Production expansion and faster growth in new orders are primarily driven by external demand. Semiconductors are supporting the South Korean economy, benefiting from the AI investment boom and demand for data centers. "The upward cycle in the chip industry is unlikely to change direction in the short term." However, he also noted that non-chip sectors remain weak and underperforming, particularly the petrochemical and steel industries, which face intense global competition and oversupply. Lam further mentioned that the weakening won has increased manufacturers import costs, but they are only passing on a portion of these costs to downstream customers.The South African government announced that retail petrol prices will be reduced by 65 cents per liter in February.S&P: Indias general government fiscal deficit is likely to gradually decrease from 7.3% of GDP to 6.6% of GDP by fiscal year 2026.

In the early European session, the Gold price (XAU / USD) is exhibiting erratic movements near $1,994.00. The precious metal is in a state of indecision as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States on Friday.

 

After violent swings influenced by the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of volatility contraction below 102.00. The declining trend of advances to consumer and business loans by U.S. commercial banks has intensified concerns of a recession in the U.S. economy, despite the fact that economic activity in 12 Fed districts remained virtually unchanged. To prevent a decline in asset quality, banks have tightened credit disbursement requirements.

 

In the meantime, S&P futures have recorded sizeable losses during the Asian session, as investors are wary of firms' comments regarding revenue guidance. The market anticipates that constrained credit conditions will impact the working capital management of cash-reliant companies, thereby affecting their output.

 

The market expects preliminary US S&P PMI data to reveal a Manufacturing PMI reading of 49.0, a decrease from the previous reading of 49.9. The Services PMI is anticipated to decrease to 51.5 from 52.6 previously reported.
