Federal Reserve: The FOMC meeting will resume as scheduled on Wednesday morning (9:00 p.m. Beijing time).July 29th - Despite some speculation that the Federal Reserve might unexpectedly raise interest rates on Wednesday, Fundstrat Global Advisors market strategist Tom Lee believes this is unlikely, primarily based on recent progress on inflation. The latest inflation data shows that housing costs and other key components are slowing, giving the Fed room to keep rates unchanged. Therefore, it would be surprising if the Fed, which always emphasizes data collection, concluded that inflationary pressures remain strong based solely on surface observations. Admittedly, inflation has not yet returned to 2%, but the impact of tariffs and rising oil prices are distorting these figures. However, the Fed may consider further reducing its asset holdings on its balance sheet.BMW has chosen Qualcomm (QCOM.O) as its main chip supplier for its digital cockpit.July 29th - Industry sources revealed that the Shanghai Stock Exchange Board of Directors Investor Education and Protection Committee has identified three key research topics for this year: the construction of a prevention and control mechanism for illegal securities activities, the application boundaries and compliance governance of artificial intelligence in securities services, and the identification and dispute resolution mechanism for typical complaints against securities companies. Currently, the corresponding three special survey questionnaires have been distributed to member units, and an in-depth review of the investor protection system covering the securities industry is underway. Securities industry professionals stated that, judging from the questionnaire design, the regulatory approach is shifting from "whether it exists" to "how well it works"—no longer satisfied with simply establishing rules and regulations, but delving into the actual effectiveness of the mechanisms operation, the real impact of technological means, and the removal of obstacles to cross-departmental collaboration. The relevant research findings are expected to provide first-hand evidence for subsequent industry policy formulation and the promotion of best practices.CEO of Italian oil company Eni: We expect a competition for liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply among major powers.

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.
