Market news: NEC, Anthropic, and Japanese financial institutions will collaborate on an artificial intelligence project.Futures Commentary by Everbright Futures: On June 10th, COMEX gold prices plummeted, approaching 4000 points, closing at $4094.1 per ounce, a drop of 4.49%. Domestic SHFE gold opened lower and continued to decline, breaking below 900 points, closing at 892.58 yuan per gram, a drop of 4.11%. 1. On Wednesday evening, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year in May, the largest increase since April 2023, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 2.9% year-on-year. Although the CPI report suggested that the oil price shock had not yet spread to broader economic sectors, mainly remaining confined to the transportation industry, providing more justification for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged until 2027, the market still bet on a Fed rate hike in October after the CPI data release, putting continued pressure on gold prices. 2. Geopolitically, Trumps dissatisfaction with the slow progress of US-Iran negotiations, threatening a "very strong" attack on Iranian infrastructure, has fueled renewed market concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict. This renewed geopolitical tension, coupled with expectations of a Fed rate hike, has dealt a double blow to gold, causing prices to fall rapidly again. However, the unusually weak performance of US stocks may force the Fed to be more cautious in its monetary policy rhetoric. With the Feds interest rate meeting next week, the market anticipates a hawkish stance that could further suppress gold prices. However, its also important to watch for unusual "buy the rumor, sell the fact" volatility in gold prices before and after the meeting.On June 11, in response to the critical issue that my countrys mainstream monitoring equipment and core methods for greenhouse gas monitoring and measurement have long relied on foreign technologies, making it difficult to achieve independent and accurate quality control of carbon emission monitoring data at the national, regional, and industry levels, the State Administration for Market Regulation organized leading domestic scientific and technological forces to carry out key technology research on integrated space-air-ground greenhouse gas concentration monitoring, emission inversion algorithms, and monitoring equipment. They successfully broke through the core technology of high-resolution domestic satellite CO2 and CH4 column concentration and emission inversion, breaking the foreign technological monopoly in the field of mesoscale CO2 flux detection lidar concentration and wind field synchronous detection.The Kuwaiti Civil Aviation Authority announced that flights suspended due to the Iranian attacks have resumed.June 11 – Peakfly Aviation announced today that its V2000CG Kerry-class aircraft has officially received its Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA), becoming the worlds first eVTOL aircraft to receive overseas type approval.

Berkshire Hathaway Discloses A Stake in HP; Shares Soar Almost 10%

HP shares increased 9.9 percent to $38.38 in after-hours trading on Berkshire's disclosure of the interest in SEC filings.


HP, headquartered in Palo Alto, California, has about 1.06 billion outstanding shares as of Jan. 31.


HP and Berkshire Hathaway did not immediately reply to calls for comment.


HP is Berkshire's third significant investment since Feb. 26, when Buffett said in his annual shareholders letter that "internal prospects provide far higher returns than acquisitions" and that stock markets "excite us little."


Berkshire agreed to acquire insurance business Alleghany (NYSE:Y) Corp for $11.6 billion in cash on March 21, bolstering its portfolio of insurers, which already includes Geico.


Berkshire previously disclosed a 14.6 percent position in Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY), a holding that cost well over $6 billion to acquire.


Buffett had gone six years without making a significant acquisition, leaving Berkshire with $146.7 billion in cash and equivalents. Buffett has vowed to maintain a cash reserve of at least $30 billion.


Berkshire did not specify whether the HP share is owned by Buffett or his portfolio managers Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, despite the fact that Buffett typically manages bigger assets.


Buffett is primarily responsible for Berkshire Hathaway's position in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), which he refers to as one of the "Big Four" firms that account for the majority of the value of his Omaha, Nebraska-based conglomerate.


Berkshire's insurers, the BNSF railroad, and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKa) Energy round up the "Big Four."
