According to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, a 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck the Pakistan region.Irans Meh News Agency, citing local officials, reported that the US attack did not cause any damage to the port of Sirik.On June 27th, the toroidal field magnet, the largest superconducting component of the "Comprehensive Research Facility for Key Systems of Fusion Reactor Main Unit," a major national science and technology infrastructure project, completed its final fabrication process and passed expert review. Simultaneously, the high-temperature superconducting central solenoid coil magnet also completed full-condition parameter testing, with its core performance reaching internationally leading levels. The toroidal field magnet is currently the largest fusion reactor superconducting magnet in the world. Measuring 21 meters long, 12 meters wide, and 3.3 meters high, with a total weight of 582 tons, it is currently the worlds largest fusion reactor superconducting magnet. The toroidal field magnet is one of the most important components of the "Comprehensive Research Facility for Key Systems of Fusion Reactor Main Unit." During the operation of the nuclear fusion device, the superconducting magnet generates a strong magnetic field to confine plasma at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius. The toroidal field magnet is responsible for constructing the toroidal magnetic field to confine the plasma, reducing the impact loss of high-energy particles on the vacuum chamber walls. Currently, all key links in the entire magnet chain are domestically produced and controllable, with various performance indicators leading similar international products.On June 27th, Yu Weining, Chief Statistician of the Industrial Statistics Department of the National Bureau of Statistics, interpreted the industrial enterprise profit data for January-May 2026.

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.
