Tradingkey - SpaceX (SPCX) is beginning to show signs of cooling down after its strong post-listing rally. Yesterday (June 17), SPCX recorded its first full-session decline since listing, with its share price closing down 4.95% at $191.82, after hitting an intraday low of $187—a pullback of approximately 15% from its previous peak of $225.64. In pre-market trading today, SPCX continued to weaken, slipping over 3% at one point. This indicates that short-term profit-taking is accelerating, and market sentiment has shifted from the previous one-sided chasing of gains to growing divergence.

TradingKey - During the Asian session today (June 18), gold prices (XAU/USD) maintained an intraday rebound, boosted by positive news regarding the potential early signing of a US-Iran agreement. This recovered most of the losses from Wednesday's plunge triggered by the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, with intraday prices rebounding from Wednesday's low of $4,219 to $4,329.9 at one point. On the technical front, $4,360 represents a key near-term resistance for bulls; only a breakthrough above this level can open up further upside for gold prices.
