According to a research report by Huatai Securities, as reported by Odaily Planet Daily, on January 30th Beijing time, Trump announced the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chairman. Two possible changes with Warsh's appointment include: 1) A potential shift in the Fed's policy stance, with Warsh possibly attempting to push for a "rate cut + balance sheet reduction" policy combination. 2) Smoother communication with the president. However, some fundamental logic and the medium-term policy framework will remain unchanged: 1) The Trump administration's commitment to protecting capital markets and broad liquidity will remain unchanged, and the overall monetary policy stance will remain relatively loose (relative to the strength of the economy). 2) In the medium term, the erosion of the Fed's independence and the downward trend in the intrinsic value of the dollar are unlikely to change.

Gold suffered its biggest drop in 40 years on Friday, while silver recorded a record intraday plunge, marking a sharp reversal of the rally that had driven gold prices to record highs. Investor enthusiasm for precious metals over the past year has reached record highs, shocking experienced traders and causing unusual price volatility. Investors had been flocking to the metals market after Trump signaled tolerance for a weaker dollar, but the dollar's rebound dampened their sentiment. Traders viewed Warsh as the most steadfast inflation fighter among the final candidates, increasing expectations of monetary policy support for the dollar and weakening the support for dollar-denominated gold. "Trump's nomination of Warsh as the next Fed chair is good for the dollar and bad for precious metals," said Akash Doshi, global head of gold and metals strategy at State Street Investment Management. "This could also be exacerbated by month-end portfolio rebalancing—as shorting the dollar and going long on precious metals has been the consensus macro trade for the past two to three weeks."

According to CCTV News, on January 31st, local time, several departments of the US federal government ran out of operating funds in the early hours of January 31st. Due to the lack of a new budget, several US government departments have again entered a shutdown. This comes less than three months after the end of the longest government shutdown in US history last year, lasting 43 days. Even if the new budget currently being voted on in Congress is successfully passed, some departments will only receive funding for two weeks. In other words, the US government may face its third shutdown in the short term in just half a month.
