On May 29th, a draft plan revealed that the European Union is attempting to revitalize its struggling semiconductor industry by reviving the "Chip Makers Act," a move expected to require €120 billion (approximately $140 billion) in public-private partnerships by 2035. The upcoming Chip Makers Act 2.0 will focus on practical measures to boost domestic demand for chips within the EU, as the original 2023 act failed in its efforts to expand EU market share. One major project under consideration is a €30 billion investment in a new factory to produce artificial intelligence semiconductors and advanced 3-nanometer chips. Funding for this project will be provided jointly by the European Commission, the EUs executive body, member states, and private companies. The European Commission will also facilitate connections between companies in the telecommunications, defense, and automotive sectors and chip suppliers, with the suppliers developing technologies to meet these companies needs. The draft is scheduled to be submitted to legislators next week, but changes are still possible.Federal Reserve Chairman Mussalem: Warsh will raise profound questions about how the Fed operates.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD will fall to $1,900 due to a strengthening US Dollar and mixed investor attitude

In advance of Tuesday's European session, the gold market (XAU/USD) maintains its decline as sellers hit a crucial support level near $1,920. In doing so, the precious metal reverses the mid-Asian session retracement off the stated trend line support.

 

The metal's weakness may be attributable to the contradictory information contained in International Monetary Fund (IMF) updates, as the global lender acknowledged inflation risks while expressing optimism for economic growth. Recent action by the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to defend the Yield Curve Control (YCC), which in turn puts a floor under global yields and weighs on the Gold price, may fall along the same line.

 

In addition, Monday's positive US data and expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will do everything it takes to defend its hawkish monetary policy actions appear to impose downward pressure on the XAU/USD exchange rate.

 

Notably, the probable conclusion of Covid-led activity restrictions in the United States on May 11 and positive China PMIs previously drove the XAU/USD bounce from the $1,920 level.

 

US 10-year Treasury yields struggle to prolong a three-day rally near 3.54%, as the US Dollar Index (DXY) falls to 102.20 at the latest, reflecting the prevailing sentiment. In addition, both S&P 500 Futures and stocks in the Asia-Pacific area remain moderately available.

 

The US Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting will garner the lion's share of attention from Gold traders.
