On July 18th, it was learned from the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, that during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence, Chinas pioneering AI-enabled accelerator-driven advanced nuclear energy system (AIforADANES) technology roadmap was launched globally, and its global innovation alliance was simultaneously unveiled. According to reports, this technology roadmap, by building an intelligent system based on a physical intrinsic world model, pioneers a new paradigm of "data + physical model + expert experience triple-driven," resolving the core contradiction between the "uncontrollable black box" nature of AI and the "zero tolerance for error" in the nuclear industry, filling the technological gap in the global implementation of advanced intelligent nuclear energy.On July 18th, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Turing Quantum released QAgent, a quantum-classical hybrid agent platform. This is the worlds first quantum-classical hybrid intelligent agent platform based on optical quantum technology and designed for industry-wide deployment. As a landmark achievement of the 2026 Pudong AI Conference, the platform opens up a channel for the industrial application of AI agents and optical quantum computing power. QAgent uses a large language model and intelligent agents as a unified scheduling entry point, relying on its self-developed optical quantum computing system. It deeply integrates a quantum-classical hybrid computing power foundation, the DeepQuantum quantum artificial intelligence programming framework, a full-scenario quantum algorithm library, and industry-specific tools and skills, achieving for the first time an end-to-end closed loop of "natural language input—intelligent task decomposition—quantum agent collaborative invocation—quantum computing power scheduling—result aggregation and output." This signifies that quantum computing is moving from cutting-edge computing power to industry capabilities, and from expert-driven research tools to agent-driven industrial services.Irans Ministry of Health: Since June 27, the US attacks have resulted in at least 50 deaths and 500 injuries.July 18th - The 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference will be held from July 17th to 20th. Qianjue Robotics showcased its VTLA (Vision-Tactile-Language-Motion) embodied haptic model, haptic multimodal dataset, core data acquisition equipment, and a haptic sensor hardware matrix. Ma Daolin, founder of Qianjue Robotics, stated that unlike traditional single-vision VLA models, the VTLA model innovatively integrates visual and haptic dual-modal perception information, giving the robot visual recognition and tactile perception capabilities. It can capture physical attributes of objects that cannot be obtained by a single vision device, significantly upgrading the recognition dimensions and detection accuracy.On July 18th, Sunrate and Mastercard jointly released a white paper, "Beyond Automation: Defining Agent-Driven Global Payments," at WAIC. The report systematically explains how "AI agents" are reshaping the entire B2B cross-border payment chain. In the traditional model, corporate finance departments must manually verify overseas supplier accounts, compare contracts and invoices, select foreign exchange rates, and bear settlement delays exceeding T+2 days. The report points out that AI agents can automatically extract multi-format invoices, match purchase orders, recommend optimal payment routes and exchange windows based on corporate needs, trigger payments within authorized limits after compliance pre-approval, and automatically complete subsequent reconciliation and anomaly flagging, freeing finance personnel from low-value-added operations.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD consolidates above $2,000 as investors await initial US S&P PMI data

During the Asian session, the price of gold (XAU / USD) is oscillating above the psychological resistance of $2,000.00. After a gradual increase, the price of gold has leveled off near $2,005.00 as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States.

 

S&P500 futures have added some gains during the Asian session following three consecutive declines. As a result of Elon Musk's price-cutting frenzy, Tesla's revenue projections were gloomy, which dampened market sentiment. Near 101.77, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has extended its correction. The USD Index has been consolidating in a range between 100.90 and 102.03 for the past several trading sessions. Therefore, a move that exceeds the previously specified limit will be considered decisive.

 

The subdued USD index weighs on US Treasury yields as well. The demand for U.S. government bonds has increased as weekly unemployment claims have increased. The number of individuals claiming unemployment benefits rose to 245K, exceeding the consensus estimate of 240K. This indicated a softening in the labor market and bolstered expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will not raise interest rates after the monetary policy meeting in May.

 

In the future, the publication of the preliminary US S&P PMI data will determine the impact of the Fed's rate hikes on the scope of economic activity. According to projections, the Manufacturing PMI and Services PMI will decline to 49.0 and 51.5, respectively. A preliminary PMI reading that is weaker than anticipated could impact heavily on the U.S. dollar.
