On August 28th, it was announced that the "Twelve Measures for Financial Empowerment of the High-Quality Development of the Low-Altitude Economy Industry in the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone" will officially take effect on September 1st this year and will be valid until December 31st, 2028.

Addressing the difficulties and high costs of financing in key links of the low-altitude industry chain, the Measures innovatively introduce a credit risk-sharing mechanism and encourage banking institutions to develop products such as "Talent Loans," "R&D Loans," and "Low-Altitude Industry Cluster Loans" for the Qianhai low-altitude economy.August 28th - According to the Financial Times, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healy will temporarily shelve the target of increasing defense spending to 3% of GDP by 2030 when he presents his first budget in October, and difficult decisions on how to fund the armed forces will also be postponed. Healy had previously insisted that the UK should increase defense spending to 3% of GDP by 2030 as a milestone to achieve NATOs 3.5% target by 2035, but this position is now fraught with uncertainty. Government insiders say Healys budget will focus on filling the nearly £5 billion funding gap for defense equipment left by former Prime Minister Starmer. Bee Boileau, a researcher at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said that if the government increases defense spending to 3% of GDP by 2030, it will require an additional £10 billion annually at current prices. A further increase to 3.5% would require an additional £25 billion. Under current plans, UK defense spending will reach 2.7% of GDP by 2030.According to the Financial Times, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Healy will postpone his target of spending 3% of GDP on defense by 2030.August 28th - Tencent Hunyuan announced the release of Hy4 preview today.

JPMorgan economist Takuho Morimoto stated that after excluding policy incentives such as subsidies for water and electricity bills and childcare fees, consumer prices excluding fresh food and energy could rise to 2.5%, significantly higher than the 2% reported on Friday and also above the Bank of Japans 2% inflation target.

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.
