The UK energy regulator, Ofgem, announced on Wednesday that the energy price cap will be raised by 13% to £1862 from July 1st. This price cap is updated quarterly, and the previous pricing used market data prior to the escalation of the Middle East conflict; therefore, this adjustment is the first to fully reflect the impact of the recent turmoil in the Middle East. Since the start of the conflict, UK near-month gas futures prices have risen by over 40%, while electricity contract prices have risen by nearly a third over the same period. Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight predicts that UK energy bills will rise again in October, warning that even if the conflict ends quickly, prices will struggle to return to April levels due to damaged infrastructure and prolonged energy supply disruptions.Both WTI and Brent crude oil prices fell by more than 2.00% intraday, currently trading at $94.27 per barrel and $94.57 per barrel, respectively.On May 27th, the National Energy Administration officially released a list of 51 high-value "AI+" energy scenarios. These 51 scenarios include intelligent emergency response to severe convective disasters along important power transmission lines, intelligent diagnosis and smart operation of new power distribution networks, intelligent operation optimization of large-scale vehicle-grid interaction, and intelligent operation of multi-energy complementary clean energy bases. By sector, these 51 high-value scenarios cover eight major areas, including "AI+" power grid, "AI+" new energy, "AI+" hydropower, and "AI+" thermal power.

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD tussles with $1,730 resistance before US inflation

As traders anticipate the crucial US Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Tuesday, the price of gold (XAU/USD) grinds higher above a fortnight peak after a two-day advance to $1,725 per ounce. The market's optimism and anticipated preparations for today's inflation data may be responsible for the metal's most recent increases.

 

The market's cautious optimism appears to have been supported by rumors that Ukraine is succeeding in driving the Russian troops away from some of its conflict zones, even though this also increased concerns about Russia's strong response. The expectation of additional stimulus from powerful economies like China, the US, the UK, and Europe might be on the same lines. It's important to keep in mind that a Chinese holiday and a light schedule may have contributed to the XAU/recovery USD's because Beijing's lack of political or economic problems may have supported metal prices. In addition, recent news from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that US gas prices have fallen for a 13th week in a row helped to relieve market pressure and encouraged a risk-taking attitude that was favorable to the gold price.

 

However, the recent easing of the headline economics and the inflation expectations seems to have pushed back the gold bears despite a light schedule, even though the policymakers from the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank (ECB) remain hawkish elsewhere.

 

In the midst of these maneuvers, Wall Street posted another day of profits despite rising US Treasury yields, which at the time were up five basis points (bps) to 3.36%. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which fell for a second straight day to the lowest levels in a fortnight, eventually dipped to approximately 108.30, was affected by the same factors.

 

Moving on, the US CPI for August is critical in light of the most recent easing of pricing pressure. According to the projections, the headline figure will decline to -0.1% MoM from 0.0% the previous month, while the CPI excluding food and energy is expected to hold steady at 0.3% MoM. The US dollar may continue to decline if the inflation numbers are weaker, which might support the XAU/continued USD's gain.
