China State Agency publishes blockchain roadmap

China State Agency publishes blockchain roadmap

The Central Cyber ​​Security Bureau and the Information Committee of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China (MIIT) have identified four key application areas for blockchain acceptance.

 

MIIT's five-item agenda for accepting the blockchain is part of a document presented Monday that details the guidance comments released to accelerate the development of emerging technology for industrial development.

 

As previously reported by the Cointelegraph, Chinese President Xi Jinping had previously called for the speedy adoption and approval of the blockchain in October 2019. This MIIT document describes this new technology as "an important part of the new generation of information technology" by presenting its argument for accepting blockchain.

 

According to the Ministry of Information Technology (IT), blockchain is among a host of new innovations such as big data and artificial intelligence that are vital to China's continued progress.

In this MIIT document, options such as economy, finance, industrialization and public services are mentioned as the main focus of blockchain development in the country.

 

According to MIIT, tracking, data sharing, and supply chain management are some of the uses for blockchain that can have a significant positive impact on the real economy. In the area of ​​finance, MIIT is calling for more interaction between blockchain and other emerging technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence and the Internet.

 

MIIT proposes to accept blockchain for public use, which includes concepts such as smart cities and the use of new technologies in government services. The document relies heavily on the immutability of blockchain-based offices in improving evidence-gathering mechanisms in areas such as judicial deposit, civil registration, and administrative law enforcement activities.

As part of its development goals, MIIT called for the establishment of at least three firms and blockchain industries in China. The document also mentions international cooperation, especially under the auspices of Belt and Road.

 

Although the MIIT document emphasizes the acceptance of blockchain, there is no general reference to cryptocurrencies or tokens. Beijing continues to crack down on cryptocurrencies, and Weibo has reportedly banned the accounts of some "virtual currency influencers."

Kitco site weekly evaluation of the gold market Monday, May 10

Kitco site weekly evaluation of the gold market Monday, May 10

According to Kitco News's weekly assessment, optimism about the future of the global ounce price has strengthened. Professionals and small market investors expect prices to rise further.
Last Thursday, the price of an ounce of global gold jumped sharply. For the first time since February, the world ounce price of gold has exceeded $ 1,800. Many analysts believe that the failure of this resistance is a good sign of reviving the uptrend of the market and moving to $ 1850. On Friday, the price of an ounce of global gold continued to rise. The April US Employment Data Index (NFP) was disappointing. In April, NFP growth was only 266,000 units, while the market expected growth of one million units. Some analysts believe the market may be struggling to break the $ 1830 and $ 1850 resistance levels.

This week, 16 Wall Street activists took part in the weekly evaluation of the Kitco site. 88% predict that this week's trend is an upward ounce of global gold. Another 12 percent expect a downward correction in the market. According to this week's assessment, no one expects a neutral or trend-free market. Meanwhile, 1,485 Main Street investors took part in the online survey. 76% were in favor of an uptrend, 14% were in favor of a downtrend and 11% were in favor of a trend-free or neutral market.

Opinions of market professionals

Bill Baruch, President of Blue Line Futures

The professional activist believes that although the ounce trend of global gold is bullish, in order for the strength of the bullish trend to strengthen and new buyers to enter the market, XAUUSD must cross the resistance of $ 1850.

Ole Hansen leads Saxo Bank strategy team

Hansen said that due to weak economic data on US employment, the possibility of the Federal Reserve gradually withdrawing from expansionary monetary policy by the end of 2021 is ruled out. According to this professional activist, the price of gold can rise further at the same time as the yield on bonds falls and drive gold sellers out of the market. According to Hansen, significant market growth cannot be expected until the $ 1850 resistance is broken. The $ 1,850 resistance is a good match for the 200-day moving average. "Despite the strong rise in the price of an ounce of global gold, the market is still declining. "However, the failure of the key resistance can reverse the trend."

Adrian Day, President of Adrian Day Investment Company

According to this professional activist, the market will not climb in a straight line. The gold market is backed by the US government's monetary and expansion support programs.

Darin Newsom Independent Market Analyst

According to Newsom, if the global ounce price rises above $ 1842.90, the next target of the resistance market will be $ 1894.

Mark Chandler is the CEO of Bannockburn Global Forex

Chandler is the only one expecting the market to return below the $ 1,850 resistance level. According to this professional activist, due to the rapid economic growth of the United States, the bullish gold rally will stop near $ 1855-1850.
