Japan begins first wave of investments under its $550 Billion commitment to the U.S.

Projects Announced:

  • Oil & Gas โ€“ Texas

  • Critical Minerals โ€“ Georgia

Impact on Markets:

โœ” Strengthens U.S. industrial base

โžก This reduces immediate recession fear

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Iranโ€“US Talks Continue Smoothly

Peace narrative continues.

Market Effect:

  • Risk premium fading

  • Safe-haven demand cooling

  • Gold not aggressively bought

  • No panic selling either

This confirms rotational behaviour around key magnet level.


๐Ÿงฒ The 4900$ Magnet Theory (Still Active)

Current structure:

  • Upside 5050$ โ†’ sellers appear โ†’ return to 4900$

  • Downside 4762$ โ†’ strong buyers โ†’ return to 4900$

Market is balancing.

Rotating.

  • Dollar Index: 97.22 (flat)

  • China Closed (Holiday) โ†’ Low liquidity โ†’ false breakouts possible

โžก Yields falling + Dollar flat = Gold may bounce
โžก But peace narrative caps rally

Conclusion: Expect bounce and pullback toward magnet zone.
