July 27 - The State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, where Vice Minister of Commerce Yan Dong will introduce Chinas position on the so-called "overcapacity" issue and answer questions from reporters.On July 27, it was reported that some senior U.S. officials recently stated publicly that they would investigate Chinese AI companies for allegedly "distilling" cutting-edge U.S. models and might impose sanctions on Chinese companies on grounds such as "stealing U.S. intellectual property." A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated, "We have noted the relevant situation. China has consistently opposed the U.S. politicizing and instrumentalizing science and technology trade issues, and using various unfounded pretexts to stigmatize Chinese companies and impose sanctions. The U.S. disregards the fact that the release time of Chinese companies AI models is very close to that of cutting-edge U.S. models, and that some Chinese models are already in a leading position, yet it accuses Chinese companies of relying on distillation and stealing U.S. intellectual property, and threatens suppression and sanctions. These actions lack factual basis and legal support, and in practice, they apply double standards, constituting typical acts of AI hegemony."On July 27, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce stated that China urges the US to listen to the objective and rational voices of industries in both China and the US, correct its hegemonic mindset, and cease its smear campaigns and threats of sanctions against Chinese companies. China will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests against any actions that substantially harm Chinas interests. China hopes the US will earnestly implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, work with China in the same direction, strengthen dialogue and communication on artificial intelligence, jointly promote the positive development of AI, and benefit both countries and the world through the advancement and improvement of AI governance.Polish Prime Minister Tusk: We may take measures to lower fuel prices again.Kazakhstans Ministry of Energy: Kazakhstans daily oil production has been halved after the CPC terminal was shut down.

US inflation-driven gains in the price of gold (XAU/USD) are fading as the metal declines to $1,790 on Thursday during the opening Tokyo session. The recent decline in the price of precious metals may be related to conflicting worries about the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) upcoming actions as well as Sino-American friction.

 

On Wednesday, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) fell to 8.5% YoY in July, below the 8.7% consensus and the 9.1% reading from June. According to Reuters, US President Joe Biden stated on Wednesday that there are some indications that inflation may be decreasing after the US released its inflation data. In the coming months, there may be more challenges for us to overcome, Biden continued. US President Biden continues, "We still have work to do, but we're on track."

 

Following the CPI report on Wednesday, traders of futures linked to the Fed's benchmark interest rate reduced their bets on a third consecutive 75-basis-point raise at its policy meeting on September 20-21 and now see a half-point increase as the most likely scenario, according to Reuters.

 

Neel Kashkari, president of the Minneapolis Fed, recently stated that the Fed is "far, far away from declaring success" on inflation. Additionally, the decision-maker stated that he hasn't "seen anything that changes" the need for the Fed to raise its policy rate to 3.9% by year's end and to 4.4% by the end of 2023. Charles Evans, president of the Chicago Fed, said in another place that a recession would likely require unfavorable circumstances to occur. Also labeling inflation "unacceptably" high, Fed's Evans

 

Additionally, according to sources cited by Reuters, US President Biden is reconsidering his China tariff policy in light of Taiwan's response, which put the XAU/USD bulls on the defensive.

 

S&P 500 Futures print modest gains near 4,220 by press time against this backdrop after Wall Street rose and US Treasury yields were largely unchanged the day prior.

 

Moving on, the monthly Producer Price Index (PPI) for July and the weekly US Jobless Claims numbers may amuse gold traders. However, in light of recent risk-negative headlines, special focus should be placed on the qualitative variables.
