Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Sergei Syrsky: The US peace plan has not restricted Ukraines mobilization.On December 30th, according to Russias TASS news agency, Russian presidential aide Ushakov stated on the 29th that US President Trump spoke with Russian President Putin that day, briefing him on his meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago the previous day. Trump said that during the meeting, he advised Ukraine not to try to buy respite for frontline troops, but to focus on reaching a comprehensive agreement to effectively end the conflict. Putin stated in the call that actions such as the Ukrainian drone attack on the Russian presidential residence would receive the "strongest response."On December 30th, amid a general sell-off in precious metals, the worlds largest silver ETF, iShares Silver Trust (SLV), fell nearly 9% intraday, heading towards its biggest single-day drop since 2020. Todays decline has pulled prices back to near pre-Christmas holiday levels. Despite todays sharp drop, SLV is still up over 140% year-to-date. According to fund documents, to meet the surge in demand this year, SLV had added nearly 67 million ounces of silver as of last Friday. However, analysts point out that while this figure seems large, it represents only a small fraction of total global silver demand this year. They emphasize that strong demand from solar panel manufacturers and increased imports from India (where precious metals are far more popular among savers than in the US) are the main drivers of overall demand growth.EIA Natural Gas Report: For the week ending December 19, total U.S. natural gas inventories were 3.413 trillion cubic feet, down 166 billion cubic feet from the previous week and down 129 billion cubic feet from the same period last year, a year-on-year decrease of 3.6%, while also 24 billion cubic feet below the 5-year average, a decrease of 0.7%.U.S. natural gas futures maintained their upward trend, currently up 5.2%; the EIA report showed that the inventory decline was in line with expectations.

After falling to roughly 7.3300 during the Tokyo trading session, the USD/CNH pair demonstrated a V-shaped recovery. Despite the release of positive Caixin Manufacturing PMI data, the asset has made a recovery. The economic data came in at 49.2 against predictions of 49.0 and the prior value of 48.1.

 

China's official Manufacturing PMI dropped to 49.2 from 50.0 and 50.1, as anticipated, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). In addition, the Non-Manufacturing PMI was significantly lower at 48.7, compared to predictions of 51.9 and the last release of 50.6.

 

In the meanwhile, the US dollar index (DXY) in Tokyo has declined significantly as the risk-on sentiment has grown. The DXY has significantly declined to roughly 111.36. S&P500 futures have rallied strongly since Monday's decline due to confidence surrounding the quarterly results season.

 

Despite an increase in hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) wagers, US government bond returns have dropped. At the time of writing, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury has declined to 4.04%, a decrease of 0.90% from its prior level.

 

This week's major catalyst will be the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates. As inflationary pressures show no signs of abating, it is anticipated that the US Federal Reserve will hike interest rates by 75 basis points for the fourth time this year (bps). However, consumer spending declined to 1.4% in the third quarter from 2.0% in the previous quarter, which could weigh on the inflation rate.
