Gold XAUUSD spot closed yesterday below key support at $1,780 there by confirming down trend on both short- and medium term. A down trend that is likely to take Gold down to 1,670. Support at 1,721.
RSI on daily is touching the RSI low in May where market bounced. We could see a similar scenario this time where Gold will try to get back above the 1,780. However, the down trend seems strong so it will most likely just be a brief pullback above the now resistance.
Silver XAGUSD broke its key support two weeks ago and is now trading below its 200 weekly SMA. Some support could be seen at the 0.618 retracement at 18.36 and at around 16.95.

The emergence of advanced AI systems is by far the most surprising event this year, turning everything upside down, while risks and benefits are debated. AI will also become an arms race between the US and China.

The AI fever has turned the technology into a darling, pushing crypto further into no-man’s-land. There are striking similarities between AI and crypto, and if these are to come full circle, AI won't be spared for bubbles.

Stocks related to artificial intelligence (AI) have appeared on investors' radars. Expectations are high, but it may be necessary to consider how to get exposure to AI in a diversified way.

The USD is on its back foot as markets celebrate an eventual Fed rate peak and steady long US yields. The stakes are even higher for the Japanese yen if longer major sovereign yield curves have to price in economic acceleration.

While commodities, broadly speaking, have faced some tough months, a partial reversal during June could signal that the asset class is getting back on its feet with energy holding up and precious metals with upside potential.

As inflation remains high central banks face hard decisions about whether they should keep hiking interest rates or stop. Meanwhile, the rise of AI creates bubble-like conditions that only make the decision harder.
