On May 18th, S&P Global Ratings stated in a report that JD.com (09618.HK) may face challenges in maintaining its growth momentum in the coming quarters. The companys core retail business achieved growth in the first quarter, benefiting from an expanding user base and increased shopping frequency, with overall performance exceeding S&Ps expectations. However, S&P analysts believe that JD.coms planned reduction in promotional activities could lead to a slowdown in retail growth, and user growth may also moderate. They added that competition in the food delivery industry may intensify again during the upcoming peak season. S&P stated that JD.com may need to conduct more targeted food delivery promotions to control the resulting losses.The bid-to-cover ratio for Japans 5-year government bonds was 3.22.On May 18th, Nomura issued a report stating that AI-driven demand is growing exponentially, while memory supply is limited, suggesting a potential revaluation of memory stocks. The bank significantly raised its target prices for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, increasing Samsungs target price from 340,000 won to 590,000 won and SK Hynixs target price from 2.34 million won to 4 million won, both with a "buy" rating. Nomura stated that as AI semiconductor demand shifts from training to inference workloads, memory demand is entering a period of exponential expansion. In contrast, the bank believes that industry supply growth during the same period may still be limited to about 5 to 6 times (an annual compound growth rate of about 30%), raising serious questions about whether the structural supply shortage can be truly resolved. The bank noted that the industry is currently attempting to narrow this widening supply-demand gap through various software and architectural optimizations, but Nomura believes these solutions can only slow the growth rate, not reverse the trend.The main contract for 2-year Treasury bond futures (TS) remained unchanged, the main contract for 5-year Treasury bond futures (TF) remained unchanged, the main contract for 10-year Treasury bond futures (T) fell by 0.03%, and the main contract for 30-year Treasury bond futures (TL) fell by 0.12%.At the close of the morning session, domestic futures contracts showed mixed results.

Forecast for Gold: XAUUSD retreats from $1800 on rising US yields

While it had been trending upwards, gold's daily performance took a sour turn and it is now trading below $1800. During the American session, the XAUUSD reached a high of $1799 before turning down and heading below $1785.

 

Despite predictions of a 0.2% monthly increase, data released on Thursday indicated that the US Producer Price Index decreased by 0.5% in July, bringing the annual rate down to 9.8%. The Consumer Price Index did not move in July, contrary to predictions of a 0.2% increase, according to data released on Wednesday. The US currency fell because of the inflation rate going down.

 

Investors continue to count on a rate hike of 50 basis points or more from the Federal Reserve at their September meeting. U.S. rates have risen despite though a peak in US inflation is more likely, which is surprising. Both the US 10-year yield (now at 2.83%) and the 2-year yield (3.20%) are at their highest levels in nearly a week.

 

Increased US yields capped gold's gains. The inability of the XAU/USD pair to maintain a price over $1800 despite the recent US data has fueled skepticism that the rally will continue. Weekly support is found around $1774, and the immediate support is at $1785. Additional gains appear likely if the price of gold can consolidate over $1800.
