Market news: NEC, Anthropic, and Japanese financial institutions will collaborate on an artificial intelligence project.Futures Commentary by Everbright Futures: On June 10th, COMEX gold prices plummeted, approaching 4000 points, closing at $4094.1 per ounce, a drop of 4.49%. Domestic SHFE gold opened lower and continued to decline, breaking below 900 points, closing at 892.58 yuan per gram, a drop of 4.11%. 1. On Wednesday evening, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year in May, the largest increase since April 2023, while the core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose 2.9% year-on-year. Although the CPI report suggested that the oil price shock had not yet spread to broader economic sectors, mainly remaining confined to the transportation industry, providing more justification for the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged until 2027, the market still bet on a Fed rate hike in October after the CPI data release, putting continued pressure on gold prices. 2. Geopolitically, Trumps dissatisfaction with the slow progress of US-Iran negotiations, threatening a "very strong" attack on Iranian infrastructure, has fueled renewed market concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict. This renewed geopolitical tension, coupled with expectations of a Fed rate hike, has dealt a double blow to gold, causing prices to fall rapidly again. However, the unusually weak performance of US stocks may force the Fed to be more cautious in its monetary policy rhetoric. With the Feds interest rate meeting next week, the market anticipates a hawkish stance that could further suppress gold prices. However, its also important to watch for unusual "buy the rumor, sell the fact" volatility in gold prices before and after the meeting.On June 11, in response to the critical issue that my countrys mainstream monitoring equipment and core methods for greenhouse gas monitoring and measurement have long relied on foreign technologies, making it difficult to achieve independent and accurate quality control of carbon emission monitoring data at the national, regional, and industry levels, the State Administration for Market Regulation organized leading domestic scientific and technological forces to carry out key technology research on integrated space-air-ground greenhouse gas concentration monitoring, emission inversion algorithms, and monitoring equipment. They successfully broke through the core technology of high-resolution domestic satellite CO2 and CH4 column concentration and emission inversion, breaking the foreign technological monopoly in the field of mesoscale CO2 flux detection lidar concentration and wind field synchronous detection.The Kuwaiti Civil Aviation Authority announced that flights suspended due to the Iranian attacks have resumed.June 11 – Peakfly Aviation announced today that its V2000CG Kerry-class aircraft has officially received its Validated Type Certificate (VTC) from the Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority (DGCA), becoming the worlds first eVTOL aircraft to receive overseas type approval.

The AUD/JPY pair is trading in a narrow range of 92.82-93.90 as investors anticipate the publication of China's National Bureau of Statistics' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures in Asia. The cross has been heading higher for an extended period, despite broader yen weakening.

 

It's worth mentioning that Australia is the world's largest exporter to China, and its better GDP figures will benefit the Australian dollar. The market consensus for China's annual GDP is 4.4 percent for the first quarter of CY22, down from 4% previously, while a preliminary estimate for China's annual industrial production is 4.5 percent, down dramatically from the previous number of 7.5 percent.

 

This week's big event will be the release of the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) April monetary policy minutes. The minutes of the RBA will detail the mathematics underlying RBA Governor Philip Lowe's neutral stance. Additionally, information about Australian inflation will assist market participants in fine-tuning their strategies. Meanwhile, according to Reuters, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is anticipated to maintain its ultra-loose monetary policy despite an upward revision to inflation expectations. Additionally, the agency claimed that the BOJ is projected to lift its fiscal 2022 inflation prediction to above 1.5 percent from the current 1.1 percent in April, while lowering its fiscal 2022 growth forecast from the current 3.8 percent.
