June 10 - Goldman Sachs Asset Management strategist Tim Urbanowicz stated that while the recent surge in overall and core inflation is significant and poses headwinds to the economy and cyclical sectors, the driving force from the AI investment cycle, the potential benefits of the Beauty Act, and the lagged effects of the Federal Reserves rate cuts continue to provide strong support.June 10th - US May CPI data showed inflation surging to a three-year high, but a moderate rise in core prices eased Wall Streets concerns about interest rate hikes. Todays CPI data and tomorrows PPI index are expected to influence the Federal Reserves policy stance, which will be announced at the Fed meeting chaired by Warsh for the first time in a week. According to CME FedWatch, prior to the release of the CPI inflation data, the market had already priced in a 70% probability of a Fed rate hike by the end of 2026. However, the market believes that a rate hike at next weeks meeting is highly unlikely, with only a 13% probability of a rate hike at the July meeting. The short-term focus is on whether the Fed will clearly shift from an easing stance to a neutral or tightening stance at the upcoming meeting. This weeks CPI and PPI inflation data, as well as the progress of US-Iran negotiations, may influence the balance between neutral and tightening.Fed mouthpiece Nick Timiraos: May core CPI rose 0.21% month-over-month, very close to expectations, pushing the 12-month core CPI annual rate to 2.9%.German Chancellor Merz: The Future Combat Air System (FCAS) project will continue to be pursued as a European system.

China's problems slow copper's comeback while gold prices rise

Gold prices recovered from two-year lows on Tuesday as the dollar's rally stalled, while Chinese industrial activity news halted copper's comeback.


Spot gold rose 0.5% to $1,629.96 per ounce, while futures were unchanged at $1,635.25 per ounce (01:57 GMT). Both instruments rebounded from their lows since early 2020 as dollar pressure eased.


The dollar index fell after reaching a 20-year high Monday. This year, a slump in major asset classes and rising interest rates boosted the dollar's safe-haven demand, allowing it to surpass gold.


Since Russia invaded Ukraine, rising interest rates have reduced gold's appeal.


After falling below $1,700 and $1,650, the market anticipates gold to drop below $1,600 in the next few days. Gold's near-term upside seems limited. Gold is down 10% this year.


This year, other precious metals fell. Platinum and silver both fell 12.5%.


Jerome Powell will speak on U.S. monetary policy on Wednesday. Last week's Fed meeting was marked by Powell's hawkishness.


Copper prices retreated Tuesday as Chinese industrial profits fell for a second month in August.


Copper futures recovered 0.3% to $3.3015 a pound after plunging 2% to a two-month low. The red metal is down 24% this year and nearing its 2022 low of $3.1355.


Rising interest rates and a drop in industrial production have hurt copper prices this year.


Investors planned anticipating a supply constraint due to China's economic slowdown, the world's top copper importer.
