There are concerns that the remaining early harvest list items under the ECFA will continue or may be completely terminated. What is your comment on this?" Zhu Fenglian replied: "In June 2010, based on the political foundation of the 1992 Consensus, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait signed the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA). Over the years, we have earnestly fulfilled our commitments, promoting and guaranteeing the effectiveness and implementation of the ECFA, bringing tangible benefits to relevant enterprises and people on the island, especially small and medium-sized enterprises and farmers and fishermen. Before taking office, the DPP attacked the ECFA; after taking office, it seriously obstructed its implementation. Not only did it fail to take concrete measures to remove discriminatory trade restrictions against the mainland, but it also continuously and escalated its actions by revising rules and setting up obstacles, maliciously hindering and undermining normal cross-strait economic exchanges and cooperation, forcing relevant mainland departments to suspend tariff reductions on some ECFA products. The responsibility for this lies entirely with the DPP authorities."Türkiyes car sales rose 11.4% year-on-year in June, but fell 8.19% year-on-year in the first half of the year.

June Gold Buyers May Face Difficulties at $1987.60

The market's strength is being fueled by demand for a hedge against rising inflation during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, lessening pressure from expectations of an aggressive US interest rate hike, and the US Dollar's intraday reversal top.

 

June Comex gold futures are currently trading at $1982.70, up $6.60 or 0.33 percent from their previous close. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) is currently trading at $184.66, up $0.89 or 0.48 percent from its previous close.

 

Gold is regarded as an inflation hedge and a hedge against geopolitical concerns. However, higher interest rates in the United States would increase the opportunity cost of storing non-yielding bullion and strengthen the dollar against which it is valued.

 

However, the price action shows that gold buyers are seeking insurance against inflation and are not very concerned about opportunity costs at the moment. Despite all of the Fed's hawkish rhetoric and anticipation for aggressive rate hikes, we have yet to witness a shift in the direction of inflation.

 

Gold is likely to remain underpinned for the foreseeable future as long as the inflation arrow continues to point upward and the Ukraine war continues.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the primary trend is upward. A move over the intraday high of $1985.50 reaffirms the uptrend. A break of $1916.20 will revert the major trend to the downside.

 

On the upside, the retracement zone between $1987.60 and $2009.90 is the nearest objective.

 

On the downside, the long-term Fibonacci level at $1958.70 serves as the initial support, followed by the short-term 50% level at $1932.90.

Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

The June Comex gold futures market's path through Wednesday's close is likely to be dictated by trader reaction to the 50% level at $1987.60.

Scenario of Bullishness

A sustained move above $1987.60 will signal that buyers are present. This could provide the necessary momentum for a test of the Fibonacci level at $2009.90. This is a trigger point for an upside acceleration.

Scenario of the Bear

A persistent decline below $1987.60 indicates the existence of sellers. They intend to attempt the formation of a secondary lower top. This, if successful, might result in a break into $1958.70.
