A Republican senator has proposed repealing Californias vehicle emissions regulations.U.S. EIA natural gas storage for the week ending July 31 was 33 billion cubic feet, compared with an expected 30 billion cubic feet and a previous reading of 28 billion cubic feet.The U.S. EIA natural gas storage data for the week ending July 31 will be released in ten minutes.On August 6th, Tesla (TSLA.O) announced that earlier this year, SpaceX and Tesla launched Project Terafab—the worlds largest chip manufacturing initiative, integrating logic chips, memory chips, and advanced packaging technologies within a single facility. In April, Tesla broke ground on its new R&D wafer fab at its Texas Gigafactory North Campus, the precursor to Terafab. Today, we are officially announcing that Terafab will be located in Grimes County, Texas. This facility will be an advanced semiconductor wafer fab designed to bridge the huge gap between current global chip supply capacity and future computing demands. SpaceX and Teslas combined chip demand is projected to exceed 1 terawatt (TW) of computing power, a scale far exceeding current global supply capacity. We are highly grateful to existing chip suppliers and encourage them to expand capacity where possible, but the widening gap between future supply and demand is the core reason for the existence of Project Terafab. Terafab aims to manufacture new computing power at an unprecedented scale and speed. The project plans to build a vertically integrated factory with a manufacturing area exceeding 100 million square feet. The facility will encompass the manufacturing, packaging, and testing of advanced logic and memory chips. Centralizing these processes in one location will facilitate rapid iterative improvements and accelerate the deployment of new computing capabilities.Tesla (TSLA.O): TeraFab aims to produce more than 1 terawatt of computing power per year.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD corrects to around $1,910 despite intensifying concerns of a global banking crisis

After reaching a new six-week high at $1,937.39, the gold price (XAU/USD) displayed a corrective move during the Asian session. As gold's allure is extremely strong amid growing concerns about the global banking crisis, a correction in the precious metal appears to be short-lived. Credit Suisse's debacle following the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has triggered the risk of global financial instability, and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's (Fed) upcoming interest rate decision has bolstered the case for the Gold price.

 

S&P500 futures have shown a recovery move following Wednesday's sell-off as investors assess the banking sector's uncertainty. However, the motif of risk aversion has not yet completely subsided.

 

During the Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is fluctuating in a narrow range of around 104.60. It appears that the impact of banking sector turmoil is maturing for the USD Index, and investors are beginning to discount expectations for next week's monetary policy. According to the CME FedWatch instrument, the probability that Fed chair Jerome Powell will raise interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) has risen above 70%. While 30% of the probabilities support maintaining the current interest rate policy.

 

Increasing odds of a status quo monetary policy are supported by a declining Consumer Price Index (CPI), a rising Unemployment Rate, sluggish Retail Sales, and a declining Producer Price Index (PPI).
