February 26th - To better leverage the role of the patent priority examination system and strengthen support for key areas and core technologies, the State Intellectual Property Office, focusing on key industrial sectors and addressing the reasonable demands of innovation entities to expedite patent examination, authorization, and confirmation, has drafted the "Draft Amendments to the Measures for the Administration of Patent Priority Examination (for Public Comment)," which is now open for public comment until March 30, 2026. This amendment primarily focuses on current management and operational issues, systematically optimizing the patent priority examination management mechanism. The overall approach includes the following aspects: First, adapting and improving access conditions to meet new circumstances and requirements, emphasizing support for national needs; second, improving the entire chain of operational management mechanisms and strengthening precise service guarantees; third, enhancing service convenience to effectively respond to public concerns and the expectations of innovation entities; and fourth, promptly elevating well-functioning practices and widely accepted experiences into regulations.The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that deploying British troops to Ukraine would not end the conflict, but rather prolong the war.Market news: Iran-US nuclear talks have been suspended but are expected to resume later this afternoon Geneva time.February 26th - At a press conference held today (February 26th), it was announced that the State Administration for Market Regulation will launch a six-month nationwide special campaign starting in March to crack down on false advertising in the online food and health food sales.

Gold prices held steady on Tuesday as the dollar strengthened, putting downward pressure on the yellow metal. The dollar strengthened as the yield differential remained in favor of the dollar. Riskier assets increased in value, removing some of the safe-haven bid from gold prices.

 

The Commerce Department said Tuesday that housing starts grew unexpectedly by 0.3 percent last month to a rate of 1.793 million units on an annual basis. February data has been revised upward to 1.788 million units from 1.769 million units previously reported. Housing starts were expected to decline to 1.745 million units. Permits for future home construction increased by 0.4 percent last month to 1.873 million units.

Technical Evaluation

Tuesday's gold prices plummeted. Prices appear to be clinging to support near the 10-day moving average of 1,953. Near the April highs of 1,999, resistance is present.

 

Momentum has shifted negative in the short term as the Fast Stochastic generated a crossover sell signal. Prices are excessively high. The fast stochastic slid from above the overbought trigger level of 80, indicating that negative momentum is intensifying.

 

The medium-term momentum is positive, as the MACD histogram recently issued a crossing buy signal. The MACD histogram's trajectory is decelerating, indicating consolidation.
