According to reports, on the evening of October 9 local time, Hamas senior official and chief negotiator Khalil Hayya announced a ceasefire agreement. The Israeli government approved the Gaza ceasefire agreement early on the 10th. Baocheng Futures pointed out that the short-term ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has led to a rapid cooling of geopolitical tensions, coupled with a significant increase recorded earlier, resulting in strong profit-taking willingness among bulls in the short term. Huatai Futures stated that after gold prices reached a historical high, profit-taking sentiment may temporarily suppress gold prices, but the current risk premium and the main logic of the Federal Reserve's easing have not changed significantly, and prices are expected to rise further in the future
