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 Prediction: The XAU/USD pair approaches $1,880 following a robust comeback amid weaker US yields

During the Asian session, the gold price (XAU/USD) has renewed its daily high above $1,880.00. As market participants' risk appetite has increased, the gold price has climbed sharply higher after recovering from $1,872.00. The precious metal is anticipated to extend its uptrend over $1,880.00 with confidence, as lower US Treasury yields have mitigated the risk-averse inclination.

 

The yields on 10-year US Treasury bonds have decreased to approximately 3.61 percent. S&P500 futures have rebounded in the Asian session following a decline on Wednesday. The expectation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will not be aggressive in the future in hiking interest rates supports the 500-US stock index.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is battling to maintain above 103.00, despite the fact that the market has begun anticipating a Fed interest rate rise above 5%.

 

Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., advised against prematurely declaring victory against inflation, saying that the Federal Reserve could hike interest rates above 5% if higher prices become "sticky," as reported by Reuters. He stated that Fed Chair Jerome Powell must exceed 5% if inflation does not fall to between 3.5% and 4%.
