On August 12th, Omdia announced that it has revised its 2026 global semiconductor market revenue growth forecast to 94.1% year-over-year, driven by strong growth in the DRAM and NAND markets due to AI demand continuing to outpace global supply capacity. Memory IC revenue is expected to account for more than 50% of total global semiconductor revenue in 2026. Meanwhile, AI demand has exceeded the current chip manufacturing and packaging capabilities of the semiconductor industry, and bottlenecks in key areas such as high-bandwidth memory (HBM), advanced packaging, and advanced process technology capacity are expected to persist until at least 2027.The local governor said drone debris struck four industrial facilities in Russia’s Krasnodar region.The local governor said that last nights drone attack on Russias Krasnodar Krai resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, including children.Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: Canadian crude oil arrived in Japan today, the first time since the deterioration of the situation in the Middle East.On August 12th, according to the Financial Times, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Collins stated that the war in Iran has exacerbated cost-of-living pressures, leaving many in the US struggling to make ends meet. She warned that the Fed may need to raise interest rates to curb inflation. Collins noted that businesses and households in the northeastern US are being squeezed by inflation, which has exceeded the central banks 2% target for over five years. She pointed out, "I hear about [prices] in almost every conversation (with businesses)." She added, "Among low- and middle-income households, I hear more and more about the challenges they face…like struggling to make ends meet. Energy prices are really unbearable, especially in our region." Collins, who currently has no voting rights on the FOMC, supported keeping interest rates unchanged in July, considering the current level "slightly contractionary" and stating that "this would allow them to expect a gradual and sustained decline in inflation." However, she indicated that she would be willing to support a rate hike as early as September if economic data suggests the need for one. She said, "I do think that economic conditions in the coming months may require a tighter policy, in which case I am prepared to raise interest rates."

Forecast for the price of gold: XAU/USD advances toward $1,800 on a decline in consensus for US inflation

The price of gold (XAU/USD) has slowed down since reaching a peak over $1,790.00 during the Asian session. After a sharp rally, the precious metal is stabilizing in a higher market profile but the upward energy has not yet been exhausted. On the back of reduced projections for the US Consumer Price Index, the shiny metal is moving closer to the psychological resistance level of $1,800.00. (CPI).

 

According to market expectations, the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) will drop from its previous release of 9.1 percent to 8.7 percent. The consensus has decreased by 40 basis points, which is supported by the recent decline in oil prices. On account of growing recessionary fears and diminishing supply concerns, black gold lost its luster. This may encourage the Federal Reserve (Fed) to set interest rates a little lower this time.

 

Investors should be aware that a temporary decrease in price pressures does not signify that the Federal Reserve's (Fed) difficult work is finished. For the inflation rate to assert that the price pressures have subsided, a string of downward changes must be visible.

 

After receiving bids in the lower part of the Rising Channel that was established on a four-hour scale, gold prices have significantly recovered. The upper part of the aforementioned chart pattern is drawn from the high of July 22 at $1,739.37, and the lower part is drawn from the low of July 27 at $1,711.55.

 

The 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1,775.50 has been held by the bulls in gold. Although there has been a correction, the 50-EMA at $1,767.11 has held steady, showing that the short-term trend is incredibly optimistic.

 

Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has made an attempt to break above 60.00; if this is successful, it will support gold bulls even more.
