It's the old routine of the stock market falling and gold rising. Why does it feel like everyone is fleeing? --- U.S. and European stocks are both falling. What does this imply? Or is it simply that no one is watching the markets over the weekend? --- Gold and oil prices are rising. The bears are probably still dreaming, haha. --- It's time to scoop up safe assets. Or should we keep watching the show? --- EUR/USD only fell 0.18%? This dollar rebound is pretty weak. --- Currency depreciation and commodity prices rising—if the capital flow is this obvious, doesn't anyone understand? --- This weekend's decline isn't enough to watch; the real drama starts on Monday. --- Gold is taking off, friends. The term "economic uncertainty" is becoming more and more common.

Gold has risen again. What is this hinting at? Everyone is moving towards safe assets. The stock market's decline is really frightening.

Down again and again, the stock market is so boring Gold is surging fiercely, what are they afraid of Is everyone really panic-selling or just trying to bottom fish Where's the promised V-shaped reversal? Still nowhere to be seen The dollar is bouncing back again Oil prices are still rising, the energy sector can't die, right Wait a minute, this rhythm... is it going to break through? Every day it's safe-haven buying, who dares to take the plunge
