Market news: Explosions were heard in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.On July 28th, Apple (AAPL.O) surpassed Nvidia (NVDA.O) to regain the title of the worlds most valuable company by closing price, for the first time since April 2025. Nvidias stock price fell nearly 5% on Monday, reducing its market capitalization to $4.77 trillion, as investors expressed concerns about the enormous costs of building AI infrastructure, leading to a general decline in the AI chip sector. Meanwhile, Apples stock price rose 1%, reaching a market capitalization of $4.95 trillion, ahead of its highly anticipated earnings report after the market closes on Thursday. Nvidia had held the title of the worlds most valuable company since dethroning Microsoft in June 2025, and briefly touched a $5 trillion market capitalization last October. So far in 2026, Nvidias stock price has only risen 4%, while Apples has risen 24%. Apples outperformance is attributed to its cautious approach to AI capital expenditures, favoring leased computing power over self-built infrastructure—a strategy that has resonated with investors.According to the New York Post: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will provide US President Trump with intelligence on Irans "Gazelle" nuclear facility.A U.S. Senate aide said the Senate is expected to begin voting on the Russia sanctions bill as early as Tuesday (during Ukrainian President Zelenskys visit to the U.S.).According to two Senate aides, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will meet with the full U.S. Senate on Tuesday evening local time.

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.

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.
