On July 28, Citi stated that the baseline scenario indicates that, despite the third quarter historically being a peak season for seasonal stocking, India's gold imports are expected to remain sluggish in the third quarter. This is due to ample scrap supply, cautious consumer sentiment, and local price discounts, which have suppressed fresh import demand. Nevertheless, Citi has set its short-term gold price target at $4,500 for the 0 to 3-month period. The bank noted that this target assumes a de-escalation of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and a shift towards a less hawkish stance by the Federal Reserve. However, there are still numerous short-term risks that could lead to a further decline in gold prices, including significant re-escalation, AI-driven de-risking operations, and the Fed maintaining a hawkish position.

On July 28, the financing boom driven by artificial intelligence infrastructure is facing stricter scrutiny from the bond market. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group shows that the credit default swaps (CDS) related to Oracle, SpaceX, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Broadcom, and Nvidia have recently risen to record highs, indicating that investors are beginning to demand higher risk compensation. Credit default swaps, or CDS, are akin to purchasing insurance for corporate debt. A higher spread typically means that the market perceives greater risk in holding the related bonds. Oracle is under the most pressure, with its five-year CDS rising to 215 basis points on Monday, significantly up from 144 basis points at the beginning of the year. At this quote, the cost of providing one year of protection for $10 million of Oracle debt is approximately $215,000. Nvidia's five-year CDS peaked at around 82 basis points on Monday, marking the largest intraday increase since the related contracts began active trading last November. According to ICE Data Services, this means that purchasing five-year default protection for $10 million of Nvidia debt would require an annual payment of about $82,000. Alphabet's five-year CDS reached a historical high of 67 basis points on Monday. However, Alphabet's CDS will not start trading until November 2025, so the historical comparison for this 'record high' is relatively short. The credit market's concern is not about a sudden drop in AI demand, but rather a mismatch between investment scale, return cycles, and financing speed. Standard & Poor's estimates that capital expenditures for Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle could total $737 billion by 2026, significantly higher than $261 billion in 2024.

On July 28, Asian stock markets plummeted significantly due to an intensified sell-off in chip stocks, with regional benchmark indices heading towards a technical correction. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index fell by as much as 3.5%, marking a cumulative decline of over 10% from its peak on June 22. Shares of South Korea's Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix dropped sharply, dragging the KOSPI index down by more than 10% during trading. Concerns over overcrowded positions in chip stocks led to a global sell-off in the semiconductor sector on Tuesday, with investors questioning the sustainability of the AI-driven rally. Nvidia is pushing forward with a new round of AI-related deals valued at over $750 billion, a move that has sparked skepticism—critics warn that this is artificially inflating market demand and valuations across the industry. 'For AI-related semiconductor stocks, market sentiment has shifted from greed to fear,' said Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Credit Suisse. 'Investors are now inclined to interpret various news negatively and use it as a reason to sell, rather than deeply analyzing its true impact on fundamentals.'

According to monitoring by Beating, Claude's sharing feature has a privacy vulnerability. After users generate public links, some conversations and artifacts are indexed by Google and Bing, allowing strangers to find them through search. Exposed content includes cryptocurrency wallet information, access keys, resumes, company documents, as well as personal details like names and addresses. Additionally, users have made legal consultations, political leanings, and private conversations public on the sharing page. These conversations were originally set to be accessible to anyone with the link, but the links were randomly generated, leading many users to believe that only the recipient could see them. Claude only prevents crawlers in the robots.txt file and did not add a noindex tag to the pages, meaning search engines may still index the links. Currently, related results have largely disappeared from Google, but Bing still shows about 600 entries. Anthropic has not clarified whether a complete fix has been implemented.
