On September 6th, it was reported that on September 5th, the Haikou Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau issued a "Notice on Several Measures to Promote the Stable and Healthy Development of the Real Estate Market."

Active-duty military personnel (including officers, non-commissioned officers, and conscripts) serving in Hainan will also enjoy the same housing purchase rights as Hainan residents. Employees of companies registered in Hainan who actually work and live in Hainan can purchase one unit of commercial housing in Haikou. Families with two or more children can purchase one additional unit beyond the current policy limit. The notice also encourages "trade-in" to meet the demand for improved housing.

NG certification effectively addresses trade barriers imposed by the EUs Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). All eligible market entities within the Shenze Economic Development Zone can now align with international rules such as the EU Radio Equipment Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, enhancing the voice and core competitiveness of resident enterprises in the international market and facilitating Shenzes deep participation in the global green and low-carbon industrial chain.September 6th - According to a CNBC report, data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that of the 162,000 jobs added that month, women accounted for 158,000, or 98%. Men accounted for the remaining 4,000 net job gains, meaning they contributed almost 40 times less to overall job growth. The nonprofit Economic Security Project first pointed out this anomaly in Fridays data. Laura Ullrich, director of economic research at Indeed Recruiting Lab, said that with the release of Fridays nonfarm payroll report, the gap between women and men in employment has climbed to unprecedented levels. "We are in the midst of a transformation," Ullrich said. "This change is happening right before our eyes."September 6th - According to the Ministry of Water Resources, this morning (September 6th), the Ministry held a rolling consultation meeting to analyze and assess the national rainfall and flood situation and to arrange and deploy key defense work.

The peak of the first flood of the Ganjiang River in Jiangxi has passed the Zhangshu section, and it is expected that the entire main stream of the Ganjiang River will recede below the warning level within the next 24 hours.September 6th - Earlier today, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the release of previously undisclosed surveillance footage and videos of actions against vessels violating regulations. The IRGC stated that its navy took decisive action and implemented effective control in the Strait of Hormuz; any suspicious activity will be targeted. The IRGC asserted that the United States is the greatest threat to the security and maritime trade of countries in the region; any claims of US support and escort are pure lies.

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.
