The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has consistently avoided addressing the vital energy issue that is crucial to the industrys survival. What is your comment on this? Spokesperson Zhu Fenglian of the Taiwan Affairs Office stated that the DPP authorities are single-mindedly pursuing "Taiwan independence" and have neither the will nor the ability to solve the structural problems facing the islands economic and social development. Power shortages have become a Achilles heel of Taiwans economic and social development, a fact that is evident to all.

Furthermore, Pan Chunsheng pointed out that listed companies are encouraged to communicate more proactively with investors, using quantifiable data and verifiable performance to demonstrate a shared understanding of sustainable development.

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.
