Xiaomi Group (01810.HK) rebounded after hitting a low, rising more than 1%, after falling more than 3% at one point.On May 28, US President Donald Trump filed a new $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal and its parent company, News Corp., over a report that alleged his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The initial lawsuit in the same case was dismissed by a judge. The revised complaint was filed Wednesday evening in federal court in Florida, just before the judges deadline. The initial lawsuit was dismissed because the judge ruled that the plaintiff failed to sufficiently prove that the report was written with "actual malice" against Trump—a high threshold for defamation lawsuits against public figures. Trumps lawsuit targets a Wall Street Journal report published in July 2025. The report stated that Trump sent Epstein a "vulgar" birthday card in 2003, which Trump has repeatedly claimed was forged.Former Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masazumi Wakatabe: The claim that the yens depreciation accelerated after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi took office is untrue; the yens depreciation began in 2022.Former Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masazumi Wakatabe stated that it is necessary to assess whether the economy is strong enough to withstand the Bank of Japans interest rate hikes, and whether or not interest rates will be raised in June is not actually the key issue.Musk: SpaceX has not committed to a long-term lease of Colossus, although that is certainly a possibility.

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.
