According to the Financial Times, Chinese AI startup Dark Side of the Moon plans to release Kimi K3 in the coming days. The model, with parameters ranging from 2 to 3 trillion, will be Chinas largest AI model to date.July 16th - Subsidies in the housing market are increasingly being rolled out across the country. According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of this year, over 20 provinces and cities nationwide, including Guangdong, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Chengmai County in Hainan, Lhasa in Tibet, Huaian in Jiangsu, Jinjiang in Fujian, and Urumqi in Xinjiang, have introduced housing subsidy policies. The biggest change in these policies is the shift from a universally applicable approach to targeted subsidies to more specific groups. Housing subsidies are becoming increasingly refined and differentiated within the housing market regulation toolbox. The biggest beneficiaries of these targeted subsidies remain high-level talent. For example, Huangpu District in Guangzhou has introduced a talent housing subsidy policy, offering subsidies of 100,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, 250,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan respectively to eligible undergraduates (or senior technicians), masters degree holders (or associate senior professional titles, special-grade technicians), doctoral degree holders (or senior professional titles, chief technicians), and postdoctoral fellows who have worked in the district within one year of completing their postdoctoral research.New Zealands National Emergency Management Agency has issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas following a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in the Fiordland region.Kremlin: The difficulties facing the Russian economy are not critical, and macroeconomic stability is guaranteed.Kremlin: We are monitoring the changes in the Ukrainian government; the choice of defense minister will not have any impact.

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.
