Gold near fresh all-time highs ahead of US trading session
Gold’s price (XAU/USD) is seeing gains tick up trading near $2,952 at the time of writing, fueled by a weaker US Dollar (USD) and softening US yields in a reaction to the recent German federal election outcome. Although the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) has gained 20% of votes, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU) is comfortable in the lead with 208 seats against AfD’s 152. US yields dropped off and the CME Federal Reserve (Fed) Futures are now favoring a 25 basis points (bps) rate cut in June, where last week odds were rather for no rate cut in June.
Meanwhile, traders will watch the US Gross Domestic Product (GBP) release for the fourth quarter of 2024 later this week. Given the recent slowdown in US activity and economic data (for example, the softer Services Purchase Managers Index (PMI) reading on Friday), another drop in US yields could be triggered, with markets anticipating the Federal Reserve lowering its monetary policy rate to boost the economy and demand. The US dollar weakened after several reports and economic data points last week revealed that US business activity slowed and consumer confidence waned, with expectations for inflation surging and markets pricing in more rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year.

Cartier Reimagines an Icon: The Ruby-Set ‘Juste un Clou’ Debuts for Lunar New Year
A Fusion of Industrial Rebellion and Festive Elegance Marks a Limited-Edition Celebration of Luck and Prosperity.
In a bold intersection of high-fashion defiance and cultural tradition, Cartier has unveiled a limited-edition interpretation of its legendary Juste un Clou collection. This special release sees the iconic “nail” silhouette transformed with a festive row of vivid red rubies, launched specifically to commemorate the Lunar New Year.
Originally conceived in 1970s New York by designer Aldo Cipullo, the Juste un Clou has long been a symbol of the “rebellious spirit” and the elevation of the ordinary into the extraordinary. By integrating rubies—stones that traditionally symbolize luck, vitality, and renewal—Cartier effectively bridges its radical Western design heritage with the deep-rooted values of the East.
The collection features the signature wrap-around nail design in gold in bracelets, necklaces, earrings & rings with the “head” and “point” of the nail meticulously pavé-set with high-quality rubies. Industry experts view this move as a strategic masterstroke, as the “festive red” aesthetic continues to be a primary driver for luxury consumption during the spring transition.
