On July 9th, the State Council issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for Carbon Peak Achievement." The plan aims to accelerate the low-carbon transformation of the transportation sector. It will further promote low-carbon energy use in transportation, continuously increase the number of new energy vehicles, accelerate the electrification of public sector vehicles, actively promote the electrification of construction sites, mines, ports, airports, logistics parks, and other operating vehicles and non-road mobile machinery, and phase out old transportation vehicles. It will support the large-scale application of new energy heavy-duty trucks, improve charging and battery swapping facilities, and green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol refueling facilities. It will focus on building zero-carbon highway transportation corridors on national highways and ordinary national roads with high freight volumes, and accelerate the improvement of clean transportation levels. It will also develop electric, liquefied natural gas, biodiesel, and green methanol-powered ships. The plan will accelerate the adjustment and optimization of the transportation structure, continuously increase the proportion of bulk cargo transportation by rail and waterway, and the proportion of new energy vehicle transportation. It will further implement the strategy of prioritizing urban public transportation development and create a green urban travel system. By 2030, the plan aims to achieve a 30% share of new energy vehicles and a 25% share of new energy operating vehicles.Irans Ministry of Health: US airstrikes on Iran over the past two days have killed 14 people and injured 78, with 47 of the injured still hospitalized.China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM): FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen sold a total of 143,812 passenger vehicles in the Chinese market in June.According to a Reuters survey, the renminbi is the only Asian currency to receive bullish bets in this round of surveys.According to Al Arabiya, Bahraini authorities have announced that the danger has passed.

Before the US PMI is released, the gold price is expected to rise beyond $1,740 per ounce

On the back of conflicting forecasts for US Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) data, the gold price (XAU/USD) is trying to break above $1,740.00. A new monthly low of $1,727.85 was recorded for the precious metal on Monday, but it has since rallied strongly. Given the lack of impetus in the upward trend, the gold price is likely to stay volatile. However, a pullback may be less profitable.

 

The consensus for the S&P Global Manufacturing PMI is 51.5, which is down from the prior reading of 52.2. When compared to its previous reading of 47.3, the Services PMI has room to grow.

 

The yellow metal has been supported by the disappointing early estimates of US Durable Goods Orders. From a previous release of 2%, the market expects the economic figures to sharply decrease to 0.5%. It's important to note that the most recent reading showed no change in underlying pricing pressures, which stood at 5.9%. So, we expect to see little change, if any, in the Durable Goods Orders numbers. Unfortunately, a precipitous drop in economic statistics portends a precipitous drop in demand.

 

The other thing that will be in the spotlight is Federal Reserve (Fed) chair Jerome Powell's remarks from the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium. US economic conditions and Fed Powell's direction on inflationary pressures and interest rates will be determined by him.

 

Gold prices on an hourly scale are looking to continue their recovery after breaking above the $1,729.44 61.8% Fibonacci retracement (set from the low of $1,680.91 on July 21 to the high of $1,807.93 on August 10). Gold has been testing the resistance of the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $1,738.00; a sustained move above this level would signal a change in trend toward the bullish side.

 

Furthermore, the Relative Strength Index (14), which had been negative in the 20.00-40.00 range, has moved into the bullish 40.00-60.00 zone, indicating that gold prices are currently not bearish.
