April 11th - According to foreign media reports, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has decided to increase UK defense spending at a faster pace than currently planned in an effort to counter potential leadership challenges. The UKs defense spending has fallen behind allies such as Germany, and the government had previously set a target of increasing core defense spending to 3.5% of economic output by 2035. The decision to increase defense spending is essentially finalized, but specific details are still pending. The UK Treasury insists that any significant increase in defense spending must be achieved through tax increases or spending cuts.On April 11, the Japanese government approved an additional subsidy of 631.5 billion yen (approximately US$4 billion) to accelerate Rapiduss entry into the highly competitive field of artificial intelligence chip manufacturing. This funding aims to support Rapiduss business operations for IT company Fujitsu. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry stated on Saturday that the additional funding brings the total amount of government funding and investment in the startup to 2.6 trillion yen (approximately US$16.3 billion) in the current fiscal year (ending March 2027). The ministry said an external committee has inspected Rapiduss wafer fab in northern Hokkaido and approved its technological progress. The newly established chipmaker began developing wafers using 2-nanometer technology last year, aiming to mass-produce cutting-edge semiconductors by 2027 and help Japan reduce its reliance on industry leader TSMC.April 11th - A Bank of America research report indicates that the Eurozone is far more sensitive to oil prices than the United States. The study found that a 10% shock to oil prices would have an inflationary impact of approximately 40 basis points and a corresponding growth impact of over 10 basis points. Both of these effects are roughly twice that in the United States. We believe this result is due to the higher proportion of energy in Europes consumption basket and the regions status as a net importer of oil.On April 11th, Baidu AI Cloud, in collaboration with embodied intelligence companies such as ZeroPower, LingSheng Technology, Fourier, Weite Technology, Topway Intelligence, Shutu Technology, and Songying Technology, launched the Baidu AI Cloud Embedded Intelligence Data Supermarket (Beta Version).

Gold Prices Approach 16-Month Low Before Rebounding to $1,700

During the "Fed-vacuum" week, gold had a larger-than-expected price movement, although it was a decrease rather than a rise.


On January 31, gold futures for August delivery on New York's Comex reached a low of $1,676.80, less than a week before the central bank's announcement about a rate hike in July. It ended the day at $1713.20, an increase of 13.2 points, or 0.8%.


According to dealers, the spot price of bullion, which more precisely represents gold's pricing and demand dynamics than Comex futures, touched a 16-month low of $1,680.96.


Gold bulls have been unable to push the market far higher from its 11-month low of $1,695 on Comex last week, despite Fed officials respecting the customary 10-day speech prohibition before the rate decision on July 27.


The restart of gold's drop on Thursday could not be traced to a single cause. The dollar, which often influences the direction of gold by moving in the opposite way, also sank as the European Central Bank joined other central banks in raising interest rates to battle inflation rather than to prevent a recession.


On Thursday, the Dollar Index, which measures the dollar to six other currencies, hovered below 107 after topping 109 for the first time since December 2002 due to anticipation of rapid Federal Reserve rate hikes.


Others, though, saw the recovery to $1,700 as proof of gold's endurance.


Craig Erlam, an analyst at the online trading platform OANDA, said, "This session has been highly volatile, and gold seems to have recovered in popularity." "The shift may be caused by a hawkish ECB, but the gain in gold much surpasses the decrease in the dollar. We seem to be seeing the inverse of the price movement from late last week. Is the market for gold recovery active?"
