01Iran's uranium inventory is close to nuclear bomb levels

Reuters reported that on May 27th, two confidential reports released by the United Nations nuclear watchdog showed that Iran's uranium enrichment stockpile is steadily approaching the level required to manufacture a nuclear bomb. Iran's enriched uranium purity has reached 60%, close to about 90% of the required level for weapons. As of May 11th, Iran's uranium inventory for the quarter increased by 20.6 kilograms, bringing the total inventory to 142.1 kilograms. Iran later diluted 5.9 kilograms of enriched uranium into lower grade nuclear material. This means that according to the standards of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran now roughly has enriched uranium with enough purity to reach 60%. If further refined, theoretically Iran can manufacture three nuclear bombs, which is enough to manufacture more lower level nuclear weapons.

It is understood that the 35 members of the International Atomic Energy Agency last passed a resolution targeting Iran, ordering Iran to urgently cooperate with the International Atomic Energy's multi-year investigation into the discovery of uranium particles at three undeclared facilities. It has been 18 months since then.Iranian President Lehi died in a helicopter crash last weekAfterwards, the follow-up negotiations between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran came to a standstill.

02The escalation of war in the state of Myriad Rakhine has affected the Rohingya people

Dhaka Comprehensive News: Recently, the United Nations and international aid agencies have reported that the government forces in Rakhine State, Myanmar are escalating their fighting with the Rakhine army, and the Rohingya people in Rakhine State will once again face the threat of war and displacement. It is estimated that,Since mid May, tens of thousands of Rohingya people have fled to neighboring Bangladesh for refuge. However, Bangladesh is no longer willing to accept refugees and has closed border crossings. Many Rohingya people who remain in Rakhine urgently need humanitarian assistance.

In early May, Wakai Jun claimed control of the border town of Budi Dang in Rakhine State. Wakai Jun was accused of targeting the Rohingya people in the war, but he denied the accusations. According to a report by CNN, if the army controls Budi, they will set fire to the houses of the Rohingya people and plunder them extensively. If the military also confiscates their phones and threatens that anyone who dares to contact their foreign relatives will be killed. If the army is now launching an attack on another border town, Mengdu, where the Rohingya people are concentrated, the government forces with outposts there are expected to defend themselves tightly, triggering more serious violent conflicts. A recent report released by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs pointed out that civilians in Rohingya are increasingly involved in the conflict, and it is estimated that over 350000 civilians in Rakhine State have been displaced in the past few years, with many unable to access basic public services.

01The National Bank of Vietnam will cease gold auctions

According to Yuetong News Agency, recently,In order to continue to effectively implement the guidance of the government and the Prime Minister on dealing with the significant differences in gold prices both domestically and internationally, the National Bank of Vietnam has stated that it will adjust its plan to stabilize the gold market price,Stop the gold bar auction and remove it from theStarting from June 3rd, an alternative stabilization plan will be adopted. Previously,byImplementing the guidance of the Prime Minister of the government, conducting gold auctions to increase market supply, the National Bank of China has held 9 SJC gold bar auctions since April 19th this year, of which 6 have been successful, with a winning bid of 48500 taels of gold bars. However, 3 have not been successfully held due to insufficient number of participating companies in the auctions.

RegardingExperts believe that the goal of the National Bank's gold auction is to increase supply, offset market demand, and cool gold prices, but it has not been completed. The reason is that if you want the price of gold to decrease, the reference price for each auction needs to be close to the international gold price. But in theIn the 9 gold bar auctions, the reference price proposed by the National Bank was equivalent to the closing price of gold the day before yesterday, far higher than the international gold price, making it difficult to stabilize the gold market.Currently, VietnamThe National Bank has guided all provincial and municipal branches to closely monitor the gold market prices at local and gold buying and selling points. If there is any queuing to purchase gold, it should be reported immediately.
