On August 10th, SpaceX (SPCX.O) announced a partnership with Tesla (TSLA.O), with an initial investment of $16.8 billion, to build the Terafab chip facility in Texas. A blogger posted that, based on Terafabs announcement, Musk seems to be adopting the "Free Electron Laser" (FEL) technology route to challenge ASMLs (ASML.O) LPP EUV light source and disrupt the monopoly of traditional EUV wafer manufacturing technology. Musks subsequent response seems to confirm this, as he posted "FEL FTW" (FEL For The Win). The slender design of Terafabs factory and Musks reply suggest that Terafab is likely to adopt FEL technology. Although Musks pursuit of FEL is currently just speculation, it has sparked heated discussion within the industry. FEL boasts advantages such as high power, high coherence, tunable wavelength, and higher energy efficiency, theoretically potentially pushing lithography light sources from 13.5nm to 6nm or even shorter wavelengths. However, the massive size of the accelerator system, its cost, and the stability of mass production remain the biggest challenges to industrialization.Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf: The world today has realized that Iran is not to be trifled with.Iranian Parliament Speaker Qalibaf: The Islamic system is at one of the most critical moments in its history, playing an irreplaceable role in regional and global security and stability.A Yemeni military source said that Yemeni citizens should stay away from areas where Saudi military personnel are concentrated.According to the Iranian news agency IRNA, the deputy head of the Iranian presidential office responsible for press and communications announced that Irans Supreme Leader Mojtaba has appointed Mohsen Rezaei as his representative in the National Security Council.

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.
