On September 14th, Baker Hughes Oilfield Services (BKR.O) Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli stated that he has not yet observed any signs of a slowdown in investment in large energy projects due to rising borrowing costs, and that the construction of global artificial intelligence infrastructure is driving strong demand for natural gas and electricity.

She pointed out that even if the Fed raises rates in September, gold may still experience a "reflexive pullback," but this will not disrupt the overall recovery trend.At the close of the morning session, most domestic futures contracts fell.
