Sino Biopharm (1177.HK) rose strongly in early trading on Thursday, with the intraday increase expanding to 4.4%, the highest since June 2021.

[Australian Dollar Rebounds Slightly, Strong Economic Data May Fail to Compete Against a Strong Dollar] 1. Despite strong Australian economic data for June, the AUD/USD pair rose only 0.3% on Thursday, currently trading around 0.6453. Data showed a 1.2% month-over-month increase in retail sales in June, significantly exceeding expectations of a 0.4% increase. A 0.3% month-over-month increase in retail sales in the second quarter reversed market expectations of a flat trend. Meanwhile, building permits surged 11.9% in June, significantly exceeding the expected 2.0% increase. 2. However, the Australian dollar remains weak overall. Following the Federal Reserve's unchanged interest rate stance and Chairman Powell's dovishly hawkish signals, the continued strength of the US dollar has suppressed the Australian dollar's gains. Reserve Bank of Australia Deputy Governor Hauser's morning speech, welcoming the slowdown in inflation in the second quarter, failed to significantly boost the Australian dollar. 3. Technically, support for the Australian dollar lies between the 200-day moving average of 0.6390 and the June 23 low of 0.6373, with resistance at 0.6687.

[Gold prices bottomed out and rebounded, with the dual influence of trade risks and Fed policies] 1. Gold prices rebounded from a one-month low on Thursday (July 31) as escalating trade tensions stimulated safe-haven demand. Although the Federal Reserve's signal of postponing interest rate cuts has dampened market enthusiasm, investors are still seizing the opportunity to enter the market at low prices. Spot gold is currently up 0.45%, trading around $3,288.77 per ounce, having fallen to its lowest level since June 30 at $3,268.02 per ounce the previous day. 2. Market volatility is mainly due to the latest tariff measures announced by US President Trump, coupled with the uncertainty brought about by the outcome of the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting. Although the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged, Chairman Powell's statement weakened expectations of a September rate cut. Investors are closely watching the upcoming US core PCE price index. If the data is higher than expected, it may further affect gold trends.

Trump and Dimon Resumed Talks After Years of Feud. (1) JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has visited the White House twice in the past two months, signaling a thaw in the long-standing tensions between the head of America's largest bank and President Trump. According to people familiar with the matter, Dimon met with Trump in the Oval Office last week to discuss economic, trade, and financial regulatory issues. These people said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Lutnick also attended the meeting. During the meeting, Dimon congratulated Trump on his recent trade deal with Japan. These people said they discussed the persistent shortage of affordable housing and the impact of regulations enacted after the 2008 financial crisis on American homeownership. (2) The two also discussed a topic on which they had publicly disagreed: interest rates. Dimon has been a staunch supporter of Powell and the Federal Reserve's overall independence, and he has stated that political attempts to force interest rates lower often backfire. A person familiar with the matter said that during their meeting last week, Dimon told Trump that if the US economy is strong enough, interest rates could fall. Dimon's comments echoed what Bessant said when he tried to persuade Trump not to fire Powell, according to a previous report by the Wall Street Journal. People familiar with the matter said that in June, Dimon had another meeting with Trump and other officials, including Vice President Vance. According to the Wall Street Journal, Dimon and Trump had not had a substantive conversation for years before these meetings this summer. Over the years, the two have publicly attacked each other many times.

[China Merchants Securities: US Stocks Seem to Be Pricing in No Rate Cut in September] A China Merchants Securities research report indicates that the Federal Reserve held its interest rate meeting on July 30th, maintaining the federal funds target rate range at 4.25%-4.50% and maintaining the pace of balance sheet reduction. Powell remains concerned about the risk of stagflation, meaning it will be difficult for the Fed to cut rates as long as the inflation gap exceeds the employment gap. Considering ongoing transport, the additional tariffs imposed on August 1st will only be reflected in September's import data, and then further feed through to inflation in October and November. If this is the case, the impact of tariff inflation may be slower and more prolonged, potentially delaying the Fed's decision to cut interest rates, making a September rate cut a possibility. However, once the tariff inflation threshold is crossed, a rate cut would become a natural outcome. The market may be preparing for no rate cut in September. Currently, the market is pricing in a 45.2% probability of a September rate cut, and the risk-free rate is no longer a positive factor.
