    Gold Prices and Bitcoin Growth

    Gold prices are under pressure, nearing $4,000 per troy ounce due to higher US Treasury yields and a reduction in US-China trade tensions. This situation has created a positive outlook for Bitcoin, which has grown by 57% in 2025. This growth could lead to more investments through ETFs and increased interest from companies. In corporate news, there is a merger happening between crypto broker FalconX and asset manager 21Shares. They hope to expand their products after the merger. Additionally, there are articles available about the best brokers for trading in 2025, highlighting options that cater to different trading needs such as low spreads and high leverage. In Russia, producer prices have dropped into negative territory, signaling weak industrial demand. This 0.4% year-over-year decline in prices may indicate lower energy prices ahead. Derivative traders may want to buy put options on crude oil futures to protect against a possible price drop in the near future.

    US Dollar and Market Volatility

    The ongoing US government shutdown and trade discussions are creating uncertainty, which often leads to market volatility. A similar scenario occurred in late 2018 when the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) increased by over 80% during that shutdown. Buying call options on the VIX might be a wise strategy to guard against unexpected market changes. With gold testing the $4,000 mark, it’s important to closely monitor rising US Treasury yields, as they raise the cost of holding gold. Recently, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rose by 15 basis points to 4.5%. This level has historically pressured non-yielding assets. Therefore, selling call spreads on gold futures could take advantage of a potential price ceiling in the near term. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
