Korea Exchange Triggers Circuit Breaker on KOSDAQ Index, Trading Suspended for 20 Minutes

On July 29, according to CNBC, attorneys general from 44 U.S. states sent a letter on Monday to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), arguing that the agency lacks the authority to regulate sports-related event contracts on prediction market platforms. The letter was issued as the public comment period for the CFTC’s first proposed rule on prediction market regulation ended on Monday evening, focusing primarily on sports products on exchanges. The coalition, led by Ohio Attorney General Andy Wilson, stated that the proposed rule exceeds the CFTC’s statutory authority, conflicts with the Constitution, and is arbitrary and capricious. It should be redrafted to clearly state that sports betting cannot be traded on designated contract markets and should instead be governed by state law. Attorneys general from Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Missouri, and Texas did not sign the letter. The CFTC released its first draft of prediction market regulatory rules in June, focusing on sports event contracts and defining "gaming." The CFTC has been clashing with multiple states in court on the grounds of federal preemption and is currently engaged in litigation with nine states.

July 29, a Reuters survey showed that analysts cut gold price forecasts for the first time since the end of 2023. Gold prices have retreated significantly from record highs hit in January this year, but most respondents still believe that continued central bank buying and market concerns over government fiscal sustainability will continue to support gold prices.
In the survey of 29 analysts and traders over the past three weeks, the median gold price forecast for 2026 was $4,509 per ounce, down from $4,916 in the previous survey three months ago. This is also the first time in 11 consecutive quarters that analysts have revised down gold price forecasts.
For 2027, analysts' average price forecast was $4,610 per ounce, down from $5,100 in the previous survey.
Gold prices rose to a record high of $5,595 per ounce in January this year, but then fell sharply in the second quarter, recording its worst quarterly performance since 2013. The market believes that the Iran war pushed up energy prices and strengthened expectations of Fed rate hikes, which were important factors leading to the gold price adjustment. Since the outbreak of the war, spot gold prices have fallen about 22% in total.

July 29 – According to a Reuters survey, analysts have lowered their gold price forecasts for the first time since the end of 2023. 29 analysts and traders expect the average gold price in 2026 to be $4,509 per ounce, down from the $4,916 predicted three months ago; the 2027 average forecast falls to $4,610 per ounce, down from the previous $5,100. Despite the downward revision, the market generally believes that continued central bank purchases, geopolitical risks, and government debt pressures will still support gold's long-term trend. Meanwhile, analysts also lowered silver price forecasts, expecting an average of $72 per ounce in 2026, down from the previous $78. Additionally, Commerzbank again lowered its year-end gold target to $4,500 per ounce and its silver target to $67 per ounce. The bank believes that current market expectations for further Fed tightening are too high; if inflation pressures ease and the Fed keeps rates unchanged, gold still has the potential to strengthen again in the future.
