[CCTV Finance: Buying Computing Power is Now as Convenient as Buying Electricity] This year, my country's daily word usage has exceeded 140 trillion, a more than 1,000-fold increase in two years. Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need to purchase computing power. To make buying computing power as convenient as buying electricity, the southern region is exploring a new model of computing-electricity collaborative trading. In Shenzhen, an artificial intelligence company consumes approximately 1 billion words daily. The company recently completed its first collaborative computing-electricity trading transaction: publishing computing power needs, timeframes, and budgets, and automatically matching idle computing power at a more advantageous price through an operating platform. "Through the new trading model, the cost is reduced by about 25% compared to the original. Demanders can place orders, and suppliers can bid for them on the platform." In this transaction, the computing power seller was a data center in Guizhou. This idle computing power was listed on the platform and the trading was completed at a lower price than the market price. Currently, this trading platform connects to computing power resources from multiple data centers in five southern provinces. The platform uses an artificial intelligence model to predict electricity prices to guide scheduling. When electricity prices are low, computing power tasks are prioritized; when electricity prices are high, non-urgent tasks are suspended or migrated. For example, if a user submits an AI training task, the system might find that electricity prices are lower in Guizhou, so it might reroute the task to Guizhou. Li Minhong, Marketing Director of China Southern Power Grid, said, "By connecting more buyers and sellers, we can make buying computing power as simple as online shopping: order on demand, pay as you use, and have transparent billing. Buying computing power is as simple as buying electricity."

[ING: Limited Euro Appreciation, Fed Rate Hike Expectations to Dominate] (1) ING analyst Chris Turner said that even with increasing market betting on a European Central Bank rate hike next month, the euro's appreciation against the dollar may still be limited. (2) He pointed out that while ECB officials Lane and Schnabel solidified expectations of a 25 basis point rate hike on June 11, this failed to provide a significant boost to the euro. (3) Turner believes that the dominant theme in the coming weeks will be expectations of a Fed rate hike, which means the euro may struggle to maintain its gains above $1.1650-$1.1660.

[French Consumer Confidence Index Falls to 82 in May, a New Low in More Than Three Years] (1) Affected by the uncertainty caused by the war with Iran and the continued rise in energy prices, the French consumer confidence index fell to 82 in May from 84 in April, the lowest level since March 2023. (2) The French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) said that households’ views on their past and future personal finances have deteriorated again, and their willingness to make large purchases has also dropped sharply. (3) The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to drag down sentiment, and an agreement between the US and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is nowhere in sight. Uncertainty has led consumers to postpone spending, and high energy prices have weakened purchasing power. (4) Although the risk of a sharp spiral of inflation in France is limited, the protracted war is expected to exacerbate economic and financial instability and further weaken confidence. The proportion of households that believe prices will accelerate in the next 12 months remains far higher than the long-term average.

[Kashkari: The Fed must focus on curbing inflation risks, but it is far too early to predict the timing of the next interest rate adjustment] (1) Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari said the Fed must focus on curbing the accumulating inflation risks, but it is "far too early" to predict the timing of the next interest rate adjustment. (2) He said the "inflation shockwave" triggered by the Middle East war may persist, and this concern is gradually being reflected in the bond market. Compared to the risk of a deteriorating labor market, the current inflation risk seems greater, but the Fed "must pay attention to both." (3) Kashkari had supported keeping interest rates unchanged in April, but opposed retaining the dovish forward guidance, advocating for "neutral guidance"—future interest rates depending on subsequent data. He said that since that objection, most data indicates that inflation risks are rising rather than falling. (4) When asked if he still supports neutral rather than hawkish wording, he replied, "I think so for now," but emphasized that "it is far too early for me to predict the timing of the next action."

(4) Energy consultancy Cornwall Insight predicts that UK energy bills will rise again in October and warns that even if the conflict ends quickly, prices will be difficult to return to April levels due to damaged infrastructure and long-term energy supply disruptions.

[Fragile US-Iran ceasefire coupled with uncertainty surrounding Fed signals sends gold prices below $4,500] 1. Gold prices edged lower on Wednesday, with spot gold briefly falling below $4,500 and currently trading around $4,488 per ounce, a drop of about 0.4%. Investors are closely watching the still fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran, while awaiting comments from Federal Reserve officials for clues about the direction of monetary policy. 2. Ilya Spivak, global macro director at Tastylive, said the overall trend remains downward, but the market is in a prolonged consolidation phase, as reflected in today's price action. He noted that the market is increasingly focused on whether a genuine breakthrough can be achieved between the US and Iran. 3. Iran accused the US on Tuesday of launching attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, a move that violates the existing ceasefire agreement and could further complicate diplomatic efforts to end the war. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Rubio stated that reaching an agreement to cease hostilities could still take "a few more days." Both sides had previously indicated progress in drafting a preliminary agreement to end hostilities and restore shipping across the Strait. 4. Investors are also awaiting comments from Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Jefferson, Governor Cook, and other policymakers to assess the impact of inflation on future monetary policy stances. Furthermore, the US April Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, scheduled for release on Thursday, is also closely watched, with the market hoping for further policy clues. 5. Spivak added that inflation risks and bond market movements have a significant impact on market sentiment, to the point that investors' attention has shifted away from gold's own returns. He warned that if the current trend continues, gold prices could fall to "around $3700 to $3800" by the end of the year.

[Japanese Media: Global Crude Oil Inventories Approaching the "100-Day Warning Line"] A recent article on the Nikkei Asian Review website reported that, according to Goldman Sachs, global crude oil inventories could fall below the level equivalent to 100 days of global demand as early as the end of May. The article summary is as follows: Goldman Sachs calculations show that as of the end of April, global crude oil inventories were equivalent to approximately 101 days of global demand, and are expected to drop to 98 days by the end of May. Of this, "visible inventory," observable through satellite and other means, is estimated to be only 73 days of demand, lower than the 74-day level in 2025 and a new low since relevant statistics began in 2018. Meanwhile, as of the end of May, "invisible inventory," mainly consisting of inventories from non-OECD countries and difficult to observe, is approximately equivalent to 25 days of demand. Against the backdrop of slow supply recovery, the global crude oil market is continuously depleting inventories to fill the gap. Although market expectations for the early reopening of the Strait of Hormuz have increased, in reality, only a few ships can pass through the Strait of Hormuz each day, resulting in a daily loss of over 10 million barrels of global crude oil supply.
