May 9th - The Ministry of Commerce will hold a special press conference on the APEC Trade Ministers Meeting at 15:00 on Saturday, May 9th, 2026, in the Ministrys press conference hall.On May 9th, it was reported that on May 8th, Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative for International Trade Negotiations, met with Doumont, Director-General of the Treasury of the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry, Energy and Digital Sovereignty. The two sides exchanged views on Sino-French and Sino-EU economic and trade relations. Ling Ji stated that under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, Sino-French economic and trade cooperation has been continuously deepening, with diversified development in trade and investment. China is willing to work with France to implement the Memorandum of Understanding on Strengthening Sino-French Bilateral Investment, providing an open, fair, and non-discriminatory business environment for investment cooperation between enterprises of both sides. China is highly concerned about the series of foreign subsidy investigations launched by the EU against Chinese enterprises investment and trade, as well as the recently released draft amendments to the Industrial Accelerator Act and the Cybersecurity Act, among other trade and economic restrictive tools. China believes these constitute trade and investment barriers and institutional discrimination, which will seriously affect normal Sino-EU economic and trade cooperation and the stability of global supply chains. China hopes that France will play a positive role in promoting open markets within the EU and properly resolving Sino-EU economic and trade differences and frictions through dialogue and consultation.On May 9th, Futures News reported that from a macroeconomic perspective, Trumps primary objectives are to secure low-priced Middle Eastern oil, curb Irans nuclear program, and expand the dollars dominance in oil settlements, rather than perpetuating an energy price crisis. The likelihood of a macroeconomic upside is relatively high, but further analysis is needed. If the escalation of the US-Iran situation leads to a continued surge in oil prices and stagflation, the market will price gold as an inflation hedge and safe haven, thus boosting silver. However, weakness in the industrial sector will drag down silver, limiting its upside potential or causing a pullback. Conversely, if the Middle East situation does not lead to stagflation, and the Federal Reserve begins raising interest rates to mitigate inflation risks, silver will be under pressure. If US-Iran relations ease and the Strait of Hormuz resumes normal navigation, oil prices may fall significantly, and the market may price in a Fed rate cut this year, leading to an upward correction in silver prices. Overall, looking ahead to the second quarter, given the possibility of a breakthrough in the Middle East situation, the logic of a Fed rate hike this year may be disproven. Coupled with the supply and demand situation of regional market differentiation but persistent overall deficits, silver prices are likely to continue their moderate rise.On May 9th, NIO posted on social media to refute rumors that it had been summoned for questioning, stating that they were pure fabrication.On May 9th, JiKrs legal department posted on social media that they have recently noticed a group of social media accounts maliciously spreading information such as "eight new energy vehicle companies were summoned for talks," and using AI software to fabricate false information that JiKr had been "summoned for talks," which has greatly damaged JiKrs brand reputation.

The EUR/USD rise is getting close to 1.0200 as investors await US inflation data

The EUR/USD moves in the 1.0200 range during Tuesday's Asian session after falling from 1.0221 as traders look for fresh data. The major currency pair gained over the first part of the week but lost some of those gains by Monday's close. Recent price fluctuations, however, seem to be constrained by a lack of noteworthy data or events and a cautious attitude ahead of Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

 

Gains in the EUR/USD the day before are shown by higher readings of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index and a drop in US Treasury yields. The primary sentiment indicator Index, however, increased in August from -26.4 to -25.2, which was projected to be the value. According to specifics, the eurozone's present state has improved from this month's lowest position since March 2021, when it was -16.5, to -16.3. The expectations index is at its lowest level since December 2008, despite a little increase to -33.8. It is still very close to that level. The US Dollar Index (DXY), in contrast, saw a daily decrease of 0.19 percent to 106.37.

 

The moderate Azione's resignation from the newly formed alliance ahead of the September elections looks to have put negative pressure on the Euro elsewhere due to Italian political worries.

 

The moderate Azione has backed out of its coalition with the Democratic Party and the +Europe party after only agreeing to do so last week. According to party leader Carlo Calendar, "the parts didn't fit." According to Reuters and Market News Publishing US, the alliance was formed in an effort to stop a more conservative government from taking office after the election on September 25.

 

Notably, gains in the EUR/USD the day before appeared to have been constrained by US President Joe Biden's displeasure of China's efforts to retake Taiwan and his censure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei.

 

These actions caused the 10-year US Treasury rates, which had increased by 14 basis points (bps) the day before, to fall by around seven basis points (bps) to 2.75 percent. Wall Street also started Monday's trading day on a positive one before ending on a mixed note, albeit as of press time, S&P 500 Futures are showing minor gains.

 

Participants in the EUR/USD market may be interested in the second quarter's (Q2) US Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs data. Forecasts suggest that US Nonfarm Productivity may rise to -4.6% from -7.3%, while Unit Labor Costs may decrease to 9.5% from 12.6%. The news regarding Taiwan and Russia will also be important for determining direction.
