Ouro atinge recorde histórico de US$ 4.200 por onça pela primeira vez
Metais preciosos disparam enquanto investidores fogem da volatilidade tradicional
O ouro finalmente quebrou a barreira psicológica que perseguia os traders há anos - US$ 4.200 por onça não é mais uma miragem no deserto financeiro, mas sim um novo patamar estabelecido.
O que impulsiona essa corrida dourada?
Enquanto os bancos centrais continuam sua dança monetária e governos acumulam dívidas como se não houvesse amanhã, os investidores inteligentes estão retornando ao ativo que nunca falha: ouro físico. Não é sobre especulação - é sobre preservação.
Os metais preciosos estão ensinando uma lição dolorosa para os céticos que apostaram tudo em moedas fiduciárias. Enquanto isso, os mesmos gestores de fundos que ridicularizavam o ouro agora correm para realocar portfólios.
Um lembrete amargo: o ouro nunca declarou falência, mas quantas moedas nacionais você viu desaparecer ao longo da história?
Precious metals climb as global traders brace for Fed cuts
Other metals followed the same rhythm. Silver rose 2% to $52.48, tracking the rally after touching a record $53.60 on Tuesday. Platinum climbed 1.3% to $1,658.65, and palladium edged up 0.9% to $1,538.75.
Over in stocks, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded slightly higher, up 11 points, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures stayed nearly flat. The calm came after a wild Tuesday, when President Donald Trump rattled markets by threatening China with a cooking oil embargo over stalled soybean purchases.
The statement flipped sentiment instantly. The S&P 500, which had swung between a 1.5% loss and a 0.4% gain, closed down 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.8%, while the Dow Jones managed a 0.4% rise, recovering from a sharp 1.3% morning dip.
Europe rebounds, Asia rallies, China struggles with deflation
Across Europe, stocks regained ground after a two-week slump. The Stoxx 600 was up 0.7% by 8:30 a.m. in London, lifted by luxury names in Paris and Milan. France’s CAC 40 rose 2.4%, Italy’s FTSE MIB gained 0.7%, Germany’s DAX added 0.2%, while Britain’s FTSE stayed near flat.
In France, political headlines took center stage after Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said his government would suspend the pension reform plan until after the 2027 election. The Socialists backed the delay and promised to support the administration in Thursday’s confidence vote.
In Asia, markets opened sharply higher. Japan’s Nikkei 225 jumped 1.76% to 47,672.67, and the Topix rose 1.58% to 3,183.64. South Korea’s Kospi surged 2.68% to 3,657.28, with the Kosdaq climbing 1.98% to 864.72.
Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 1.03%, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng advanced 2.06%, and the mainland CSI 300 increased 1.48% to 4,606.29. India’s Nifty 50 added 0.74%, completing a broad rebound across the region.
The exception was China, where the consumer price index fell 0.3% in September from a year earlier, worse than forecasts of a 0.2% decline, though easing slightly from August’s 0.4% drop.
On a monthly basis, prices increased just 0.1%, missing projections for a 0.2% gain. The ongoing slide in producer prices showed that deflation pressures remain, complicating Xi Jinping’s push to restore confidence in the economy.
