Koletsky stated that nearly 100 million cubic meters of gas arrived at the LNG receiving terminal in Poland at the end of January and has been injected into the Ukrainian gas transmission system.

The next shipment of US LNG has been contracted and is scheduled for delivery between February and March.February 4th - The pound rose to its strongest level in five months against the euro ahead of the Bank of Englands interest rate decision on Thursday. The market widely expects the Bank of England to keep interest rates unchanged. Lee Hardman of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group stated in a report that recent data showing a strengthening UK economy has prompted market participants to postpone their expectations for the next rate cut. "In the absence of immediate triggers for further rate cuts, the Bank of England is likely to remain cautious about further rate cuts at the beginning of this year."On February 4th, Innovent Biologics announced that in 2025, the company achieved total product revenue of approximately RMB 11.9 billion, maintaining a strong growth momentum of approximately 45% year-on-year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company achieved total product revenue of approximately RMB 3.3 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of over 60%.February 4th - Holger Schmieding of Berenberg Bank stated in a report that the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise key interest rates starting in mid-2027, with economic growth this year expected to be slightly above the long-term trend of 1.2%. Following projected growth of 1.3% this year, Eurozone economic growth is expected to accelerate to a cyclical peak of 1.5% in 2027, primarily driven by the gradual effects of German fiscal stimulus measures. This will boost German business and consumer confidence and, to a lesser extent, benefit some of its neighboring countries. Against this backdrop, the ECB could raise key interest rates to a neutral level of approximately 3% by early 2028, allowing economic growth to fall back to near its trend rate in 2028.The US January ADP employment figures will be released as scheduled tonight at 9:15 PM, providing the market with the latest clues about the US job market.

The US Department of Labor, responsible for releasing these data, fully resumed normal operations on February 4th and will reschedule the release times.

Following the conclusion of the US Thanksgiving holiday, there were no crypto-related news headlines to provide guidance. The trading volume remained low, with investors presumably adopting a wait-and-see stance about FTX and more contagion.

 

In recent sessions, investor opinion regarding FTX contagion has improved, preventing a relapse to sub-$16,000. Bets on a Fed turnaround in December have also been beneficial, while regulatory risk will continue to be a drag for cryptocurrencies.

 

This week, it will be necessary to observe the bankruptcy processes of FTX. More assets to make creditors whole would be seen favorably by the market.

 

Currently, there are no US economic indicators that can influence the NASDAQ Composite Index, leaving it to Fed gossip. Today, FOMC member Williams will talk. Support for a 50-basis point rate hike would give support for the NASDAQ and BTC.

 

However, the NASDAQ mini opened the week in the red (-83 points), as concerns over a new wave of COVID-19 cases in China weighed on investor sentiment.
