A spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that Iran will not agree to the request made by International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi to visit the damaged nuclear facilities.On July 13th, Citigroup strategists stated that the UK stock markets strong defensive nature and heavy commodity weighting are diminishing its appeal as geopolitical tensions ease. A team led by Beata Manthey downgraded the UKs rating in their global asset allocation from "overweight" to "underweight," favoring investments in the US and Japanese markets. The team maintained a "neutral" rating for European markets excluding the UK. The team stated, "The UK markets strong defensive nature and high commodity weighting have diminished its appeal in an environment of earnings growth and market leadership diffusion." Benefiting from its approximately 10% energy stock weighting, the UK benchmark FTSE 100 index performed exceptionally well until mid-April, with energy stocks such as BP and Shell benefiting from the oil price surge caused by the Iran conflict. Meanwhile, the indexs nearly 35% allocation to defensive sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples made it a relatively safe haven during periods of geopolitical tension or economic recession. However, since the US-Iran ceasefire was announced on April 8th, the FTSE 100 has significantly underperformed.Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson: The region has been in turmoil and instability for the past four months due to the presence of US troops; we have always hoped that countries in the region can learn a lesson from this.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman: The mediators are continuing their efforts to facilitate a settlement between Iran and the United States, including recent efforts.July 13th - Recent changes to Cainiaos domestic supply chain have attracted widespread attention both internally and externally. According to sources familiar with the matter, the previous claim that Cainiaos supply chain had "floated onto Taotian" is inaccurate. In reality, it is an N-company within Alibabas e-commerce business group, operating independently alongside Taotian, and continuing to expand its external market business. As a crucial part of Alibabas logistics system, Alibaba will continue to increase its investment in this area.

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%.
