Fitch Ratings: US private credit default rate hits record high in Q2 2026.The U.S. Senate voted 49-50 to reject a resolution that would have required President Trump to halt hostile actions against Iran without congressional authorization.July 31 – According to the Wall Street Journal, sources familiar with the matter revealed that a data center developer partnering with Anthropic is in advanced talks to borrow $15 billion to build a large data center campus and power plant in Texas, with Google providing financial guarantees and chips for the project. Under the agreement being discussed, a syndicate led by Morgan Stanley will provide a $15 billion loan to Nexus Data Centers for the construction of the campus in Hubbard, Texas. The campus will be equipped with its own natural gas power plant capable of generating 1.6 gigawatts of electricity. The deal could be announced as early as today. Sources said that to help Nexus raise debt financing, Google has guaranteed billions of dollars in lease and electricity payment obligations for Anthropic in case the startup defaults. However, one source indicated that Googles support is limited, covering only the minimum amount required for banks to complete the financing. These guarantees cover four data center lease contracts that Anthropic has already signed, along with corresponding power purchase agreements, with electricity to be supplied by an on-site power plant serving the campus.Moodys upgraded Micron Technology (MU.O)s senior unsecured rating to Baa1 with a stable outlook.According to Israels i24News, sources say that the US strikes against Iran on Wednesday were just the tip of the iceberg of future anticipated actions.

Gold price prediction: XAU/USD slips to $1,690 on Fed forecasts; US retail sales expected

Gold price (XAU/USD) has adopted a downward trend after falling below Wednesday's minimum of $1,693.67. The precious metal is falling nearing $1,690.00 as bears take control of rising probabilities for a massive Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike in the near future.

 

Earlier symptoms of weariness have dissipated as a result of Tuesday's higher-than-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Despite declining gasoline costs, the headline US CPI was announced at 8.3%, which was higher than the 8.2% prediction. The investment community believed that inflation had begun to respond to the Federal Reserve's (Fed) raising interest rates and that a succession of declining price pressures would soon enable the Fed to adopt a 'neutral' stance.

 

However, a US inflation report that exceeded forecasts demonstrates that the road to a neutral monetary policy is far from complete. Moreover, predictions of a one percent rate increase are currently ascendant.

 

In today's session, the US Retail Sales report will be of paramount importance. The economic data estimates do not indicate any improvement in retail demand. This could be the outcome of a fall in consumer confidence in the economy.

 

The gold price has experienced a precipitous decline after demonstrating a textbook-style test and the collapse of a consolidation pattern. On an hourly scale, the consolidation formed within the region of $1,697.12-1,709.62. At $1,698.70, the yellow metal is trading below the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which increases the downside filters.
