  • Citi Maintains Short-Term Gold Price Target of $4,500

    On July 28, Citi maintained its short-term gold price target of $4,500 per ounce for the next 0 to 3 months. This target assumes a de-escalation of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and a shift to a less hawkish stance by the Federal Reserve. However, there are still numerous short-term risks that could lead to a decline in gold prices, including significant re-escalation, AI-driven de-risking operations, and the Fed's continued hawkish position.

  • The Big Short Prototype: Any Tech Giant Cutting AI Spending Will Cause US Stock Market to Plummet

    On July 28, Steve Eisman, known for his role in 'The Big Short', issued a new warning that if any major tech giant cuts its artificial intelligence (AI) capital expenditures, the US stock market will 'plummet'. He pointed out that the current market has turned into a single trading environment that is completely reliant on the success or failure of AI. The market's perception of AI has changed dramatically compared to a year ago, when investors enthusiastically welcomed every increase in capital expenditure. 'The situation is now much more complicated. This doesn't mean it's all bad, but it is indeed much more complex.'

  • U.S. Conducts Surprise Inspections at Chinese Factories in Vietnam, Raising New Tariff Concerns

    On July 28, Bloomberg reported that U.S. Customs officials conducted surprise inspections at Chinese-owned factories in Vietnam, heightening market concerns that the White House may soon find an excuse to impose additional tariffs on the Southeast Asian nation. As sensitive trade negotiations between the U.S. and Vietnam are still ongoing, insiders indicated that inspectors rigorously examined relevant documents, sources of raw materials, and production processes to determine how much value was added to products before their export to the U.S., while also investigating potential software intellectual property infringements. The sources noted that although these inspections have raised market fears about the U.S. possibly expanding its tariff regime against Vietnam, no substantial evidence has yet been provided to prove that Chinese goods are being illegally transshipped through Vietnam.

  • Japanese Finance Minister: Monetary Policy Enters New Phase Dominated by Interest Rates

    On July 28, Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki stated that Japan's monetary policy has shifted to a phase dominated by interest rate levels, with prices steadily rising in a healthy manner. Additionally, she does not believe that the 370 trillion yen public-private partnership investment target is overly ambitious. She also mentioned that, apart from what the Prime Minister said yesterday, she cannot comment on the funding sources for food tax reductions. Investinglive analyst Adam Button pointed out that, in the face of rising yen exchange rates, Japanese government bond yields, and inflation rates, Japan will inevitably need to make trade-offs. Some have noted that Japan is facing the 'largest bubble in history,' a view that is not without merit. One of the factors sustaining this situation is the belief that decision-makers will not take overly aggressive actions; however, the performance of past Japanese governments has made it difficult to have confidence in their fiscal discipline. Although Japan's economy achieved solid growth last year, there is no indication that Japan can escape its current predicament solely through economic growth.
