June 6th - According to the Financial Times, Meta Platforms (META.O) is considering raising tens of billions of dollars through a stock offering to seek new sources of capital to support Mark Zuckerbergs ambitious plans in artificial intelligence, following Googles record $85 billion stock deal this week. According to three sources familiar with the matter, executives at the social media company have been exploring "innovative" fundraising methods as the company plans to significantly increase its AI-related capital spending to as much as $145 billion this year, with further increases planned for 2027. The discussions have intensified following Alphabets successful funding round this week—which was driven by strong investor demand and increased by $5 billion from the original plan—sources said. However, Meta has not yet hired investment banks and may ultimately not issue new shares. One source cautioned that it is too early to say how the company has decided on its course of action, as all fundraising options are still under consideration.According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), in the week ending June 2, speculators increased their net short positions in CBOT U.S. 2-year Treasury futures by 94,942 contracts to 1,350,188 contracts, U.S. 5-year Treasury futures by 46,091 contracts to 1,369,218 contracts, U.S. 10-year Treasury futures by 41,621 contracts to 829,575 contracts, and ultra-long-term Treasury futures by 27,868 contracts to 287,710 contracts.New York silver futures fell below $68 per ounce, down 8.08% on the day.Bank of England Governor Bailey: Artificial intelligence will grow faster than any previous innovation.According to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), as of the week ending June 2, speculative net long positions in COMEX silver futures increased by 188 contracts to 10,433 contracts.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
