"The market usually becomes weary of the debt ceiling bluster. Although the initial unpredictability benefits gold, the stronger dollar shows that investors are confident a deal will be struck, according to Michael Langford, director at business consultancy company AirGuide, who spoke to Reuters.

US President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made a commitment to continue discussing but were unable to come to an agreement on Monday over how to increase the $31.4 trillion debt ceiling for the US government with only 10 days left before a potential default that may destroy the economy.

James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, suggested that raising the policy rate could be necessary, which put further pressure on gold. The demand for the asset with no yield is reduced by rising rates.

Key risks for gold, according to AirGuide's Langford, have, however, diminished as a result of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's indication that it could be time to stop raising interest rates.

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...
