The Implementation Plan systematically outlines the development goals for the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Areas city of artificial intelligence over the next two years, proposing to accelerate the construction of a city-level engineering experimental platform driven by data and scenarios, and to promote the application of artificial intelligence in various industries and households. The Implementation Plan specifies that by the end of 2027, the focus will be on building no fewer than 10 benchmark intelligent scenario complexes, promoting the application of 100 vertical models, constructing a number of high-quality industry datasets, gathering 1,000 core enterprises in the artificial intelligence industry chain, attracting 10,000 super individuals and independent developers, and significantly enhancing the scale and level of the core industries of the intelligent economy.On January 31st, Seth R. Freeman, Senior Managing Director of GlassRatner Consulting & Capital Group, pointed out that one of the primary tasks of Warsh, the newly nominated Federal Reserve Chair, will be rebuilding credibility in global markets. This is particularly important against the backdrop of strained relations between Trump and Powell over the past few months. Freeman also stated that Warsh is the best candidate, given his long experience in government. However, the best news is that we no longer have to deal with the uncertainty and market turmoil caused by Trumps constant pressure on the Fed Chair, which is good for everyone. Furthermore, he noted that the sharp drop in gold and the even more dramatic decline in silver indicate that the market is facing a stronger dollar and a different environment, especially for silver. Given this nomination, it would be unsurprising if metal prices do not rebound significantly. And given Warshs hawkish leanings, traders heavily invested in precious metals may face losses, especially those with unhedged or short positions. Some traders may find themselves in serious trouble next Monday, at least those who did not take a neutral stance or short precious metals.The U.S. Geological Survey reports a 5.3-magnitude earthquake 110 kilometers south of Akureyri, Iceland.

USD/CAD slips below 1.2870 as the DXY struggles above 104.000 and oil prices reach $110,000

After falling below the critical support level of 1.2870, the USD/CAD pair has declined to about 1.2860. As oil prices have extended their recovery and are currently trading over the psychological resistance of $110.00, it is expected that the asset will continue its losses and finish below 1.2860.

 

Notable is the fact that Canada is the United States' largest oil exporter. Therefore, higher oil prices lead to greater cash flows into Canada. Instead of focusing on advanced recession concerns, investors have decided to support current supply constraints, resulting in a strong oil price recovery.

 

After Western leaders banned Russian oil imports, the OPEC cartel is attempting to settle supply issues. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are the only OPEC members able to considerably expand the global oil supply. Both countries are seeing high prices and ample supply.

 

In the meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) fails to firmly above the 104.00 round-level barrier. As rapidly as the Federal Reserve (Fed) raises interest rates, concerns of a recession intensify. In its monetary policy statement for July, the Fed will certainly hike interest rates to at least 2 percent. A two percent interest rate is sufficient to restrict market liquidity in the United States. This will force the corporate sector to prioritize very selected investment projects, resulting in an extended drop in labor demand.
