The representative said that seven countries, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, will collectively increase production by 188,000 barrels per day next month, with the agreement to be finalized at a video conference on Sunday. Three representatives had already indicated last week that this was their expectation. Like the planned production increases this month, this increase remains largely symbolic, as OPEC cannot actually implement the increases unless the Strait of Hormuz reopens and Persian Gulf exports resume.On May 2nd, Berkshire Hathaway announced a prudent and pragmatic strategy for advancing AI applications. The company explicitly stated that it will not blindly pursue general-purpose AI, but will focus on precisely applying narrow-sense AI to real-world business scenarios. To this end, Berkshire has established three application principles: First, it will bring in high-end technical talent and engineering teams to drive deployment, with senior executives and experienced teams participating in system architecture and implementation; second, it will strictly adhere to security governance bottom lines, strengthen data integration and risk control, and continuously verify the consistency between AI output results and business objectives; third, it will insist that core decision-making power must be controlled by humans, with AI serving only as an auxiliary tool, and all key management, risk control, and business decisions being entirely the responsibility of humans. Simultaneously, the company also emphasizes employee skills retraining to adapt to job transformations in the AI era and strictly controls the operational and compliance risks accompanying the application of technology, ensuring that AI complements rather than replaces its core business.

XAU/USD drops from three-week high above $1,750 ahead of US PCE inflation, according to the gold price forecast

In the Asian session on Friday, buyers and sellers jostled for position near a three-week high, but the gold price (XAU/USD) was unable to maintain its two-day advance. Nevertheless, the price of the precious metal recently declined to $1,754 as the US dollar's yield was tracked in order to delay the bearish tilt before the important inflation report.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) maintains its position at 106.00 while being close to its lowest point since July 2005. Over the past two days, the greenback gauge fell as concerns about the Fed's aggressiveness subsided.

 

On the other hand, a corrective fall in US Treasury rates following a retest of the multi-day low combines the uneven growth triggers to put pressure on the price of XAU/USD. In spite of this, the US 10-year Treasury rates are fluctuating about 2.67 percent, the lowest levels since early April, while the 2-year bond coupons are under pressure at a three-week low, down 0.14 percent intraday at the latest.

 

Following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's tease about "neutral rates," gold traders should have followed the Flash readings of the US Q2 GDP, which marked the "technical recession" by decreasing for the second time in a row, to encourage the USD currency weakness and soar even higher. Despite this, the initial estimates of the US Q2 GDP showed an annualized number of -0.9 percent compared to an expected figure of 0.5 percent and a prior figure of -1.6 percent. Additionally, the US Initial Jobless Claims increased by 256K during the week ended on July 22, above expectations by 253K.

 

However, as the US Q2 GDP fell for the second consecutive quarter, US policymakers—including Fed Chair Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen—teased the idea of a "technical recession" and attempted to dismiss it. The same questions are directed at central bankers who are urging further rate increases to rein down inflation. Additionally, meetings between US Vice President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping went generally well and put downward pressure on the demand for the dollar as a safe haven.

 

China recently raised concerns for the XAU/USD traders after the Politburo meeting by avoiding discussing its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) objective and citing its position as one of the world's top purchasers of gold.

 

S&P 500 Futures increase by 0.5 percent amid these moves to hover close to their best levels since early June.

 

In the near future, it will be crucial to keep an eye on the Fed's favorite inflation indicator, the Core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, which is predicted to increase by 0.5 percent MoM for July compared to its previous rate of 0.3 percent.
