A Republican senator has proposed repealing Californias vehicle emissions regulations.U.S. EIA natural gas storage for the week ending July 31 was 33 billion cubic feet, compared with an expected 30 billion cubic feet and a previous reading of 28 billion cubic feet.The U.S. EIA natural gas storage data for the week ending July 31 will be released in ten minutes.On August 6th, Tesla (TSLA.O) announced that earlier this year, SpaceX and Tesla launched Project Terafab—the worlds largest chip manufacturing initiative, integrating logic chips, memory chips, and advanced packaging technologies within a single facility. In April, Tesla broke ground on its new R&D wafer fab at its Texas Gigafactory North Campus, the precursor to Terafab. Today, we are officially announcing that Terafab will be located in Grimes County, Texas. This facility will be an advanced semiconductor wafer fab designed to bridge the huge gap between current global chip supply capacity and future computing demands. SpaceX and Teslas combined chip demand is projected to exceed 1 terawatt (TW) of computing power, a scale far exceeding current global supply capacity. We are highly grateful to existing chip suppliers and encourage them to expand capacity where possible, but the widening gap between future supply and demand is the core reason for the existence of Project Terafab. Terafab aims to manufacture new computing power at an unprecedented scale and speed. The project plans to build a vertically integrated factory with a manufacturing area exceeding 100 million square feet. The facility will encompass the manufacturing, packaging, and testing of advanced logic and memory chips. Centralizing these processes in one location will facilitate rapid iterative improvements and accelerate the deployment of new computing capabilities.Tesla (TSLA.O): TeraFab aims to produce more than 1 terawatt of computing power per year.

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.
