At the end of March this year, TCL Electronics signed an agreement with Sony to establish a joint venture to take over Sonys TV, audio, and other home entertainment electronics hardware business, with TCL Electronics holding a controlling stake. Previously, Hisense had acquired Toshibas TV business. Industry predictions suggest that Chinese companies will further increase their market share in the global TV market. Omdia consumer electronics analyst Zhang Bing believes that the possibility of Hisense acquiring LGs TV business is unlikely, because LG Electronics is projected to rank second in global TV revenue by 2025, second only to Samsung; LG TV shipments ranked fourth last year, after Samsung, TCL, and Hisense. "The possibility of LG Electronics sharing resources and cooperating with Chinese OEMs and brand manufacturers in the TV supply chain cannot be ruled out."

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.
