Hang Seng Index futures closed down 0.85% at 26,590 points in overnight trading, a discount of 245 points.On February 4th, Intel (INTC.O) CEO Chen Liwu stated that the memory chip shortage in the computer industry is likely to persist for at least two years. He said on Tuesday, "To my knowledge, there are currently no mitigation measures." Chen Liwu said he spoke with two key figures in the memory industry who told him, "There wont be any relief until 2028." The massive construction of artificial intelligence infrastructure has significantly increased the demand for memory chips, leading to a reduction in the supply of chips available for traditional computers and smartphones. This has resulted in chip shortages and price increases—which could dampen consumer willingness to purchase these products. Chen Liwu also pointed out that Nvidia, as a leading supplier of AI processors, will further drive up memory demand with its latest Rubin platform and next-generation products, as artificial intelligence will "consume a lot of memory."Ukrainian President Zelensky: If the United States and Europe cannot stop Russias attacks, who will believe that there is any power to guarantee that no new war will break out?The U.S. Secretary of State and Secretary of Agriculture stated that, under the new water agreement, Mexico has committed to supplying the United States with at least 350,000 acre-feet of water annually.February 4th - On February 3rd local time, US President Trump and Colombian President Petro held talks at the White House.

Forecast for Gold Price: XAU/USD pares daily loss over 200-HMA as risk aversion subsides

Gold price (XAU/USD) recovers to $1,785 during the first hour of Thursday's Asian session as market participants lick their wounds following a poor opening.

 

The most recent relaxation of the risk-averse sentiment, which originally helped the US Dollar prepare for weekly gains, may be related to news from China. Recently, Shanghai City Authorities announced that as of this Friday, they will no longer require Covid test checks at restaurants and entertainment venues. On the same line, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reports that Hong Kong will "relax isolation regulations" for infected tourists on the fifth day after their release.

 

Even still, economic slowdown fears and Russia's use of nuclear weapons in its confrontation with Ukraine appeared to weigh on the XAU/USD exchange rate. In addition, Bloomberg released information indicating increased friction between the United States and China as a result of the current measures the United States Congress is attempting to adopt, which in turn threatens the Gold purchasers. Bloomberg reports that the United States is preparing to enact legislation that will change its policy toward Taiwan and restrict the government's use of Chinese semiconductors, steps that are guaranteed to anger Beijing despite President Joe Biden's efforts to reduce tensions.

 

As a result of these moves, the S&P 500 Futures have recovered from the three-week low to approximately 3,935 as of press time. In addition, 10-year US Treasury rates remain passive near 3.45% while trimming yesterday's losses to levels not seen since early September.

 

Ahead of next week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the Gold price may experience a period of sluggish performance. Traders may be interested in today's weekly US Initial Jobless Claims as well as Friday's first prints of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index and 5-year Consumer Inflation Expectations.
