On April 29, Jin10 reported that the World Gold Council released its Q1 2026 Global Gold Demand Trends report, indicating a net inflow in global physical gold ETFs, with holdings increasing by 62 tons. According to Jin10, Asian investors significantly contributed by purchasing 84 tons, while holdings in the European and American markets saw a slight decline. The net outflow in Western markets during March reversed the strong inflow seen at the beginning of the year. Despite high gold prices, global gold jewelry consumption demand fell by 23% year-on-year to 300 tons. Major markets worldwide experienced a cooling in gold jewelry demand. However, in terms of consumer spending, gold jewelry demand grew against the trend, suggesting that consumer willingness to purchase gold jewelry remains robust even at historically high prices.

On April 29, Jin10 reported that the Royal Bank of Canada anticipates the Bank of Canada will maintain its interest rates unchanged for the fourth consecutive time. Policymakers are closely monitoring the impact of rising energy prices on inflation. The overall CPI for April may exceed the 1% to 3% target range for the first time since December 2023. However, interest rate policies cannot influence global oil prices, and their economic impact is delayed, suggesting the central bank needs to base its monetary policy on future inflation levels rather than current ones. As long as inflation expectations and broader inflation pressures, excluding energy price increases, remain controlled, the Bank of Canada is expected to act cautiously. The Bank of Canada's business outlook survey indicates a rise in inflation expectations, but signs of further slowing in March's 'core' indicators should allow the bank to maintain policy flexibility while assessing new data against its recent forecasts. The first-quarter GDP growth largely aligns with January predictions, and recent data suggests a moderate economic momentum recovery. The labor market also shows signs of stabilization, but the unemployment rate remains low, insufficient to indicate increasing underlying inflation pressures, which means there is limited urgency for further policy adjustments in the short term.

Metaplanet's Bitcoin Strategy Head, Dylan LeClair, announced at the 'Bitcoin 2026' conference that the Japan Exchange Group (JPX) is seeking public feedback on a proposed regulation. According to Foresight News, the regulation aims to exclude companies with over 50% of their assets in cryptocurrencies from the Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX). This proposal could directly affect companies like Metaplanet, Remixpoint, and ANAP Holdings in their plans for inclusion in the October 2026 index. LeClair urged the global community to sign a joint letter on the Bitcoin for Corporations website, with the public consultation period ending on May 7. He expressed optimism about the outcome, noting Japan's generally pro-Bitcoin regulatory and policy stance.
