February 21 (Xinhua) -- A forest fire broke out in Seosan City, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea, on February 21, according to a report from the South Chungcheong Provincial Fire Department. Firefighters and other departments immediately rushed to the scene to extinguish the blaze. Because the fire originated near the Daeju Resource Reserve Industrial Complex, South Koreas largest national oil reserve facility, strong winds posed a risk of the fire spreading to critical infrastructure, causing high alert among relevant departments. At approximately 4:10 PM local time, the Seosan Fire Station raised its response level to Level 2, mobilizing all available equipment from its jurisdiction and neighboring fire stations to focus on preventing the fire from spreading towards the industrial complex.February 21 – European Central Bank Governing Council member and Bank of Italy Governor Leon Panetta stated that the US economy has borne the brunt of President Trumps tariffs. Speaking in Venice on Saturday, he said, "Foreign exporters appear to have absorbed a portion of the losses, estimated at around 10%. Initially, this loss was absorbed by the profits of US companies, then partially passed on to consumers, who now bear about half of the losses. Overall, the tariffs are estimated to have contributed slightly more than 0.5 percentage points to US inflation."ECB Governing Council member Panetta: Inflation risks may exist in both directions.ECB Governing Council member Panetta: Italys economy grew by 0.7% in 2025.ECB Governing Council member Panetta: Monetary policy must remain flexible.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD will continue to fluctuate above $1,900 despite a decline in US Inflation

Gold price (XAU / USD) is not in danger despite U.S. inflation figures meeting expectations. Since Monday, the precious metal has been fluctuating continuously between $1,895 and $1,913. The release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) failed to produce a significant reaction in the Gold price; however, the upside bias appears to be solidified as wagers on lesser rate increases from the Federal Reserve (Fed) have increased.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the critical support at 103.50, but it appears vulnerable to further losses as investors' risk appetite has dramatically increased. As market participants purchased S&P500 futures in response to higher odds of a smaller rate hike from Fed chair Jerome Powell, a likely recession in the US economy was postponed, signaling an uptick in optimism.

 

Contrary to the risk-on sentiment, demand for US Treasury bonds remained weak, causing 10-year US Treasury yields to rise above 3.68 percent.

 

The headline As anticipated, the US CPI increased by 0.4% on a monthly basis, and the annual figure decreased from 6.4% to 6.0%. In addition, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, decreased to 5.5% from 5.6% previously. The Fed appears to be pleased with the persistence of a declining trend in US inflation.

 

In the future, investors will closely monitor the US Retail Sales (Feb) data. Monthly Retail Sales data is anticipated to decline by 0.3% compared to the previous release of a 3.0% increase. This indicates that the consumer spending rebound is over and the Fed is on course to achieve its inflation target of 2%.
