On September 12th, at the Xiongan Forum of the 2026 China Computing Power Conference, the Xiongan International Integrated Computing Power Scheduling Center officially launched. The center comprises two main modules: an integrated computing power scheduling platform and an international large-scale model service platform. The Xiongan International Integrated Computing Power Scheduling Platform aims to create a national-level cross-domain computing power scheduling hub, coordinating and aggregating diverse and heterogeneous computing power resources, connecting the computing power circulation network, and solving the problem of isolated computing power. The platform already covers eight national computing power hubs and connects to 44 computing power resource pools in 19 provinces across China, with a total computing power exceeding 27,000 petabytes. Based on the integrated computing power scheduling platform, the Xiongan International Large-Scale Model Service Platform focuses on token scheduling services, aggregating mainstream large-scale models across all categories, and will create a global large-scale model aggregation service hub.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has recalled 223,472 Ford vehicles in the United States due to a potential road hazard caused by a detached fuel tank, which could increase the risk of a collision. Additionally, fuel leaks could cause the engine to stall or increase the risk of a fire.On September 12th, Liz Miller, founder and president of Summit Place Financial Advisors, stated that although the market widely expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates next week, further tightening is "fundamentally unnecessary" given the overall economic stability. Miller said, "I think most investors believe the Fed will raise rates next week, and I think the probability is high. But fundamentally, its unnecessary. Id love to hear the discussion at the decision-making meeting, because some Fed governors firmly believe that they need to act before overall inflation rises and bring it back to the 2% target. However, if we look at the rest of the economy from a patient perspective, its actually quite stable, and Im not sure if a broad-based rate hike is truly necessary. We can continue to observe whether rising oil prices will spread and see core inflation gradually decline."On September 12, 2026, Zhu Hexin, Vice Governor of the Peoples Bank of China and Director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, met with Wong Tin-yau, Chairman of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, and Leung Fung-yee, Chief Executive Officer. The two sides exchanged views on consolidating and enhancing Hong Kongs status as an international financial center and strengthening financial regulatory cooperation between the two places. Li Bin, Deputy Director of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, accompanied the meeting.The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russian troops also attacked a metallurgical plant in the Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD bears at $1,650 on Fed hawkishness and China news

During early Monday morning in Europe, the gold price (XAU/USD) maintains a position close to the intraday low at $1,670. In doing so, metal prices endure the weight of a stronger U.S. dollar amidst a sluggish session caused by Japanese and British vacations. The cause may be related to the Fed's hawkish bets and China-related news stories.

 

US Dollar Index (DXY) reverses a two-day slump while posting intraday gains of 0.18 percent at 109.85 as of press time. Indicators of the U.S. dollar's value versus the six major currencies have recently been buoyed by the University of Michigan's September consumer sentiment report and the market's positive expectations on the Fed's next move. Consequently, the probability of a 75-basis-point (bps) rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased to 80%, while the market's estimates of a one-percentage-point increase in the Fed rate rose to 20% at the latest.

 

US President Biden stated elsewhere, "I'm more positive than I've been in a long time." The national leader also claimed that inflation will be brought under control. On the same line are the covid updates from China, which have unlocked Dalian and Chengdu while observing zero coronavirus cases in Beijing and one, as opposed to zero the day before, outside of Shanghai's quarantine zone. However, US President Biden's willingness to support Taiwan in the event that China assaults Taiwan and hawkish expectations for the Federal Reserve appear to weigh on the steel price ahead of the major monetary policy pronouncements.

 

In addition, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) reduces the 14-day reverse repo rate by 10 basis points to 2.15 percent. "With no maturing reverse repos on Monday, the Chinese central bank injects 12 billion yuan," reports Reuters. The same might have indicated that the dragon nation is not in recovery mode and requires more rate cuts than rate raises, which could have caused the gold price to plummet. The cause is China's position as one of the world's largest gold consumers.

 

In light of this, the S&P 500 Futures post modest losses while mirroring Wall Street's Friday close. Notably, the selling in Japan curbs bond movements in Asia, but yields are robust near the multi-day high due to fears of a recession and hawkish Fed views.

 

Moving forward, a light economic calendar and important market holidays may limit intraday XAU/USD price fluctuations. However, bears are expected to maintain control because to aggressive Fed expectations, which, if dashed, might defy the bearish chart pattern and spark the long-awaited rally.
