Acting Comptroller General Jules Hearst told a House Appropriations Subcommittee on Tuesday that the total cost of the war is "close to $29 billion," due to the additional operational costs of maintaining U.S. military deployments in the Middle East and the costs of updating equipment repair and replacement. This figure is about 16% higher than his estimate of $25 billion when he testified before the House Armed Services Committee on April 29. Hearst also hinted that the cost figure may continue to change in the future.A spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Defense warned that if its enemies do not accept Iran’s demands through diplomatic means, they should be prepared to “fail again” in any future confrontation.New York City Mayor Mamdani has cancelled the planned increase in New York City property taxes in the revised budget.On May 12th, Futures News reported that, according to foreign media, German analysis firm Oil World stated on Tuesday that EU canola production is projected to increase to 20.97 million tons in 2026/27 from 20.52 million tons in 2025/26, while imports will decrease to 6.5 million tons from 6.9 million tons this year.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD will continue to fluctuate above $1,900 despite a decline in US Inflation

Gold price (XAU / USD) is not in danger despite U.S. inflation figures meeting expectations. Since Monday, the precious metal has been fluctuating continuously between $1,895 and $1,913. The release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) failed to produce a significant reaction in the Gold price; however, the upside bias appears to be solidified as wagers on lesser rate increases from the Federal Reserve (Fed) have increased.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the critical support at 103.50, but it appears vulnerable to further losses as investors' risk appetite has dramatically increased. As market participants purchased S&P500 futures in response to higher odds of a smaller rate hike from Fed chair Jerome Powell, a likely recession in the US economy was postponed, signaling an uptick in optimism.

 

Contrary to the risk-on sentiment, demand for US Treasury bonds remained weak, causing 10-year US Treasury yields to rise above 3.68 percent.

 

The headline As anticipated, the US CPI increased by 0.4% on a monthly basis, and the annual figure decreased from 6.4% to 6.0%. In addition, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, decreased to 5.5% from 5.6% previously. The Fed appears to be pleased with the persistence of a declining trend in US inflation.

 

In the future, investors will closely monitor the US Retail Sales (Feb) data. Monthly Retail Sales data is anticipated to decline by 0.3% compared to the previous release of a 3.0% increase. This indicates that the consumer spending rebound is over and the Fed is on course to achieve its inflation target of 2%.
