According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, a 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Occidental Mindoro province in the Philippines at approximately 10:38 a.m. on August 7, with a focal depth of 10 kilometers.August 7th - TSMC has achieved a breakthrough in next-generation technology, successfully developing a high-performance monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) top-gate transistor in collaboration with a team from National Chiao Tung University, which could help push the limits of Moores Law. The findings were published in the journal *Nature Electronics*.On August 7th, it was learned from the Anhui Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Computing Chips that a joint research team from Origin Quantum and the University of Science and Technology of China has successfully solved the long-standing problem of the trade-off between speed and fidelity in superconducting quantum computing by proposing the innovative "Parameter Space Extended Controlled Phase Gate (PSE-CZ)" scheme. This allows a two-qubit quantum gate to significantly improve accuracy while maintaining high speed. The relevant results have been published in the top international physics journal *Physical Review Letters*, and experimental verification was completed on my countrys independently developed superconducting quantum computer, "Origin Wukong".Hong Kong-listed stocks related to large-scale modeling continued to rise, with MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) up nearly 25% and Zhipu (02513.HK) up over 17%.Chinas total imports in July amounted to 1,945.44 billion yuan, compared to 1,961.62 billion yuan in the previous month.

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.
