Next Week's Macro Outlook: Focus on the FOMC Minutes Amid Low Liquidity Summary Despite the approaching holiday, gold, silver, and platinum prices continue to hit record highs. Next week, liquidity will remain low, with attention on the FOMC meeting minutes, US unemployment claims, and manufacturing PMI data. Market participants should watch for policymakers' inflation concerns and timing of rate cuts. PANews December 27 News: Despite the holiday season with Christmas and New Year’s, gold, silver, and platinum prices surged to historic highs, continuing the historic rally of precious metals at year-end. Looking ahead to next week, with New Year’s Day approaching, there are virtually no major macroeconomic data releases. Global financial markets will remain in an extremely low liquidity state, with trading volumes expected to be significantly below normal levels. The true start of the 2026 market trend may have to wait until the second week of January. Here are the key points to watch in the coming week: Tuesday 03:00 AM, Federal Reserve releases the FOMC meeting minutes; Wednesday 21:30, US initial jobless claims for the week ending December 27; Friday 22:45, US December S&P Global Manufacturing PMI final. Due to Christmas and New Year’s, no Federal Reserve officials will be speaking next week, and the same applies to major central banks. Notably, the Federal Reserve will release the December meeting minutes. These minutes will be closely scrutinized as investors seek clues about the timing of the next rate cut and gauge how concerned policymakers are about inflation, especially those voting to keep rates unchanged. It is crucial to select a person who can reach consensus within the highly divided Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). However, regardless of whom Trump chooses, the new Fed Chair is almost certain to be more dovish than Powell, so this announcement may pose relatively low risk to the market. #加密行情预测
