Internationally, the USDAs January supply and demand report at the beginning of the week showed a decrease in global production, an increase in demand, and a decline in ending stocks, indicating an overall bullish adjustment. This, coupled with a weaker dollar and rising grain prices, drove cotton prices higher. However, on Thursday, the US Department of Labor released initial jobless claims data lower than market expectations, increasing the probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates, leading to a decline in the crude oil market and dragging down cotton prices. In terms of price performance, the ICE cotton futures averaged 64.83 cents/lb, up 0.14 cents/lb from the previous week; in the spot market, the Cotlook A index averaged 74.87 cents/lb, up 0.26 cents/lb from the previous week. 2. Domestically, at the macro level, the central bank signaled further interest rate and reserve requirement ratio cuts, and the State Council emphasized promoting consumption, briefly boosting market sentiment. At the industry level, the speculation surrounding a reduction in Xinjiangs cotton planting area in the new year has gradually been digested. Textile companies have some restocking needs before the Spring Festival, and the weakening orders for fabric mills are showing a tendency to spread to textile companies, thus weakening support for cotton prices. The weekly average price of the China Cotton Price Index (CC Index 3128B) was 15,903 yuan/ton, up 96 yuan/ton from the previous week; the price difference between the weekly average price of Cotlook A (converted to RMB with a 1% tariff) and the weekly average price of the China Cotton Price Index widened significantly by 52 yuan/ton compared to the previous week.January 19th - CIMC Enrics subsidiary, CIMC Saint-Gobain, recently successfully delivered the first batch of four high-standard, customized cryogenic storage tanks for a landmark semiconductor manufacturing project in Europe.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU / USD will continue to fluctuate above $1,900 despite a decline in US Inflation

Gold price (XAU / USD) is not in danger despite U.S. inflation figures meeting expectations. Since Monday, the precious metal has been fluctuating continuously between $1,895 and $1,913. The release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) failed to produce a significant reaction in the Gold price; however, the upside bias appears to be solidified as wagers on lesser rate increases from the Federal Reserve (Fed) have increased.

 

The US Dollar Index (DXY) is protecting the critical support at 103.50, but it appears vulnerable to further losses as investors' risk appetite has dramatically increased. As market participants purchased S&P500 futures in response to higher odds of a smaller rate hike from Fed chair Jerome Powell, a likely recession in the US economy was postponed, signaling an uptick in optimism.

 

Contrary to the risk-on sentiment, demand for US Treasury bonds remained weak, causing 10-year US Treasury yields to rise above 3.68 percent.

 

The headline As anticipated, the US CPI increased by 0.4% on a monthly basis, and the annual figure decreased from 6.4% to 6.0%. In addition, the core CPI, which excludes crude and food prices, decreased to 5.5% from 5.6% previously. The Fed appears to be pleased with the persistence of a declining trend in US inflation.

 

In the future, investors will closely monitor the US Retail Sales (Feb) data. Monthly Retail Sales data is anticipated to decline by 0.3% compared to the previous release of a 3.0% increase. This indicates that the consumer spending rebound is over and the Fed is on course to achieve its inflation target of 2%.
