Investors are concerned that rising component costs will dampen demand for end devices and ultimately drag down memory chip prices, which have been supporting the AI investment boom. The market is reassessing whether soaring memory prices, driven by continued strong AI demand, will begin to suppress overall spending by increasing costs for electronics manufacturers and consumers. Apples price increase is one of the clearest signals yet that the industrys pricing power may be at the expense of future demand, prompting the market to reassess the valuation of AI-related semiconductor stocks. "The market is no longer viewing rising memory prices as a necessary positive factor for the entire AI deal," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo Bank. "While this demonstrates that demand for AI infrastructure remains strong, it also drives up the cost of building and using AI. The risk is that the current strong memory chip cycle may slow down the entire AI deal in the future, and the market has already begun to price this in."Kazakhstans minister said that Kazakhstan has cut gas production at the Karachagank gas field due to a Ukrainian drone attack on Russias Orenburg gas processing plant.According to IFR, a Reuters subsidiary, Zhejiang Laifu Harmonic Drive Co., Ltd. has set its Hong Kong IPO price at the high end of the range, aiming to raise HK$1.1 billion.

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.
