Market news: NEC, Anthropic, and Japanese financial institutions will collaborate on an artificial intelligence project.Futures Commentary by Everbright Futures: On June 10th, COMEX gold prices plummeted, approaching 4000 points, closing at $4094.1 per ounce, a drop of 4.49%. Domestic SHFE gold opened lower and continued to decline, breaking below 900 points, closing at 892.58 yuan per gram, a drop of 4.11%. 1. On Wednesday evening, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year in May, the largest increase since April 2023, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 2.9% year-on-year. Although the CPI report suggested that the oil price shock had not yet spread to broader economic sectors, mainly remaining confined to the transportation industry, providing more justification for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged until 2027, the market still bet on a Fed rate hike in October after the CPI data release, putting continued pressure on gold prices. 2. Geopolitically, Trumps dissatisfaction with the slow progress of US-Iran negotiations, threatening a "very strong" attack on Iranian infrastructure, has fueled renewed market concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict. This renewed geopolitical tension, coupled with expectations of a Fed rate hike, has dealt a double blow to gold, causing prices to fall rapidly again. However, the unusually weak performance of US stocks may force the Fed to be more cautious in its monetary policy rhetoric. With the Feds interest rate meeting next week, the market anticipates a hawkish stance that could further suppress gold prices. However, its also important to watch for unusual "buy the rumor, sell the fact" volatility in gold prices before and after the meeting.On June 11, in response to the critical issue that my countrys mainstream monitoring equipment and core methods for greenhouse gas monitoring and measurement have long relied on foreign technologies, making it difficult to achieve independent and accurate quality control of carbon emission monitoring data at the national, regional, and industry levels, the State Administration for Market Regulation organized leading domestic scientific and technological forces to carry out key technology research on integrated space-air-ground greenhouse gas concentration monitoring, emission inversion algorithms, and monitoring equipment. They successfully broke through the core technology of high-resolution domestic satellite CO2 and CH4 column concentration and emission inversion, breaking the foreign technological monopoly in the field of mesoscale CO2 flux detection lidar concentration and wind field synchronous detection.The Kuwaiti Civil Aviation Authority announced that flights suspended due to the Iranian attacks have resumed.June 11 – Peakfly Aviation announced today that its V2000CG Kerry-class aircraft has officially received its Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA), becoming the worlds first eVTOL aircraft to receive overseas type approval.

US Fed Considering CBDC, But Not Decided To Pursue or Implement

The Federal Reserve of the United States has said that it is exploring creating a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The central bank has not yet determined whether or not to pursue or deploy a digital dollar, according to the central bank.


The Fed, on the other hand, has already issued a CBDC report emphasizing the use of stablecoins like USD Coin and Tether; the statement on Thursday is the most important to date.

Fed Exploring CBDC “Benefits and Risks”

In a tweet today, the authority said that it is looking into the possible advantages and hazards of CBDCs.


It has also produced a series of CBDC FAQs, explaining why it is contemplating it now. Given technology improvements ushering in a rush of new private-sector financial goods and services, the Fed believes it is the "appropriate moment" to examine a digital dollar.


CBDCs, according to the bank, might provide a variety of advantages. A digital dollar, for example, might give consumers and businesses a simple, electronic version of central bank money, as well as a platform for entrepreneurs to develop new financial goods and services and promote quicker and cheaper payments.

Lawmakers Critical of Fed’s Progress

US legislators questioned Fed Chair Jerome Powell in January on the pace and status of the Fed's CBDC review, which was set to be released last summer.


Fed Governor Christopher Waller stated last month that he isn't sure that a CBDC is necessary for retail consumers in particular.


"Are we actually in need of it?" That is something I have yet to be persuaded of. It's not to say I couldn't be, but I've never seen that on a retail CBDC."


Tom Emmer, a Minnesota politician, sponsored a measure in January to restrict the Fed from exercising unilateral authority over the US CBDC. The lawmaker wants the central bank to be prohibited from issuing digital dollars to people directly.
