On January 17, Kpler data showed that in the first two weeks of 2025, the EUs imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia increased year-on-year. From January 1 to January 15, the 27 EU member states imported about 838,000 tons of liquefied natural gas, compared with about 760,000 tons in the same period last year, indicating that Europe is still dependent on Russian energy. Since breaking through 50 euros per megawatt-hour in early January, European natural gas prices have fallen sharply, but they are still supported by rapid inventory consumption and supply concerns after the expiration of the transportation agreement between Russia and Ukraine. The EUs current natural gas storage level is 63% and continues its sharp decline. Analysts say that in order to achieve this years storage target, Europe will need to further increase imports of liquefied natural gas.1. JD.com (JD.O) rose more than 5% before the market opened.

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.
