The seminar revealed that in recent years, the Shanghai SASAC has guided its supervised enterprises to deeply implement the "AI+" special action, accelerating the digital transformation of enterprises through AI. The focus has been on promoting four key shifts in AI applications: First, the application scope has shifted from key pilot projects to full coverage, now encompassing all supervised enterprises; second, the focus has shifted from emphasizing computing power supply to a balance between computing power networking, technological breakthroughs, and practical application scenarios, placing greater emphasis on the compatibility of AI technology with real business operations, data, and processes; third, the application form has shifted from question-and-answer assistance to intelligent execution, with applications such as intelligent agents and digital labor being rapidly embedded in investment research and consulting, architectural design, and supply chain scheduling; and fourth, the implementation method has shifted from decentralized implementation to ecosystem collaboration, with resources such as computing power, corpora, models, scenarios, and talent being rapidly coordinated.Turkish Vice President Yilmaz: Due to supply-side pressures from the war with Iran, the strong downward trend in inflation has temporarily stabilized.September 6th - According to Reuters, two sources familiar with the discussions revealed that OPEC+ will maintain its October oil production policy at its meeting on Sunday, as the oil-producing organization needs to agree on new quotas before deciding on its next production move. OPEC+ currently has a layer of production cuts in place, covering most of its 21 member countries, until the end of 2026. Before deciding how to gradually exit the production cuts and return production to the market, the organization needs to review member countries oil production capacity to set a production baseline for 2027 – which will serve as the basis for quotas. Sources previously indicated that this discussion might take place later in 2026, suggesting that OPEC+ might pause production increases in the fourth quarter.On September 6, local time, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Healths Emergency Operations Center issued a statement saying that an attack launched by the Israeli Defense Forces in southern Lebanon that morning had resulted in 4 deaths and 20 injuries.

GBP/USD seeks to regain 1.2300 as higher UK CPI strengthens the case for a rate hike by the Bank of England and the USD retreats

During the Asian session, the GBP/USD pair attempts to reclaim the resistance level at 1.2300. Following a vertical correction, the Cable has recovered to near 1.2260 as the market anticipates that the absence of hawkish interest rate guidance from Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell while addressing the economy at the monetary policy meeting indicates that the Fed is close to ending its policy-tightening spell.

 

S&P500 futures have generated some gains in the Asian session following a decline on Wednesday as a result of Fed Powell's confirmation that the fight against intractable U.S. inflation will continue. Chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell has ruled out rate cuts in 2023, citing the difficulty of controlling inflation. In addition, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's statement that the government "does not plan to insure all uninsured bank deposits" heightened fears of a banking sector collapse.

 

Following a recovery move, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has retreated on expectations that additional credit tightening to protect banking institutions will reduce overall demand, economic activity, and inflation. In the interim, the demand for US government bonds has increased as a result of expectations that US Janet Yellen will end further policy restrictions and reduce support for all bank deposits.

 

On the front of the United Kingdom, the Pound Sterling is likely to maintain its strength as the Bank of England (BoE) is scheduled to raise rates for the eleventh consecutive time. Governor Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bp) in response to rising food and non-alcoholic beverage prices, as well as rising energy costs, which have contributed to inflation in the United Kingdom.

 

In the midst of global banking turmoil, the Bank of England's (BoE) interest rate decision will be difficult, as policymakers were divided over whether to raise rates further or maintain them at their present level.
