ECB Governing Council member Kazmir: Interest rate hikes due to the Iran issue may be faster than expected.March 11 – According to reports, the Taiwan Navys "2026 Goodwill Long-Range Training Flotilla" has set sail for its so-called "diplomatic allies" in Central and South America to carry out "Great Goodwill" missions. Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin stated that the so-called "goodwill" is merely a pretext for the DPP authorities to "seek independence through foreign influence." The one-China principle is a fundamental norm of international relations and a universal consensus of the international community, serving as the political foundation for Chinas relations with its 183 diplomatic allies. We hope that relevant countries in the region will follow the historical trend and the tide of the times, and make the correct choice that truly conforms to the fundamental and long-term interests of their own people as soon as possible. We solemnly warn the DPP authorities that any form of "Taiwan independence" separatist activities and political manipulation cannot change the fact that Taiwan belongs to China or the international communitys adherence to the one-China principle, and are destined to be futile.On March 11, it was reported that the U.S. Department of Defense has requested that U.S. tech companies allow the military unrestricted use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The U.S. military has extensively used AI tools in its military operations against Venezuela and Iran, raising profound concerns about the ethics of war and the boundaries of military technology applications. Defense Ministry spokesperson Jiang Bin stated that unrestricted militarization of AI, using it as a tool to infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries, allowing AI to excessively influence war decisions, and giving algorithms the power of life and death over people, not only erodes the ethical and responsibility constraints of war but could also lead to technological spirals out of control, even turning the catastrophic scenarios depicted in the American film *The Terminator* into reality. China has always adhered to the principle of "people-centeredness and AI for good," and has always maintained that the military application of AI should be human-led. China opposes using the advantages of emerging technologies such as AI to seek absolute military hegemony and to undermine the sovereignty and territorial security of other countries. We are willing to work with all countries to advance the multilateral governance process of AI, with the United Nations at its core, strengthen risk prevention and control, and ensure that AI always develops in a direction conducive to the progress of human civilization.March 11th Futures News: On March 11th, the Shanghai Futures Exchanges energy and chemical warehouse receipts and changes are as follows: 1.

Jiang stated that the United States and Israel, without authorization from the UN Security Council, launched a military strike against Iran during the US-Iran negotiations, seriously violating international law and the basic norms of international relations. China firmly opposes infringements on the sovereignty and security of other countries and opposes the abuse of force and the law of the jungle. We are deeply concerned about the protracted conflict and its spillover effects on neighboring countries. We have always maintained that force is not the correct way to resolve international disputes. Prolonging or even escalating conflicts yields no winners; it will only push the Middle East situation into a dangerous abyss and bring greater disaster to the people of the region. The urgent task is for all parties to immediately cease military operations, return to the track of resolving issues through dialogue and negotiation, and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the Middle East and the world.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – S&P 500 Futures Pulled Back

Analysis of the S&P 500

During Monday's trading session, the S&P 500 dipped slightly as the futures market remained very volatile. It's understandable that we'd prolong the broader slump by pulling back in this manner. After all, inflation, a weakening economy, and, of course, contagion from other markets are still major worries. Large funds are being forced to sell other holdings to compensate losses, which has a "knock-on" impact.


I expect a lot of resistance between 4100 and 4150. The commotion continues all the way to the 4300 level, where the 50 Day EMA is now trading. To put it another way, we have a lot of potential opposition to overcome in order to shift the general trend, and I honestly don't see myself buying this market anytime soon. On the downside, we might soon turn our attention to the 3900 level, which has previously provided some support.


Breaking through the hammer just below there would open the floodgates to further lower prices, which, to be honest, wouldn't surprise me at this point. It's worth noting that the Friday candlestick was bullish, but with minimal volume, and was most likely a "short covering rally" going into the weekend. Only volatility can be predicted.
