Oracle (ORCL.N): It is expected to raise a total of $45 billion to $50 billion in cash by 2026.Spot gold and silver rebounded quickly, currently trading at $4,864/oz and $83.40/oz respectively.10-year US Treasury futures fell 1 point, and 30-year futures fell 7 points.February 2nd - With Kevin Warshs nomination as Federal Reserve Chairman, market focus has abruptly shifted from short-term interest rates to the Feds $6.6 trillion balance sheet and its fundamental role in the market. Zach Griffiths, Head of Investment Grade Bonds and Macro Strategy at CreditSights, noted, "He has consistently been a vocal critic of the Feds balance sheet expansion." Warsh hopes to fundamentally reverse the trend of asset expansion and push for other reforms. However, this move will face complex challenges, directly impacting not only long-term interest rates but also the core markets upon which large global financial institutions rely for daily interbank lending. If policymakers agree to shrink the balance sheet, the transmission effect in the market could lead to a conflict between the Feds and the governments goals of reducing long-term borrowing costs. This could force the Treasury or other US agencies to become more deeply involved in market management, which will face even greater challenges given the continued rise in total borrowing demand and the already over $30 trillion national debt. PGIM points out that if Warshs predictions are true, then the pressure to regulate will shift to the Treasury.February 2nd - On February 1st local time, Mexican President Sinbaum announced plans to send humanitarian aid to Cuba, including food and other basic necessities, while simultaneously seeking to resume oil shipments to Cuba "through all diplomatic channels" despite US restrictions.

Gold price (XAU/USD) has slid to about $1,837.90 after giving a negative break of the consolidation created in a limited range of around $1,844.00 in the Asian session. The precious metal has been given amid growing geopolitical tensions between the United States and China and the launch of rockets from North Korea near Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

 

Investors should brace for wild volatility as the equity markets in the United States will stay closed on Monday owing to Presidents’ Day. Nevertheless, S&P500 futures have slid further amid increased forecasts of the continuation of the restrictive policy stance by the Federal Reserve (Fed), presenting a decline in the risk-aversion theme.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) has risen over 103.70 as investors are increasingly anxious that the higher-than-anticipated US Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producers Price Index (PPI), and monthly Retail Sales data have prompted the possibility of a comeback in the inflationary pressures.

 

Fed Governor Michelle Bowman stated on Friday that they are seeing a lot of conflicting data in economic conditions. He further noted, the Fed has “A long way to go to get inflation back down to our goal."
