'Perfect storm' steers gold to another record high; silver jumps
Gold prices rose to an all-time high on Monday as a cocktail of factors from U.S. rate cut expectations, China's stimulus measures to geopolitical tensions lifted demand, with the momentum also carrying silver to a more than 11-year peak. Spot gold rose 0.9% to $2,435.96 per ounce as of 2:26 p.m. ET (1826 GMT) after hitting a record high of $2,449.89 earlier in the session. Data last week showed that U.S. consumer prices increased less than expected in April, suggesting that inflation resumed its downward trend, boosting expectations for a September interest rate cut.

Morning Bid: China clouds darken market mood
Broadly speaking, the global backdrop for Asian markets is still bright, with investors confident that the Fed will soon cut U.S. interest rates keeping the dollar, bond yields and volatility in check, and boosting risk assets. But there's a cloud that shows no sign of lifting: China. The economic "data dump" from Beijing on Friday showed that China's recovery is sputtering - investment growth slowed, retail sales expanded at the slowest pace since late 2022, and new home prices fell at the fastest rate in nine years.

Nvidia earnings could spark $200 billion swing in shares, options show
Traders are pricing in a big move for Nvidia’s shares after the chipmaker reports earnings on Wednesday, though expectations for volatility are more muted than in the past, U.S. options markets show. Nvidia's options are primed for an 8.7% swing in either direction by Friday, according to data from options analytics firm Trade Alert. While massive by most measures, that implied move would fall far short of the 16.4% jump Nvidia’s shares notched after the company’s most recent quarterly earnings report.

Dollar edges higher as investors await Fed guidance
NEW YORK (Reuters) -The dollar edged up against the euro on Monday as investors awaited further clues on the path of U.S. interest rates in the wake of cautious comments from Federal Reserve officials, even as inflation showed signs of cooling. Federal Reserve officials are not ready to say inflation is heading to the U.S. central bank's 2% target after data last week showed a welcome easing in consumer price pressures in April, with several on Monday calling for continued policy caution. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic said on Monday it will take a while for the Federal Reserve to be confident that inflation is on track back to its goal.
