according to The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones market data shows that the price of gold has surged by 39% this year, with the annual price increase expected to exceed the most severe of the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2007-09 economic recession. Since 1979, gold futures have not surged this much in a year. In 1979, the global energy crisis triggered an inflation shock that severely impacted the world economy. Nearly three years ago, with the strong support of central banks around the world and Chinese investors increasing their holdings of gold, the price of gold began to rise. However, Western investors have played a role in fueling this year's surge, partly due to their influx into ETFs. Data from Morningstar shows that since January of this year, the net assets of US ETFs related to physical gold have surged by 43%. After Powell hinted that the Fed would begin cutting interest rates at this week's meeting, gold prices rose again in August. Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Bank, said that as of early September, 47% of the net commodity holdings of hedge funds were in gold.

 David Kelly, chief market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, sees signs of a gradual slowdown in the US economy, and he expects this to put pressure on cyclical industries such as manufacturing or retail. He said that lowering the benchmark interest rate is unlikely to reverse this situation. "I believe that if stock market investors think that a rate cut will benefit the overall direction and profitability of the economy, they are simply misunderstanding the situation. When the Fed cuts interest rates, it reduces interest income, it makes people believe that there will be more rate cuts, so they should wait to borrow, it makes people believe that the Fed is afraid of an economic recession - so they start to fear an economic recession."

the Chairman of the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Financial Reporting, Sun Deji, stated that the stablecoin industry in Hong Kong is still in its early stages. Rushing to formulate a large number of detailed audit standards at the moment may be detrimental to the industry. It is expected that Hong Kong may not introduce comprehensive stablecoin audit and accounting guidelines until 1 to 3 years in the future. According to the "Stablecoin Regulations" that took effect in Hong Kong on August 1, stablecoin license holders are required to undergo independent audits every year to ensure transparency and compliance. Sun Deji stated that the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and Financial Reporting may only indirectly participate in the regulation of stablecoins. A cautious regulatory strategy is expected to be applied to stablecoins, similar to the licensing of virtual banks (now known as digital banks) in the past. It will clearly define how to audit licensed institutions and how to recognize, measure, and disclose them in financial statements.
