On August 21st, at the Hong Kong Stock Exchanges 2025 interim results conference, some market participants suggested extending trading hours. HKEX CEO Chan Yi-tings response was misinterpreted by some as "HKEX is exploring a 24-hour trading mechanism." On August 21st, HKEX spokesperson Chan Yi-ting stated that the exchange is committed to providing greater convenience for investors and is open to all relevant suggestions. However, due to the significant impact and challenges of extending trading hours on the overall market, extreme caution is required and consultation with all market participants is necessary. For example, if something goes wrong, there are still a few hours to remedy the situation, whereas with 24-hour trading, there would be no room for maneuver.A group of Indian state ministers has backed the federal governments proposal for a new goods and services tax structure.On August 21, Baihua Pharmaceutical announced that its operating income in the first half of 2025 was 202 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.95%.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD soars above $1,780 amidst a turbulent US Dollar; US CPI in the focus

Gold price (XAU/USD) rebounded after falling below the critical level of $1,780.00 during the Asian session. The precious metal had a significant decline on Monday as investors anticipate the Federal Reserve (Fed) to signal a higher interest rate peak for CY2023.

 

A resurgence in the price of gold is contingent on an improvement in risk appetite. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen below 105.00 in early trading, and further losses are anticipated in the days ahead. On Monday, S&P500 futures rebounded well as investors shrugged aside the uncertainty caused by inflation predictions. Yields on 10-year US Treasuries have under pressure and fallen below 3.60 percent as the Fed is very likely to signal a pause in future interest rate hikes.

 

A fall in one-year consumer inflation forecasts in the United States has also diminished consensus on casual inflation statistics. In November, the economic data decreased to 5.2% from 5.9% in October, marking the largest one-month loss on record. The headline inflation rate is anticipated to decline to 7.3% from 7.7%.

 

Analysts at JP Morgan Chase & Co. believe that a weak reading of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) might unleash a significant surge in U.S. stocks. Bloomberg reports that the 500-stock index of the United States might gain up to 10% if headline inflation falls to 6.9% or less.
