On March 29th, it was learned from the Beijing Financial Regulatory Bureau that Beijing has taken the lead nationwide in launching the development and application of commercial insurance products for intelligent connected new energy vehicles. The new products largely follow the existing new energy commercial vehicle insurance system, adhering to the principle of "overall stability with partial optimization." They primarily provide risk protection for specific intelligent driving scenarios and software/hardware losses that are of concern to consumers and automakers, and can be uniformly adapted to all levels of intelligent connected new energy vehicles from L2 to L4. For example, existing car insurance products mainly define drivers based on the basic scenario of "human driving," which is not fully applicable to L3 and L4 level "human-machine co-driving" or "machine driving" scenarios. Furthermore, for L2 level assisted driving vehicles, some consumers upgrade their assisted driving systems at their own expense after purchasing a new car, but existing car insurance products do not cover this portion of the loss, requiring further optimization.According to Iranian state media, Iranian Parliament Speaker Qaribaf stated that the United States talks about negotiations in public but is secretly planning a ground offensive.On March 29, local time, a U.S. military KC-135R aerial refueling tanker encountered an emergency during a mission and was forced to return to Tel Aviv, Israel.The Israel Defense Forces have detected another ballistic missile launch by Iran.

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.
