This is part of a further integration of DeepMind into the Google ecosystem. Teams such as Human Resources and Policy will also be moved out of DeepMind simultaneously. The AI Responsibility team primarily researches cutting-edge AI risks, including testing models for chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear risks, as well as studying the psychological impact of user interactions with AI and chatbots. Some employees are concerned that moving out of DeepMind will increase the distance between them and the Gemini model development team, potentially weakening their ability to conduct independent research and identify risks in cutting-edge models. Google stated that the team will retain access to DeepMind, computing power, and personnel resources, and other teams responsible for model behavior, privacy, and security will also remain at DeepMind. This adjustment comes amidst ongoing changes in DeepMinds management and talent pool.According to Saudi Arabias Al Arabiya TV: Two explosions were heard in the port of Mocha, Yemen, as Houthi rebels launched missiles at Mocha again.

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.
