullback, currently retreating within the 63.4–66.1 range. For reference only. Markets carry risks, so exercise caution when entering. $XAUUSD
