HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 February 2025 - Following the exciting match between Tottenham Hotspur ("Spurs") and Manchester United on 17 February, Spurs players signed special jerseys featuring the AIA Foundation logo. These signed jerseys are now available for global auction online until 2 March, with all proceeds going to the AIA Foundation. The funds raised from this charity initiative will support educational and personal development programmes for young people in Hong Kong, helping them live Healthier, Longer, Better Lives.

Over the years, the initiative has supported charities and communities in Mainland China, Thailand, Cambodia and the Philippines. For the 2024/25 season, proceeds will go to the AIA Foundation for the first time.

Gold gains on weaker dollar as US-China talks in focus
Gold prices rose on Monday, supported by a weaker US dollar ahead of U.S.-China trade talks aimed at resolving tensions, while platinum extended gains for a sixth straight session to scale a four-year peak. Spot gold rose 0.3 per cent to $3,318.76 an ounce, as of 1007 GMT, after dropping earlier in the session to $3,293.29, its lowest level since June 2. US gold futures fell 0.2 per cent to $3,339.70. The dollar fell 0.3 per cent against a basket of peers, making bullion cheaper for holders of other currencies. Investors recognise that drivers of gold, including trade and geopolitical tensions, debt concerns and weak economic growth, remain in place and should continue to support the metal in the months ahead, said Giovanni Staunovo, an analyst at UBS. US and Chinese officials will sit down in London on Monday for talks aimed at defusing the trade dispute between the two superpowers. Stronger-than-expected US non-farm payrolls data have led investors to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts this year from two to one in October. Market attention will turn to US CPI data, due on Wednesday, for further clues on the Fed's monetary policy path. Gold, considered a safe-haven asset during political and economic uncertainty, tends to thrive in a low-rate environment. Meanwhile, China's central bank added gold to its reserves in May for the seventh straight month, official data showed. Reuters
