Wisdom Finance APP learned that with the latest release of the US June CPI and PPI significantly lower than economists' consensus expectations, financial market traders' aggressive expectations for a rate hike by the Federal Reserve have significantly weakened. In addition, the uncertainty of Indonesia's bulk commodity quota policy and the rapid progress of AI data center construction have driven a stronger demand for UPS and battery energy storage systems containing nickel elements, leading to nickel prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) reaching their highest level in three weeks.
