Impact on the Safe-Haven Asset Market As recent major U.S. price indicators for June, including the CPI (Consumer Price Index) and PPI (Producer Price Index), have shown some signs of moderation, investors' attention is focused on the direction of the safe-haven asset market ahead of the weekend. The biggest key factor that will determine the future direction of the market is the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate movements.

In addition, the trajectory of ongoing global geopolitical risks is also a major variable. According to recent foreign media reports, U.S. President Donald Trump is said to be considering even the option of deploying ground troops, and it remains to be seen what impact this will have on future safe-haven asset demand.
