ECB Governing Council member Kazak: Interest rates are at an appropriate level, and there is good news on the inflation front.ECB Governing Council member Kazak: The risks to inflation and economic growth are two-way, and we have no room for complacency.Saudi government data shows that the CPI rose 2.1% year-on-year and 0.1% month-on-month in December 2025.On January 15th, futures market news reported that PTA prices have been relatively stable recently, fluctuating within a range of less than 100 yuan/ton, reflecting a tug-of-war between cost support and declining demand. Escalating tensions in a Middle Eastern country and the possibility of US action have kept risk premiums high, leading to increases in European and American crude oil futures. Additionally, Zhejiang Petrochemicals PX plant will reduce its operating rate, providing cost support for PTA. However, downstream polyester plants announced more maintenance plans this week, releasing the impact of the off-season demand, which is bearish for PTA prices and the basis. In the short term, attention should be paid to the impact of Middle Eastern geopolitical issues on crude oil and whether polyester plants will conduct maintenance ahead of schedule. PTA prices are expected to remain stable in the short term.TSMC announced its fourth-quarter results on Thursday, reporting a record 35% year-on-year increase in net profit, exceeding market expectations. This was primarily driven by surging demand for semiconductors related to artificial intelligence applications. TSMCs customers include companies such as Nvidia and Apple. Its net profit for the October-December period rose to NT$505.7 billion (approximately US$16.01 billion). This easily surpassed LSEGs forecast of NT$478.4 billion. Furthermore, the companys full-year revenue reached NT$3.809 trillion, with a net profit of NT$1.719 trillion.

Following a huge upward rise from 0.8360 on Thursday, the EUR/GBP pair has subsequently turned sideways around 0.8430 in the Tokyo session. After the Bank of England (BOE) hiked interest rates by 50 basis points, the cross displayed a significant upward rise (bps) (bps). The BOE lifted interest rates by 50 basis points in succession, bringing them to 1.75 percent.

 

The investing community is aware that UK household earnings have been unsteady during the preceding few months. In addition, the economy's inflation rate is fast expanding. The inflation rate was 9.4 percent prior. The recent statement by BOE Governor Andrew Bailey that price increases might exceed 13 percent has sent shockwaves across the market.

 

The runaway inflation is now escalating, leaving the BOE with very little flexibility to tighten its monetary policy. The BOE is in poor shape as a result of the dismal economic data and the continuing political upheaval following the departure of UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. A recession in the UK economy is extremely probable in the case that the inflation rate is close to 13 percent.

 

German manufacturing order numbers for the Eurozone have decreased by 0.4 percent against an anticipated 0.8 percent decline and a prior monthly contraction of 0.2 percent. Falling orders from factories indicate sluggish demand in Germany as a whole. It is vital to remember that Germany is a key element of the European Union (EU), and that economic data from Germany has a huge effect on people who favor the common currency.
