Analysis: Anthropic IPO Could Ignite AI Stock Rebound as Tech Short Bets Surge
Odaily Report: Wall Street's recent risk-off sentiment toward equities may have set the stage for a strong market rebound. If Anthropic's planned IPO rekindles investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence, tech stocks in particular could be poised for a rally. Data from Deutsche Bank shows that investors have reduced equity exposure to levels broadly in line with historical norms. Active investors' exposure to U.S. stocks has fallen to its lowest level in over a month, and funds employing computer-driven trading strategies have also trimmed positions. Once market confidence recovers, there is still room for a new wave of buying. Hedge funds have acted more aggressively, increasingly betting on falling stock prices.Goldman Sachs Group said that this month, for every $1 of stocks its hedge fund clients bought, they shorted about $5 of stocks. The firm's records show that the scale of hedge funds borrowing funds to bet on falling stock prices is now near the highest level in five years. If stocks subsequently strengthen, these short bets could instead become a catalyst for gains, forcing those betting on declines to buy shares to close out their positions. (Bloomberg)

Deutsche Bank: Gold in Fifth Explosive Phase Since 1979, Fair Value Points to $4,700 to $5,100
According to TechFlow Research, a Deutsche Bank research report on August 13 pointed out that gold is currently in its fifth explosive price phase since 1979, which started in August 2024 and has lasted about 24 months so far, with a peak BSADF statistic of 3.29. The superposition of four factors—central bank gold purchases, de-dollarization, geopolitical risks, and interest rate cut expectations—is driving this round of market performance. Deutsche Bank pointed out that the core difference between this round and the four historical explosive phases (the 1980 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, the 2011 European debt crisis, and the 2020 pandemic shock) lies in the fact that the driving force has shifted from inflation or crisis-driven to the structural behavior of central bank gold purchases. The research report predicts that the baseline scenario for gold's fair value points to USD 4,700 to 5,100 per ounce. The basic model shows the current fair price is about USD 4,700, representing about 20% upside potential compared to the current price. Central bank gold purchases since Q3 2022 have grown 6 times compared to the 2016 to 2021 levels; about half of official gold purchases are not reported in IMF data, and this portion of "unreported demand" remains at a high level. Global gold ETF 30-day rolling inflows are about 1.5 million ounces, and Asian buyers continue to increase holdings. The gold-silver ratio is at a high level, but the shortage of physical silver is easing, and correction signals are unclear.

BIS Project Agorá Completes $1 Million Tokenized Cross-Border Payment Test

Participants included the Bank of England, Banque de France, Bank of Japan, Bank of Korea, and Swiss National Bank, as well as commercial banks such as JPMorgan, Citi, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, UBS, Standard Chartered, and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. Project Agorá is an initiative launched by the BIS in 2024, aimed at exploring how tokenized commercial bank deposits and central bank reserves can improve wholesale cross-border payments.

BIS-Led Project Agorá Completes Million-Dollar Cross-Border Tokenized Payment Test
According to CoinDesk, Project Agorá, led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), recently completed a cross-border payment test with real funds. Participants included 28 commercial banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, UBS, Deutsche Bank, and Standard Chartered, as well as five central banks. The test processed approximately $1 million (about 800,000 Swiss francs) in real transactions, covering six currencies: the US dollar, euro, pound sterling, Japanese yen, Swiss franc, and South Korean won. The test utilized tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits, settling funds on a shared ledger with an average settlement time of about 80 seconds. Unlike traditional cross-border payments that require intermediation by multiple correspondent banks, the platform achieved shared single ownership records and supports synchronized settlement of bilateral foreign exchange, effectively reducing principal risk. The BIS stated that the platform can operate in parallel with existing payment systems, rather than replacing them.

European Central Bank Launches Digital Euro Pilot, 36 Institutions Including Deutsche Bank and Revolut Selected
the European Central Bank (ECB) has selected 36 banks and payment companies to participate in the digital euro pilot project, preparing for the potential issuance of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) possibly in 2029. Selected institutions include Deutsche Bank, Revolut, Adyen, SumUp, UniCredit, and Worldline. The list was selected from 50 applicant institutions.The digital euro pilot program is scheduled to launch in the second half of next year, lasting for 12 months. It will test the Beta version of the digital euro across various payment scenarios, including: online person-to-person transfers, offline payments, in-store payments, and e-commerce payments. The pilot scope will cover the ECB and the central banks of 19 eurozone countries. ECB employees and staff from national central banks will participate as users, while some restaurants, cafes, and online merchants will support digital euro payments.Although the digital euro currently lacks legal tender status, its design will closely align with the relevant legislative framework being developed by the European Union. The ECB stated that the final decision on whether to issue a digital euro will await the passage of relevant regulations and a decision by the ECB's Governing Council.One of the key reasons for the ECB's push for a digital euro is concern that the development of private dollar-pegged stablecoins could impact Europe's monetary sovereignty. In recent years, dollar-backed stablecoins like Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC have grown rapidly in global payment volumes, drawing the attention of European regulators to financial autonomy.However, the CBDC project still faces privacy controversies. Some privacy advocacy groups worry that a central bank digital currency could lead to transaction tracking or even pose a risk of restricted account access. In contrast, the United States has recently passed laws restricting the Federal Reserve System from issuing a digital dollar before the end of 2030.Currently, Europe's digital euro project is entering its practical testing phase, while EU legislative bodies are advancing the relevant legal framework. If the regulatory process proceeds smoothly, the digital euro could potentially be officially launched as early as 2029. (CoinDesk)
