Gold futures surged 2.5% as central bank buying added support. 4/1/26

Phillip Streible analyzes the recent bull run in Gold futures, noting a 2.5% surge driven by safe-haven demand, stagflation concerns, and a weaker dollar. He highlights the structural support from central banks purchasing roughly 60 tons per month and Western ETFs adding 500 tons since early 2025. Streible also examines the shifting interest rate landscape, where 10-Year Treasury yields have eased and CME FedWatch Tool data shows a collapsing probability for a September hike, now favoring a 20.5% chance of a cut. Finally, he discusses the surge in industrial metals, specifically Copper futures, fueled by China's manufacturing PMI expanding to 50.4, signaling renewed demand from the world's largest consumer of base metals.
