Today stock markets are being heavily influenced by Jerome Powell’s hawkish stance, as the surge in oil prices driven by tensions in the Middle East continues to push up core inflation.

This has weighed on Alibaba share performance today. I am not overly concerned, as I remain confident in holding the position.

As for gold, I see good opportunities to accumulate around the 4650 and 4550 levels and ride the upward momentum. Good luck everyone and happy trading 😁
