According to sources, several banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase, are offering clients exposure to SK Hynix through swap transactions at a premium of approximately 150 to 300 basis points above the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). In mid-June, some banks were offering clients seeking to establish or renew SK Hynix swap contracts at rates exceeding SOFR by 1000 basis points. Since May 1st, SOFR has fluctuated between 3.50% and 3.69%. Previously, banks quoted extremely high financing rates to allocate limited quotas among clients to meet the demand for new SK Hynix swap transactions, and in some cases, even rejected client requests outright. At that time, the AI boom had driven SK Hynixs Korean shares to rise 11-fold in the 12 months ending June 22nd. As market sentiment becomes extremely bullish, banks are concerned that their portfolios are overly concentrated in these stocks, potentially driving up their financing costs in the repurchase market. Sources say that some banks that previously rejected client requests are now actively seeking new business.The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reports a 4.2-magnitude earthquake in Chiapas, Mexico.The Indonesian rupiah rose to 17,790 against the US dollar.

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).
