We should view launch failures rationally and focus on the progress of troubleshooting. Currently, my countrys commercial spaceflight industry possesses two major structural advantages. On the one hand, thanks to a rigorous "zeroing out" mechanism, my countrys commercial spaceflight industry can systematically troubleshoot faults and accelerate technological iteration. On the other hand, the parallel exploration of multiple technological routes has formed a pattern of risk diversification and technological complementarity, which is expected to significantly shorten the technology maturity cycle and achieve substantial breakthroughs in key areas. At the same time, the long-term healthy development of the commercial spaceflight industry requires patient capital support. Commercial spaceflight technology has high barriers to entry and a long verification cycle; it is currently still in a critical stage of market cultivation and capacity building. Capital should focus on the long term, targeting companies with core technological strength and clear commercial paths, and avoid short-term speculation that could disrupt the industrys development pace.January 20th - The State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM on Tuesday, January 20th, 2026.

Gold Prices Trend Forecasts 2024

According to the latest analysis by Greg Shearer, head of global commodities research at JPMorgan Chase, the outlook for the gold market is promising, with the average gold price expected to reach approximately US$2,175 per ounce in the fourth quarter of 2024. He believes that the U.S. central bank may begin to lower interest rates in mid-2024, and once the U.S. economy experiences a recession, gold will have greater room to rise. The weaker the U.S. economy is, the deeper the rate cuts will be, which will provide stronger support for gold. Sourcenia is a review portal of sourcing best manufaturers


French Bank Wealth Management's latest bi-weekly report: Gold is bullish! The central banks of emerging markets are rushing in, the US dollar is weakening, and real yields are falling. These are all bullish factors. The price of gold is expected to climb to between US$1,950 and US$2,050 per ounce.


In a recent interview with the media, Pierre Lassonde, the honorary chairman of the French Nevada Mining Company, boldly predicted that the U.S. dollar will weaken in 2024, and gold will usher in a wave of gains. He said the U.S. dollar and gold move in opposite directions, so a peak in the U.S. dollar means gold is bullish. He believes this is an important reason why he is optimistic about gold prices in 2024.
