Technical:
Dow: The three major U.S. stock indexes fell on Wednesday on concerns that global central banks will continue to raise interest rates to ease inflationary pressures. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.81% to 32,910.90. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.73% to 12,086.27. The US Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 1.08% to 4,115.77 points. The Dow's small band up to the bulls stepped back to the 32700 positions, focusing on the 34100 positions of the band bull's target.
USD: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond fluctuated higher to around 3.3%, and the U.S. dollar index remained high and fluctuated, closing up 0.176% at 102.57. The dollar is at the first-line pressure level of 103, and if the pressure level is effective, focus on the next target near 100.7.
Gold: The U.S. 10-year Treasury bond yield once again stood at the 3% mark, rising to 3.059% at one point in the session. The Feds interest rate hike and balance sheet reduction prospects and the high inflation environment continued to support U.S. bond yields. Rising Treasury yields weighed on gold prices. The price of gold is organized around $1850. If it stands firm at the support level of 1850, the first target position is 1863.
Crude oil: Crude oil prices rose significantly after the EIA inventory announcement. WTI crude oil closed up 2.45% at $123.22 per barrel; Brent crude oil closed up 2.32% at $125.72 per barrel. The crude oil market has repeatedly tested the pressure level of 108. At present, crude oil has exceeded the pressure level of 108. Pay attention to the historical high of US crude oil at 127. It is cautious to chase more crude oil from the historical high.
