On April 11th, a Bank of America research report pointed out that a 10% oil price shock in the 1970s would have had a 90 basis point inflationary impact on the United States, while today that impact is approximately 25 basis points. Furthermore, the report noted that the drag on US growth from oil price shocks has also decreased from over 70 basis points in the past to about 5 basis points today. This may be attributed to the reduced US dependence on oil and the shale oil boom since the 2010s, which has made the US a net energy exporter.On April 11th, at the High-Level Forum on the Development of Intelligent Electric Vehicles (2026), NIO Chairman Li Bin stated that batteries and chips currently account for over 50% of the cost of intelligent electric vehicles, with very high costs associated with production capacity, verification, and production organization. This situation is due to two main reasons: First, the lack of standardized battery cell specifications restricts cost, efficiency, and market responsiveness. He suggested promoting battery cell standardization. Second, there are too many types of chips. Chips should be standardized, and relevant departments should organize automakers to unify chip types as soon as possible, developing interchangeable standards for each type. This would not only benefit the adoption of domestically produced chips in vehicles but also help reduce costs across the industry.April 11th - A Bank of America research report released on April 10th points out that since the 1970s, the global economys dependence on oil has gradually decreased: today, the amount of oil needed to produce the same level of GDP is only one-third of what it was in the 1970s. The OPEC crisis and the subsequent oil shock were once considered a severe stagflation shock. But today, economies are much more resilient to energy shocks of similar magnitude.On April 11, news circulated that JD.com was testing a new project called "Open Start" in collaboration with DeepBlue Auto, which was suspected to be related to launching a ride-hailing service. In response, JD Auto stated that it is not involved in a ride-hailing business and that "the new project will launch on April 13."On April 11, at the 2026 Intelligent Electric Vehicle Development High-Level Forum, Li Qiang, Vice President of the Public Cloud Business Unit and General Manager of AI Automotive Industry at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group, revealed that more than 30 automakers and intelligent driving solution providers are currently conducting intelligent driving research and development on Alibaba Cloud. The actual use of Pingtouges self-developed "Zhenwu" PPU has exceeded 100,000 calories, setting a record for the largest scale of self-developed AI chips used on a public cloud platform in the automotive industry.

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD hopes to reclaim $1,800 as investors lower their expectations for US inflation

After reaching a new monthly high at about $1,800.00 on Tuesday, the price of gold (XAU/USD) is now showing a contraction in volatility. On Tuesday, the precious metal made a respectable rise to the north before moving sideways in anticipation of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI). According to the street estimates, the inflation rate decreased considerably from the previous announcement by 40 basis points (bps) to 8.7%. The price rise index, however, is very likely to make an unexpected shift.

 

The investment community is aware that rising oil prices continued to be the key factor pushing up price pressures. Now, concerns about fixed supply and a bleak demand forecast on the oil front have caused an even greater decline in oil prices. The inflation rate will also show the multiplier effect.

 

Additionally, the positive US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data from last week suggests that the inflation rate may climb more than expected. In contrast to the 372k jobs added in June, the US economy added 528k new employment in July. Well, until the dust settles for a longer period of time, officials at the Federal Reserve (Fed) will still have a difficult task.

 

Following a robust recovery from the lower part of the Rising Channel at roughly $1,765.00, gold prices are currently rising quickly. The upper part of the aforementioned chart pattern is drawn from the high of July 22 at $1,739.37, and the lower part is drawn from the low of July 27 at $1,711.55.

 

The upside filters are strengthened by the scaling higher of the 20- and 50-period Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) at $1,785.15 and $1,772.00, respectively. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has moved into the bullish zone of 60.00-80.00, indicating further gains are still to come.
