Based on recent regulatory enforcement practices, the guidelines refine the identification of illegal fee collection practices by commercial banks in areas such as syndicated loans, loan commitments, e-banking, and financing advisory services. New prohibitions include not fabricating syndicated loans for illegal fee collection, not illegally charging commitment fees while charging loan interest, and not forcing the issuance of guarantees and charging handling fees. The guidelines also clarify that commercial banks must strictly implement the "Standards for Classifying Small and Medium-sized Enterprises," carefully verify enterprise classifications, and proactively inform enterprises of fee reduction and exemption policies. For fees not eligible for reduction or exemption, if an enterprise objects, the commercial bank must provide proof that the enterprise does not qualify as a micro or small enterprise.

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%.
