Sun Lei emphasized that this meeting was not a suitable forum for discussing the South China Sea issue, but China had to clarify its solemn position regarding erroneous claims. The "South China Sea Arbitration Case" violates the principle of "state consent." The "arbitral tribunal" exceeded its authority and rendered a wrongful judgment; its "award" is illegal and invalid. The "arbitration case" is a political provocation disguised as law, aimed at denying Chinas territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea. China has never accepted or recognized this "award," and Chinas territorial sovereignty and maritime rights in the South China Sea are unaffected by it under any circumstances.The UK unemployment rate was 4.46% in May, up from 4.40% in the previous month.Switzerlands trade balance in May was 6.11 billion Swiss francs, compared with 3.098 billion Swiss francs in the previous month.The UKs ILO employment figure for the three months ending in April was 100,000, below the expected 75,000 and the previous figure of 148,000.

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%.
