Hong Kong Gold Central Clearing and Settlement System began trial operations today. Under a January cooperation agreement, the Hong Kong Treasury Bureau and the Shanghai Gold Exchange launched the first phase of “physical connectivity.” The Hong Kong gold settlement company has applied to become an international member of the Shanghai Gold Exchange and opened a physical-gold account; participants can deposit held physical gold into the Shanghai exchange international board’s Hong Kong-designated vault. Bi-directional transfers will allow firms to access the Shanghai on-exchange market and Hong Kong OTC market, enabling physical gold flows between the two systems.

据CNN，消息人士透露，美国总统特朗普曾考虑将驻欧美军削减三分之一，以此向北约传递某种信号。今年春季，在白宫举行的一次会议上，当得知北约盟友拒绝参与他对伊朗发动的战争时，特朗普勃然大怒，并萌生了一个想法。他当时问道：如果将驻欧美军削减三分之一会怎样？这是否能向那些所谓的盟友传递出恰当的信号？就在特朗普提出这一想法前后，五角大楼突然取消了两次美军向欧洲的部署行动，并下令从欧洲撤回其他人员。据两名消息人士称，美防长赫格塞思原计划在6月的北约会议上宣布更大幅度的削减措施，其规模可能达到特朗普所提议的三分之一。但在与其他政府高层官员磋商后，计划发生了改变；赫格塞思转而宣布将对驻欧美军进行为期六个月的评估。
