1️⃣ A packed week of macro events.

On the evening of January 30, the U.S. will release December PPI data, while Canada will announce November GDP figures.
2️⃣ Precious metals sentiment remains strong. Spot gold surged past USD 5,000/oz, reaching a peak near USD 5,043, a new all-time high. Goldman Sachs expects gold to climb to USD 5,400 by year-end, driven by ongoing central bank buying and rising investment demand, highlighting gold’s safe-haven and allocation value.
