ECB Governing Council member Kazmir: Interest rate hikes due to the Iran issue may be faster than expected.March 11 – According to reports, the Taiwan Navys "2026 Goodwill Long-Range Training Flotilla" has set sail for its so-called "diplomatic allies" in Central and South America to carry out "Great Goodwill" missions. Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin stated that the so-called "goodwill" is merely a pretext for the DPP authorities to "seek independence through foreign influence." The one-China principle is a fundamental norm of international relations and a universal consensus of the international community, serving as the political foundation for Chinas relations with its 183 diplomatic allies. We hope that relevant countries in the region will follow the historical trend and the tide of the times, and make the correct choice that truly conforms to the fundamental and long-term interests of their own people as soon as possible. We solemnly warn the DPP authorities that any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and political manipulation cannot change the fact that Taiwan belongs to China or the international communitys adherence to the one-China principle, and are destined to be futile.On March 11, it was reported that the U.S. Department of Defense has requested that U.S. tech companies allow the military unrestricted use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The U.S. military has extensively used AI tools in its military operations against Venezuela and Iran, raising profound concerns about the ethics of war and the boundaries of military technology applications. Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin stated that unrestricted militarization of AI, using it as a tool to infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries, allowing AI to excessively influence war decisions, and giving algorithms the power of life and death over people, not only erodes the ethical and responsibility constraints of war but could also lead to technological spirals out of control, even turning the catastrophic scenarios depicted in the American film *The Terminator* into reality. China has always adhered to the principle of "people-centeredness and AI for good," and has always maintained that the military application of AI should be human-led. China opposes using the advantages of emerging technologies such as AI to seek absolute military hegemony and to undermine the sovereignty and territorial security of other countries. We are willing to work with all countries to advance the multilateral governance process of AI, with the United Nations at its core, strengthen risk prevention and control, and ensure that AI always develops in a direction conducive to the progress of human civilization.March 11th Futures News: On March 11th, the Shanghai Futures Exchanges energy and chemical warehouse receipts and changes are as follows: 1.

Jiang stated that the United States and Israel, without authorization from the UN Security Council, launched a military strike against Iran during the US-Iran negotiations, seriously violating international law and the basic norms of international relations. China firmly opposes infringements on the sovereignty and security of other countries and opposes the abuse of force and the law of the jungle. We are deeply concerned about the protracted conflict and its spillover effects on neighboring countries. We have always maintained that force is not the correct way to resolve international disputes. Prolonging or even escalating conflicts yields no winners; it will only push the Middle East situation into a dangerous abyss and bring greater disaster to the people of the region. The urgent task is for all parties to immediately cease military operations, return to the track of resolving issues through dialogue and negotiation, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East and the world.

Gold Price Prediction: The XAU/USD pair stabilizes around $1,850 as the DXY flounders ahead of steady US inflation

During the Asian session, the gold price (XAU/USD) is exhibiting choppy movement. The precious gold is fluctuating within a $2 range following a retreat from Tuesday's $1,855.64 high. This week's US inflation numbers will have a big influence on the Federal Reserve's (Fed) attitude to be taken the following week, hence causing considerable volatility in the foreign exchange market.

 

Fed chair Jerome Powell may implement an aggressive interest rate strategy in light of the optimistic US Nonfarm Payrolls report and annual inflation rate above 8 percent. Undoubtedly, rising pricing pressures are eroding household incomes in the United States, a situation that requires the Fed's sole attention. Fed Powell's declaration of a 50 basis point (bps) consecutive rate rise would be the ideal approach to continue the battle against inflation.

 

In the meantime, the US dollar index (DXY) is encountering obstacles at its important resistance level of 102.48. Tuesday's rise in positive market mood diminished the DXY's attractiveness and supported risk-perceived currencies. To go higher, the DXY must surpass Tuesday's high of 102.84.

Technical Analysis of Gold

XAU/USD is exhibiting an ascending triangle pattern on a four-hour time frame. The ascending trendline is drawn from the low of May 16 at $1,786.94, while the horizontal resistance is drawn from the high of May 24 at $1,866.89. At $1,850, the 21-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) intersects with gold prices, indicating an impending consolidation. In the meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) oscillates between 40.00 and 60.00, indicating that forthcoming trading sessions will be volatile.
