May 9th - According to the latest data released by Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the China Passenger Car Association, my countrys automobile exports reached 3.28 million units from January to April this year, a year-on-year increase of 52%, setting a new record in recent years. The total export value reached US$56.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 54%, also a new record in recent years.On May 9th, Bank of Americas latest forecast indicates that the Federal Reserve will postpone interest rate cuts until the second half of 2027, primarily due to high inflation and strong job growth. Bank of Americas global research division had previously predicted two rate cuts this year, one in September and one in October, a view partly based on the expectation that Trumps nomination of Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed chairman would guide policymakers towards looser monetary policy. However, this view has changed with evolving economic conditions. Bank of America economists recently stated, "We no longer expect the Fed to cut rates this year." They also pointed out that multiple shocks impacting the economy, including the Iran war, tariffs, and the rise of artificial intelligence, have made predicting interest rate changes more difficult.Israel Defense Forces: The targets included weapons storage facilities, launchers, and buildings used by Hezbollah to advance terrorist activities against Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers.On May 9th, GAC Aion issued a statement on social media, stating that recently, some internet users have been publishing and spreading information claiming that three automakers are under investigation and eight automakers have been summoned for talks due to OTA (Over-The-Air) "battery locking" issues, and fabricating a list of companies that GAC Aion is among those summoned or investigated. After verification, GAC Aion has never been summoned by relevant authorities for the matters mentioned in the false information, nor is it included in any list of companies under investigation. The spread of such false information on online platforms has seriously damaged GAC Aions corporate image and brand reputation. Currently, GAC Aion has immediately begun evidence preservation and account tracing, and will pursue legal action against those spreading rumors to protect its legitimate rights and interests. We urge relevant internet users and platforms to immediately delete all content that spreads rumors and defames GAC Aion. At the same time, we urge all netizens not to easily believe or spread unverified information, to rationally distinguish the source of information, to resolutely resist online rumors, and to jointly protect a clean online environment.U.S. Geological Survey: A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck the Lat Islands in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

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.
