On January 17, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the Ukrainian delegation had arrived in the United States that day and was expected to receive its first briefing on the talks that evening Kyiv time. Zelenskyy said the main task of the Ukrainian delegations trip was to provide the US with comprehensive and accurate information about the current situation. Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine has never been, and will never be, an obstacle to peace, and that progress in the current diplomatic process depends on the positions of the partners.On January 17th, it was reported that on January 13th, according to Xian University of Electronic Science and Technology, Academician Hao Yues team at the university broke through a 20-year bottleneck in semiconductor materials technology, achieving a leap forward in chip heat dissipation efficiency and overall performance, providing a replicable Chinese paradigm for solving various high-quality integration problems of semiconductor materials. The relevant findings were recently published in the top international journals *Nature Communications* and *Science Advances*. Zhang Jincheng, Vice President and Professor of Xian University of Electronic Science and Technology, stated, "Inability to dissipate heat can lead to decreased chip performance or even device burnout." The team innovatively injected high-energy ions into the crystal of third-generation semiconductor chips, making the surface of the crystal nucleation layer smooth. This breakthrough reduced the semiconductor thermal resistance to one-third of its original value, solving the heat dissipation problem faced by third-generation and future semiconductor chips. Simultaneously, this breakthrough significantly improved the performance of semiconductor devices.According to Syrian security sources and Turkish defense sources, US-led coalition warplanes flew over northern Syria, where clashes were taking place between Syrian government forces and Kurdish militants.Musk: The Colossus 2 supercomputer is now operational. It is the worlds first gigawatt-level training cluster and will be upgraded to 1.5 gigawatts in April.The Syrian army says it has seized two oil fields from Kurdish factions in northern Syria.

In the early European session, the Gold price (XAU / USD) is exhibiting erratic movements near $1,994.00. The precious metal is in a state of indecision as investors await the release of preliminary S&P PMI data for the United States on Friday.

 

After violent swings influenced by the Federal Reserve's (Fed) Beige Book, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing signs of volatility contraction below 102.00. The declining trend of advances to consumer and business loans by U.S. commercial banks has intensified concerns of a recession in the U.S. economy, despite the fact that economic activity in 12 Fed districts remained virtually unchanged. To prevent a decline in asset quality, banks have tightened credit disbursement requirements.

 

In the meantime, S&P futures have recorded sizeable losses during the Asian session, as investors are wary of firms' comments regarding revenue guidance. The market anticipates that constrained credit conditions will impact the working capital management of cash-reliant companies, thereby affecting their output.

 

The market expects preliminary US S&P PMI data to reveal a Manufacturing PMI reading of 49.0, a decrease from the previous reading of 49.9. The Services PMI is anticipated to decrease to 51.5 from 52.6 previously reported.
