We should view launch failures rationally and focus on the progress of troubleshooting. Currently, my countrys commercial spaceflight industry possesses two major structural advantages. On the one hand, thanks to a rigorous "zeroing out" mechanism, my countrys commercial spaceflight industry can systematically troubleshoot faults and accelerate technological iteration. On the other hand, the parallel exploration of multiple technological routes has formed a pattern of risk diversification and technological complementarity, which is expected to significantly shorten the technology maturity cycle and achieve substantial breakthroughs in key areas. At the same time, the long-term healthy development of the commercial spaceflight industry requires patient capital support. Commercial spaceflight technology has high barriers to entry and a long verification cycle; it is currently still in a critical stage of market cultivation and capacity building. Capital should focus on the long term, targeting companies with core technological strength and clear commercial paths, and avoid short-term speculation that could disrupt the industrys development pace.January 20th - The State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, January 20th, 2026.

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.
