On September 17th, sources familiar with the matter revealed that JERA, Japans largest power producer, is in advanced negotiations with interested parties to acquire natural gas production assets in the United States for approximately $1.7 billion. This marks the latest example of Japanese investment in the U.S. energy sector. Sources said JERA emerged as the top bidder for GEP Haynesville II assets after banks solicited bids in recent weeks. The company is a joint venture between Blackstone Group-backed GeoSouthern Energy and pipeline operator Williams Companies. The deal would mark JERAs first foray into shale gas production and, as one of the worlds largest buyers of liquefied natural gas (LNG), would allow it to better control the supply chain as the boom in artificial intelligence drives surging power demand from data centers.The yield on the 20-year U.S. Treasury bond fell 0.8 basis points to 4.609% after the auction.The winning rate of the U.S. 20-year Treasury bond auction on September 16 was 4.613%, compared with the previous value of 4.88%.The bid-to-cover ratio for the U.S. 20-year Treasury bond auction on September 16 was 2.74, compared with the previous value of 2.54.On September 17, Indias Ministry of Commerce and Industry said after another round of bilateral talks in Delhi on Tuesday that India and the United States have decided to intensify efforts to reach a trade agreement as soon as possible.

Gold price (XAU/USD) volatility is decreasing ahead of U.S. inflation data that could provide fresh momentum. The price of the precious metal is fluctuating above $1,860.00. Nonetheless, the downside appears to be preferred as market players' risk appetite plummets.

 

During the Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is battling to break above the crucial resistance level of 103.35. S&P500 futures have suffered more losses as quarterly earnings have dampened expectations for risk-perceived assets. In addition, the repeated destruction of unexplained flying objects by the Pentagon's radar has impacted market sentiment. The alpha generated by 10-year US government bonds has fallen below 3.74 percent.

 

The Federal Reserve (Fed) has reignited concerns about future interest rate hikes, which has frightened market sentiment. Patrick Harker, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, anticipates that interest rates will exceed 5% this year, as inflation remains elevated. He believes that higher interest rates should be maintained for a longer period of time to attain price stability.

 

The announcement of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) will provide reassuring information for interest rates. According to a Reuters survey, both the headline and core CPI are anticipated to increase by 0.4% on a monthly basis.
