On August 24th, Goldman Sachs reiterated that if Persian Gulf liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports fail to increase further, maintaining European TTF gas prices at €65 per megawatt-hour will not be sufficient for Europe to effectively manage its inventory during the winter. If LNG exports via the Strait of Hormuz do not improve, European gas prices (TTF) will need to rise further to curb Asian LNG demand, thereby releasing more cargoes to Europe and helping to maintain its gas inventory levels. Goldman Sachs estimates that in a scenario where Middle Eastern energy exports do not gradually return to normal until 2027, TTF gas prices for December 2026 delivery may need to rise to over €100 per megawatt-hour (assuming normal average winter temperatures), 110% higher than the banks baseline scenario of €50 per megawatt-hour, to more significantly curb Asian LNG demand.

On August 24th, Futures News reported that Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hattato stated that the government will not impose export taxes or windfall profits taxes on key commodities such as coal and nickel this year. Airlangga made these remarks in an interview at his office on Friday (August 21, 2026), stating, "The windfall profits tax has not been implemented this year." When asked if it would be implemented next year, he responded that the relevant policy had not yet been discussed in detail. Previously, driven by rising coal prices due to escalating conflicts in the Middle East, the government had actively promoted the imposition of export taxes on these commodities. Finance Minister Purbaya Yudi Sadeva previously stated that the implementation plan for a coal export tax was still under discussion, but also pointed out that the government expected to obtain additional revenue through revisions to the RKAB in 2026. Purbaya stated that President Prabowo had instructed Energy and Minerals Minister Bahriel to revise the 2026 coal production quotas. He added that increased production due to rising coal prices would bring additional revenue to the country, but did not disclose the specific amount. Export taxes are an international trade tax tool levied by Indonesia on specific exported goods, and the revenue has fluctuated in recent years with changes in global commodity prices and export policies.
Gold prices rose to their highest level in over three months on Monday, supported by a weaker dollar, as market focus shifted to key US inflation data and Federal Reserve Chairman Warshs speech later this week. Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade, said gold started the week strongly, regaining buying support, primarily driven by a weaker dollar. The market is also paying closer attention to signals that rising yields may signal underlying economic pressures and policy uncertainty. The market will be watching the July PCE price index and Warshs speech at the Jackson Hole symposium this week for new clues about the interest rate outlook. "Traders will be closely watching for any changes in his tone regarding the policy path and how that rhetoric resonates with recent bond market movements. A balanced or cautious tone, leaving room for policy flexibility, could open the door for further gains in gold prices."
