On July 18th, according to the Financial Times, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released updated regulatory data this week on short sellers bets on UK listed companies under new rules. The data contained several obvious errors, raising questions about the quality of information provided under the new disclosure regime. Previous regulations required the public disclosure of the specific names of hedge funds and investors holding significant short positions, but the new rules have removed this requirement. Instead, the regulator will now disclose the total short positions for each stock in an aggregated manner. The FCA released this data after the new rules came into effect. However, according to an analysis by data provider Breakout Point, the new information released by the FCA contains several obvious errors. Some positions were subsequently deleted or altered without leaving any record of the changes. The data also includes positions from several years ago, which are highly unlikely to still exist. Ivan Kosovich, founder of Breakout Point, stated that initial problems might be understandable and the situation is improving, but "hidden alterations" in official market records should not become the norm.Bahrains Ministry of Defense said it intercepted multiple Iranian airstrikes on Saturday.The China Earthquake Networks Center officially reported that a 4.3-magnitude earthquake occurred at 13:47 on July 18 in Akto County, Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang (38.71 degrees north latitude, 75.07 degrees east longitude), with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.The Kuwaiti military stated that Kuwait is currently intercepting missiles and drones launched from Iran.July 18 - According to data from Xinjiang Power Exchange Center Co., Ltd., Xinjiangs total electricity transmission to other regions in the first half of 2026 reached 79.024 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 25.11%, of which 27.84 billion kWh was from renewable energy sources, a year-on-year increase of 33.92%.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD sellers near $1,955 confluence as yields recover amid banking and growth concerns

Gold price (XAU/USD) falls $1,970 over the course of a two-day losing trend preceding Monday's European session. In doing so, the precious metal justifies the most recent revival in US Treasury bond yields and the US Dollar, while extending yesterday's U-turn from the key resistance zone.

 

As First Citizens bank agrees to purchase a sizable portion of Silicon Valley Bank, dwindling banking jitters may also be a factor. (SVB). In recent days, the XAU/USD has been weighed down by hawkish Fed comments, the pace of China's growth, one of the world's largest Gold consumers, as well as primarily US data.

 

Kristalina Georgieva, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), cautioned that "risks to financial stability have increased," prompting an investigation into Gold sellers. On the same vein, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari voiced concerns about an impending US recession.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) prints a three-day uptrend near 103.12 as traders prepare for important inflation data on Friday, specifically the US Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index for February.

 

In spite of this, 10-year US Treasury bond yields increased by two basis points to 3.40 percent, while their two-year counterpart ended a three-day losing trend close to 3.85 percent as of press time.

 

Moving forward, the Gold price remains on the bears' radar due to the failure of traders to overcome the critical resistance and the month-end consolidation. However, Friday's release of the Fed's favored inflation gauge becomes crucial for XAU/USD traders seeking direction.
