February 4th - Barbara Hampton, CEO of U.S. Rare Earth Corporation, stated that the company has over $3 billion in potential funding to build a domestic rare earth and critical mineral supply chain. Hampton anticipates that the funding includes up to $1.6 billion in grants from the U.S. Department of Commerce, with the remainder coming from the private sector. She stated that this would enable the Round Top deposit to begin production by 2028. She said, "Our current communications indicate that the U.S. government is willing to make procurement commitments several years earlier to ensure supply stability." Following the governments announcement of a $12 billion critical mineral reserve plan, the companys stock price rose over 17% on Tuesday. It should be noted that federal funding is contingent on achieving phased goals, and private sector investments have not yet been finalized. However, Hampton emphasized that this funding will allow the company to accelerate its plans.A U.S. judge issued a temporary restraining order restricting Portland, Oregons Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency from taking any action against peaceful protesters and journalists.OpenAI issued a statement regarding the ChatGPT outage: All affected services have now been fully restored.AMD (AMD.O) CEO Lisa Su: We expect to expand our artificial intelligence business to tens of billions of dollars in sales annually by 2027.AMD (AMD.O) CEO Lisa Su: The company is in a favorable position, and the annual growth rate of data center business revenue is expected to exceed 60% in the next three to five years.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD consolidates above $2,000 as investors await initial US S&P PMI data

During the Asian session, the price of gold (XAU / USD) is oscillating above the psychological resistance of $2,000.00. After a gradual increase, the price of gold has leveled off near $2,005.00 as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States.

 

S&P500 futures have added some gains during the Asian session following three consecutive declines. As a result of Elon Musk's price-cutting frenzy, Tesla's revenue projections were gloomy, which dampened market sentiment. Near 101.77, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has extended its correction. The USD Index has been consolidating in a range between 100.90 and 102.03 for the past several trading sessions. Therefore, a move that exceeds the previously specified limit will be considered decisive.

 

The subdued USD index weighs on US Treasury yields as well. The demand for U.S. government bonds has increased as weekly unemployment claims have increased. The number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits rose to 245K, exceeding the consensus estimate of 240K. This indicated a softening in the labor market and bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will not raise interest rates after the monetary policy meeting in May.

 

In the future, the publication of the preliminary US S&P PMI data will determine the impact of the Fed's rate hikes on the scope of economic activity. According to projections, the Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI will decline to 49.0 and 51.5, respectively. A preliminary PMI reading that is weaker than anticipated could impact heavily on the U.S. dollar.
