On June 11th, it was reported that XPeng is expanding into a new business area, officially entering the yacht industry and launching a yacht project codenamed "Flying Fish." XPeng also established a dedicated R&D team earlier this year, which now numbers nearly 100 people. The project is led by Qian Zhanwei, head of XPengs vehicle architecture department. However, the project is still in the R&D stage, and specific product details, technical parameters, and launch date have not been disclosed. XPeng stated that it was "unaware of this matter." While XPeng did not comment on the yacht development news, it is not uncommon for automakers to venture into the yacht industry. Previously, brands such as Mercedes-AMG, Lamborghini, Porsche, and Lexus have already entered this field, albeit in various ways.The European Central Bank will announce its interest rate decision in ten minutes.June 11th - Forex strategist Karamanis stated that euro options indicate traders expect another calm day for the ECB decision, as the rate hike has already been fully priced in by the market, and this meeting is largely seen as procedural. The euro could see volatility if officials hint at a possible consecutive rate hike in July, rather than a pause until September (a probability currently priced in by the swap market at less than 50%). However, for the forex market to experience significant volatility, the markets pricing in three rate hikes before the end of the year would need to be substantially challenged. Lagarde is unlikely to do much in this regard – she is expected to offer little beyond reiterating that future decisions will rely on data.According to the Wall Street Journal: Nvidia (NVDA.O) is collaborating with Abridge to develop artificial intelligence medical models.On June 11th, Nanjing held a football work conference.

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.
