Analyst: The reason for the short-term plunge in spot gold prices is unclear
ME News reported on February 13 (UTC+8) that Adam Button, an analyst from the American financial website investinglive, stated that gold prices plummeted suddenly for unknown reasons. This led to a comprehensive rise in the dollar. The drop in gold prices and the strengthening of the dollar may be triggered by overall risk-averse sentiment. After the US stock market opened nearly flat, it subsequently fell sharply. The drop in gold prices also sparked speculation about leaks from the CPI report, and this decline might occur after the release of a hot report, but I am skeptical about it. Regardless of the driving factors behind this move, it has intensified people's concerns that 'nothing is secure.' I believe the catalyst was Microsoft's stock price falling 12% in a single day. Since then, we have seen continuous concerns about industry turmoil. The software industry has been under constant pressure, but now the logistics and transportation sectors are also being impacted. It is possible that someone working as a software engineer was forced to liquidate their gold positions. (Gold Ten) (Source: ME)

ME News Message, February 13 (UTC+8), Despite signs of resilience in the U.S. labor market suggesting the Federal Reserve may remain on hold for a long time, the dollar continues to weaken. Corpay strategist Karl Schamotta stated: "This indicates that bearish sentiment is deeply entrenched and poses a warning to those, including us, who expect that strong fundamentals in the U.S. will provide support. Measured against historical standards, the dollar's decline so far remains moderate, and if market sentiment does not change, there is still room for further downside." (Jinshi) (Source: ME)
ME News message, February 12 (UTC+8), Bank of America economists pointed out that investors' speculation about a possible "collaborative agreement" between the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury is raising questions. The bank believes that such agreements are "not clearly defined" and that the likelihood has likely already been absorbed by the market. "Unless the content of the agreement exceeds the current market discussion scope, any new agreement is unlikely to trigger substantial price fluctuations." Bank of America stated that the agreement will mainly focus on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet reduction and U.S. Treasury bond issuance. Economists expect that if monetary policy is affected (the bank believes the likelihood is very low) or the Treasury restricts long-term bond issuance (Bank of America believes there is a possibility), the impact on the market will be greater.

Junhe Legal Review | New Regulations on Virtual Currencies and RWA Issued - Opening the Door for Domestic Quality Assets to be Tokenized Overseas
RWA tokenization itself can divide the relevant rights of assets into smaller shares, lowering the investment threshold and thereby attracting more investors.
On February 6, 2026, the central bank and eight ministries jointly issued a notification (on further preventing and handling risks related to virtual currencies) (Yin Fa [2026] No. 42, hereinafter referred to as "Document No. 42"), while the Securities Regulatory Commission also simultaneously issued regulatory guidelines (on the issuance of asset-backed securities tokens for domestic assets overseas) (hereinafter referred to as "Guidelines for Domestic Asset Tokenization"). Since the issuance of the notification (on further preventing and handling risks of speculation in virtual currency trading) (Yin Fa [2021] No. 237, hereinafter referred to as "Notification 924") on September 24, 2021, the regulatory framework for virtual currencies in the domestic context has become increasingly clear and complete. Nearly five years later, after further understanding the industry ecosystem, domestic regulatory agencies have clarified business types not explicitly covered by "Notification 924" and have made clear regulations on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). The issuance of "Document No. 42" completely replaces "Notification 924" and, together with the "Guidelines for Domestic Asset Tokenization," forms a complete framework for the regulation of virtual currencies and RWA tokenization domestically.

ME News Message, February 12 (UTC+8), Jan De Vries, a strategist at Rabobank, pointed out that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has committed to implementing responsible fiscal policies, and the Bank of Japan may further raise interest rates, which should strengthen the yen. De Vries stated that Takaichi's victory in the recent early election allows her to distance herself from the campaign debate sparked by the more lenient fiscal stance of the main opposition party. "Another reassuring factor is Japan's massive domestic savings." With the Bank of Japan possibly raising interest rates further this year, De Vries expects the dollar to yen exchange rate to drop from the current 153.23 to the 145 level within 12 months.
