UK house prices saw an unexpected rise in March, according to data from one of Britain's largest mortgage lenders. Despite the onset of the Iran conflict, demand appeared resilient, with the average house value increasing by 0.9% to £277,186, surpassing the previous month's 0.3% rise. This marks the largest increase since December 2024, defying economists' expectations of stability. According to Jin10, the report provides an early snapshot of UK housing demand following the February 28th Israeli attack on Iran. The conflict has raised borrowing costs and caused global market turbulence, yet buyers showed strong resilience initially. On an annual basis, house prices rose by 2.2%. Private sector data indicates that despite weak official figures in January, particularly in London, the UK real estate market started the year positively. The Bank of England reported that housing loans grew in February for the first time in five months.#UKHousePrices #HousingMarket #IranConflict #RealEstate #Mortgage #UKEconomy #HousePriceSurge #BankOfEngland #PropertyMarket #MarketResilience

🚀 Goldman Sachs Maintains Bullish Outlook on Gold Despite Recent Sell-Off
#Gold #GoldPrices #GoldOutlook #GoldInvestment #CentralBanks #InterestRates #Geopolitics #MarketVolatility #GoldDemand #BullishOutlook
Goldman Sachs has maintained its optimistic stance on gold, predicting a resurgence in prices by the end of 2026, according to Jin10. Analysts Lina Thomas and Daan Struyven highlighted that the medium-term outlook for gold remains robust. They attribute this to continued gold purchases by central banks and the expectation of two more interest rate cuts in the U.S. this year, which could push gold prices to $5,400 per ounce.
However, the analysts warned of short-term 'tactical downside risks' for gold prices, particularly if energy supply shocks worsen, potentially driving prices down to $3,800 per ounce. Despite these risks, they noted that geopolitical tensions, such as a potential war involving Iran, could lead countries to diversify away from 'traditional Western assets,' thereby increasing gold's upward potential.
The report also addressed concerns about some central banks possibly selling gold to support their currencies, suggesting that such fears are unlikely to materialize. Instead, Gulf countries are more inclined to intervene by reducing their holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds. Assuming no additional private sector investment, the analysts expect medium-term price volatility to moderate, allowing the pace of official sector gold purchases to accelerate again, with an average monthly purchase of about 60 tons.#Gold #GoldPrices #GoldOutlook #GoldInvestment #CentralBanks #InterestRates #Geopolitics #MarketVolatility #GoldDemand #BullishOutlook

Australian stocks saw a slight increase on Tuesday as investors bought at lower levels, according to Jin10.

The S&P/ASX200 index fell 7.8% in March, with energy stocks being the only major sub-index to rise, driven by higher oil prices, marking an 18.5% increase and the best performance since April 2020.

The South Korean won has fallen to a 17-year low against the U.S. dollar during Asian trading hours, driven by escalating concerns over economic growth due to ongoing Middle East conflicts. According to Jin10, two foreign exchange strategists from OCBC Bank's research department noted in a report that investors are currently more focused on the risks of slowing economic growth rather than a new wave of inflationary pressure from energy shocks. The strategists highlighted that the current sell-off is heavily impacting pro-cyclical currencies like the won. They added that the prolonged nature of the Iran conflict, which has evolved from a mere volatility event to a deep-seated growth risk, is prompting global markets to gradually reprice the situation.#SouthKoreanWon #17YearLow #MiddleEastConflict #EconomicGrowth #CurrencySellOff #InflationaryPressure #ProCyclicalCurrencies #IranConflict #GlobalMarkets #AsianTrading

🚀 Middle East Conflict Raises Concerns Over Economic Growth, U.S. Treasury Yields Decline
#MiddleEastConflict #EconomicGrowth #USTreasuryYields #Inflation #OilPrices #Stagflation #JOLTSData #GlobalEconomy #ConsumerDemand #Tradeweb #SimCorp
Due to escalating concerns over economic growth amid Middle East conflicts, U.S. Treasury yields fell during the Asian trading session. According to Jin10, investors are closely monitoring the JOLTS job openings data. A month after the outbreak of war between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, there are no signs of the situation cooling down. High oil prices may not only drive inflation but also slow global economic growth by weakening consumer demand. Olivier Assier from SimCorp noted in a report that the initially unlikely scenario of stagflation is becoming increasingly credible. According to Tradeweb data, the yield on two-year U.S. Treasury notes fell by 2.1 basis points to 3.806%, while the yield on ten-year notes decreased by 1.9 basis points to 4.322%.#MiddleEastConflict #EconomicGrowth #USTreasuryYields #Inflation #OilPrices #Stagflation #JOLTSData #GlobalEconomy #ConsumerDemand #Tradeweb #SimCorp
