PANews reported on March 29 that next Wednesday (April 2) is the day of Trump's reciprocal tariff announcement, which has investors more cautious due to uncertainty about the specific tariffs Trump will implement. Bank of America forex analysts Athanasios Vamvakidis and Claudio Piron stated in a report that risks are balanced before next week's deadline. Tariffs on specific products are already expected by the market. Comprehensive tariffs would be a negative surprise, and in this case, the US dollar is not expected to remain strong. Against the backdrop of high market risk aversion, gold has repeatedly set new highs this week, reaching a historical record of $3,086.75 per ounce, marking the 18th new high of the year, with a quarterly increase of 17%, the largest since 1986.
