On July 30th, Kingboard Laminates (01888.HK) announced in Hong Kong that it expects to record a net profit of over HK$2.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2026, representing an increase of over 200% compared to the same period in 2025. The significant increase in net profit is mainly due to the continued supply shortage of copper-clad laminates and their upstream materials (including electronic glass fiber yarn, electronic glass fiber cloth, and copper foil), leading to a general increase in product unit prices. Sales volume of copper-clad laminates also increased compared to the same period in 2025. Furthermore, the companys strong and well-established vertically integrated business model also contributed to the net profit growth.Bank of England Governor Bailey will hold a monetary policy press conference in ten minutes.On July 30th, Berenberg Bank economist Felix Schmidt stated in a report that the Eurozones strong second-quarter economic growth data is good news for the European Central Bank (ECB), thus there is no need for excessive concern about the economic growth outlook. Eurozone GDP grew by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter, not only better than market expectations but also an improvement from the zero growth in the first quarter. Schmidt noted that PMI surveys indicate a good start to the third quarter for the Eurozone, although future trends will still largely depend on the Iran war and energy price developments. Therefore, the current market focus remains on inflation, and the inflation trend largely depends on whether the US and Iran can reach an agreement. He stated, "If a ceasefire is achieved, the ECB will be able to maintain key interest rates and enable the Eurozone to achieve robust growth in 2026."Mizuho Bank lowered its target price for Meta Platforms (META.O) from $835 to $750.Mizuho Bank raised its price target for Microsoft (MSFT.O) from $490 to $510.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD oscillates about $1,650 as DXY recovers recent losses

Gold price (XAU/USD) is indecisive while rebounding from intraday lows to $1,650 ahead of Tuesday's European session.

 

Nevertheless, the yellow metal attracted purchasers earlier in the day due to a weaker U.S. dollar, but the currency's recent resurgence looks to have weighed on the price recently. It should be mentioned that unfavorable concerns regarding China, one of the world's largest gold consumers, have recently posed a threat to the pricing of precious metals.

 

In the absence of Fed-speak, the US Dollar Index (DXY) gains bids to reclaim the 112.00 mark while trimming its first weekly loss in three weeks. It should be emphasized that the Fed's aggressive rhetoric and weak US PMIs also support the DXY's safe-haven appeal.

 

China's efforts to protect its struggling economy and worldwide pessimism regarding Xi Jinping's third term, not to mention Hang Seng's decline to a 13-year low, impose downward pressure on market mood and the XAU/USD exchange rate.

 

US 10-year Treasury rates continue under pressure around 4.21 percent, down two basis points (bps), while US stock futures and Asia-Pacific markets are moderately bid.

 

Moving forward, second-tier US Housing data and Consumer Confidence indicators may delight gold speculators before Thursday's third-quarter US Gross Domestic Product report (Q3).
