Market news: NEC, Anthropic, and Japanese financial institutions will collaborate on an artificial intelligence project.Futures Commentary by Everbright Futures: On June 10th, COMEX gold prices plummeted, approaching 4000 points, closing at $4094.1 per ounce, a drop of 4.49%. Domestic SHFE gold opened lower and continued to decline, breaking below 900 points, closing at 892.58 yuan per gram, a drop of 4.11%. 1. On Wednesday evening, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year in May, the largest increase since April 2023, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 2.9% year-on-year. Although the CPI report suggested that the oil price shock had not yet spread to broader economic sectors, mainly remaining confined to the transportation industry, providing more justification for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged until 2027, the market still bet on a Fed rate hike in October after the CPI data release, putting continued pressure on gold prices. 2. Geopolitically, Trumps dissatisfaction with the slow progress of US-Iran negotiations, threatening a "very strong" attack on Iranian infrastructure, has fueled renewed market concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict. This renewed geopolitical tension, coupled with expectations of a Fed rate hike, has dealt a double blow to gold, causing prices to fall rapidly again. However, the unusually weak performance of US stocks may force the Fed to be more cautious in its monetary policy rhetoric. With the Feds interest rate meeting next week, the market anticipates a hawkish stance that could further suppress gold prices. However, its also important to watch for unusual "buy the rumor, sell the fact" volatility in gold prices before and after the meeting.On June 11, in response to the critical issue that my countrys mainstream monitoring equipment and core methods for greenhouse gas monitoring and measurement have long relied on foreign technologies, making it difficult to achieve independent and accurate quality control of carbon emission monitoring data at the national, regional, and industry levels, the State Administration for Market Regulation organized leading domestic scientific and technological forces to carry out key technology research on integrated space-air-ground greenhouse gas concentration monitoring, emission inversion algorithms, and monitoring equipment.

Oil Quiet As Price Cap Suggestion Assists in Relieving Supply Concerns

Benchmark Brent oil declined on Thursday, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude remained unchanged, hovering at two-month lows due to uncertainty about the degree to which a proposed G7 restriction on the price of Russian oil would limit supply.


A larger-than-anticipated rise in gasoline inventories in the United States and an expansion of COVID-19 limitations in China also knocked on oil prices.


At 15.15 p.m. ET (2015 GMT), Brent oil prices decreased 29 cents, or 0.3%, to $85.12 per barrel, while U.S. WTI crude futures decreased 2 cents, to $77.96 per barrel.


Due to the Thanksgiving break in the United States, trade volumes were quite low.


The announcement on Wednesday that the expected price ceiling for Russian oil may surpass the current market level triggered a decrease of about 3 percent for both benchmarks.


European Union nations remained divided over what level to cap Russian oil prices to limit Moscow's ability to pay for its battle in Ukraine without causing a global oil supply shock; if positions converge on Friday, more conversations are possible.


A European official claimed that the G7 is discussing a cap of $65-$70 per barrel for Russian oil transported by sea, but European Union member states have not yet reached an agreement on a price.


A higher price ceiling might encourage Russia to continue selling its oil, decreasing the possibility of a global oil supply shortage.


According to two sources, several Indian refiners are discounting Russian Urals crude by between $25 and $35 per barrel compared to the worldwide benchmark Brent oil. Urals is Russia's principal crude export.


Despite the obstacles, Bart Melek, global head of commodities market strategy at TD Securities, is rather optimistic about oil. "The Russian price ceiling is another aspect that contributed to the current price fall," he stated.

In contrast, oil stockpiles decreased by 3.7 million barrels to 431.7 million barrels in the week ending November 18, despite a Reuters survey predicting a reduction of 1.1 million barrels.


China reported the highest daily number of COVID-19 cases since the outbreak began over three years ago on Wednesday. Local officials intensified measures to remove the breakouts, raising investor anxiety over the economy and demand for fuel.
