SINGAPORE - Gold hit a record and bonds rallied on Wednesday as markets prepared for global interest rates to fall, while stocks in Taiwan slipped after U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump sounded lukewarm in his commitment to the island's defence.
"It's hard to imagine USDCNH ending 2024 below 7.25 on a Trump victory in November but it's not hard to imagine it closing above 7.50," he said, referring to the dollar-yuan pair. Lower yields helped propel gold sharply higher overnight and through chart resistance around $2,450 per ounce despite a broadly firm dollar. It touched a record $2,478 in Asia trade on Wednesday.
The euro was steady at $1.0925. Oil prices slipped slightly, weighed by signs of weakening demand from China.
