In a more moderate scenario, the Bank of England expects inflation to fall below the 2% target in the third quarter of next year. However, in a more adverse scenario, the Bank of Englands model shows that inflation could rise above 4% early next year and remain above 2% until 2029. Latest UK data shows that the annual inflation rate fell to 2.6% last month, a larger drop than market expectations.According to the Iranian Students News Agency, a spokesman for the Iraqi General Command denied allegations of an attack on Saudi Arabia from within Iraq, calling the accusations baseless.On July 30th, Kingboard Laminates (01888.HK) announced in Hong Kong that it expects to record a net profit of over HK$2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of over 200% compared to the same period in 2025. The significant increase in net profit is mainly due to the continued supply shortage of copper-clad laminates and their upstream materials (including electronic glass fiber yarn, electronic glass fiber cloth, and copper foil), leading to a general increase in product unit prices. Sales volume of copper-clad laminates also increased compared to the same period in 2025.

Gold Up Over Weakening U.S. Dollar

Asia's gold prices rose on Monday morning as the U.S. dollar sagged ahead of a vacation.


Gold futures rose 0.34 percent to $1,846.80 around 12:30 AM ET, an increase of 0.34 percent (4:30 AM GMT).


On Monday, U.S. markets are closed for a holiday.


"Because today is a U.S. public holiday, liquidity – and consequently volatility – are expected to be lower, making directional moves on gold difficult in the absence of a new impetus," said City Index senior market analyst Matt Simpson to Reuters.


Since May 19, gold has essentially fluctuated between $1,805 and $1,880. This makes it more of a market for traders than for investors. We believe that investors will choose to purchase dips above $1,800 and sell rallies below $1,880," Simpson added.


Concerns that tightening monetary policy could hinder economic development weighed on Asian markets.


Gold finished the previous week lower as a result of a stronger dollar in response to interest rate increases by major central banks. Wednesday, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a 75 basis point increase in interest rates, the largest increase since 1994. The Swiss National Bank unexpectedly increased interest rates by 50 basis points on Thursday, the same day that the Bank of England lifted its rates to 1.25 percent.


In comparison to other precious metals, silver increased 0.64 percent. Platinum increased by 0.14 percent, while palladium increased by 2.25 percent.
