According to sources, the Novatek-led project produced over 27 million cubic meters of gas per day in July and August, nearly double its August 2025 production target. This increased capacity could translate to higher LNG output. Located north of the Arctic Circle, the project is key to Russias plan to triple its LNG production. Western sanctions imposed after Russias full-scale invasion of Ukraine delayed this goal from 2030. Russias response has been to assemble a shadow fleet. According to compiled ship tracking data, the Arctic LNG 2 project currently has at least 20 vessels, most with opaque ownership structures, compared to 11 at the end of December last year. Exports from the project exceeded 500,000 tons in both July and August, setting a new monthly record. According to the converter on Novateks website, this is equivalent to approximately 700 million cubic meters per month.On September 9th, the "Digital Trade Development Trends and Frontiers Forum" was held during the 2026 China International Fair for Trade in Services.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD maintains rises near $1,650 in advance of a crucial Fed decision

Gold pricing is benefiting from the US dollar's continuing weakening, as Treasury yields feel the heat of normal market concern preceding a US Federal Reserve (Fed) event.

 

Asian markets were a mixed bag, as the Chinese tech stocks-led surge sputtered and growth fears reemerged in the wake of the extension of covid lockdowns in numerous cities. In the meantime, benchmark US 10-year interest rates are returning to the 4% critical level, allowing gold prices to remain buoyant.

 

Investors eagerly await any hints of a lesser rate increase in December as all eyes remain on the anticipated 75 bps Fed rate hike decision, with Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference grabbing the spotlight. The US ADP Employment Change data will also be monitored prior to the Fed event, as it may present transitory trade opportunities. Until Friday's release of Nonfarm Payrolls, traders may take signals from ADP jobs while awaiting the Nonfarm Payrolls report.

 

Even though the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below the 50 level, a dovish Fed rate hike might turn the tables on bears, allowing XAU/USD bulls to retake the bearish 21-Daily Moving Average (DMA) around $1,660 with conviction. Gold bulls could stretch their muscles in the direction of the high at the end of October of $1,675 while gaining vigor to target the $1,700 level.

 

On the other hand, a hawkish surprise might cause the gold market to resume its broader downward trend, with initial support likely at the current range lows near $1,680. The $1,620 round number represents the next downside limit, below which the $1,617 October low could be endangered.
