SenseTime (00020.HK): It is expected to record a profit of approximately RMB500 million to RMB700 million in the first half of the year, compared with a loss of approximately RMB1.48927 billion in the same period last year.On August 16, the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported that Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Hatami announced a $30,000 reward for the capture or killing of U.S. soldiers. The reward will reportedly be given to any Iranian soldier who comes from "the Iranian people."On August 16, Zijin Mining International (02259.HK) announced that in the first half of the year, thanks to the full contribution of newly acquired assets and the continued optimization of mature mines, gold production increased by 44% year-on-year to approximately 27.3 tons; revenue and profit attributable to owners of the parent company increased by 100% and 179% year-on-year, respectively, and net cash flow from operating activities increased significantly by 331% year-on-year.On August 16, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that Ukrainian forces attacked the "Kamensky Joint Enterprise" in Rostov Oblast, Russia, a Russian military-industrial complex. The Ukrainian side stated that a fire broke out at the target site, and the extent of the damage and the results of the operation are still being verified. The Ukrainian military stated that this military-industrial enterprise is a major Russian military-industrial enterprise, producing solid rocket fuel for the "Hurricane," "Tornado," and "Tornado-S" multiple rocket launcher munitions, as well as related fuels for various missile systems and air-to-ground weapons. On August 16, local time, the Russian Ministry of Defense released a 24-hour combat report stating that Russian forces had taken control of two settlements: Pershomalievka in the Donetsk region and Kudyevka in the Kharkiv region. The report stated that Russian air defense forces shot down 14 guided bombs, 1 US-made HIMARS rocket, 9 Flamingo long-range cruise missiles, and 1,478 fixed-wing drones. This is the highest number of Ukrainian drones shot down in a single day as reported by the Russian Ministry of Defense to date.On August 16th, according to a report by Axios, citing three sources familiar with the matter, in mid-May, US negotiators encountered a problem when attempting to reach an agreement with Iran to end the war: they were unsure whether the Iranian representatives across the negotiating table truly represented the countrys powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The report stated that, therefore, Trump administration officials took an unusual approach—bypassing Iranian negotiators and contacting the IRGC leadership directly. The person chosen by the US to oversee this secret communication channel was Nechirvan Barzani, the president of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. He possessed an extremely rare advantage: the trust of both the US and the IRGC leadership. This incident highlights that a key reason for the difficulties in US-Iran negotiations lies in Washingtons inability to ascertain who truly holds decision-making power in Iran. The US and Iran did ultimately reach a memorandum of understanding, but it quickly collapsed.

S&P 500 Price Forecast – Stock Markets Give Up Early Gains

Technical Analysis of the S&P 500

Initially attempting to rise during Wednesday's trading session, the S&P 500 eventually gave up gains and lost momentum due to the thin markets' lack of current interest. The 3800 level underneath should be sustained, but if we decline below that, it would be possible to slide considerably lower, maybe as low as the 3700 level.


At this point, rallies ought to be fading, therefore the 3900 level and the 50-Day EMA can serve as a ceiling from which to resume shorting. When signs of fatigue start to surface, they will be pounced on, and I won't think twice about shorting them. Because of this, I believe that the market will continue to be negative, although it's possible that unreliable money managers may attempt to pad their books towards the end of the year. This is a frequent occurrence since they must at least demonstrate to their customers that they possess the "proper stocks."


It appears like Wall Street will sometimes need a reminder that the Federal Reserve is dead serious, which is an issue that the Federal Reserve itself caused by coddling traders for 14 years, so I believe it's just a matter of time until we continue to go lower. In light of this, I am prepared to short this market gradually during rallies and when it begins to show symptoms of tiredness. However, at this time of year, I am not expecting for large swings, so you must see this through the lens of short-term trading.
