January 27th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: Spot gold prices have risen in recent intraday trading, having successfully corrected significant overbought pressure indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The indicator is currently in deeply oversold territory relative to price action, providing new upward momentum and pushing prices further towards new historical resistance levels. This strong performance is attributed to the continued action of dynamic support, with gold prices currently trading above the 50-period exponential moving average (EMA50). With the short-term bullish trend dominating, gold prices are moving along the support trendline of this trend, further increasing the likelihood of continued gains in subsequent trading sessions.On January 27th, Amundi, Europes largest asset manager, stated that the deepening international isolation of the United States is prompting many investors to reduce their holdings of dollar assets and shift towards gold. Vincent Motiejunas, Chief Investment Officer of Amundi, said that the weakening of the dollars status also stems from the massive US fiscal deficit and the uncertainty surrounding future Federal Reserve policies. He stated, "We have consistently allocated to gold for the past two and a half years and believe this trend will continue because, in the long term, gold effectively hedges against currency devaluation risks and is an ideal tool for maintaining purchasing power." Motiejunas pointed out that current gold demand mainly comes from institutional investors such as central banks and sovereign wealth funds. He analyzed that Trumps continued pressure on traditional allies will eventually come at a price. Allies cannot tolerate this bullying forever, and new alliances are forming. Europes shift in stance on the Greenland issue is significant, indicating that pressure may give rise to new forms of resistance. Global funds are forced to seek new wealth reserves. "The key question is, where to go after selling off the dollar?" Motiejunas admitted, "Gold has become a realistic option."January 27th, Futures News: Economies.com analysts latest view: WTI crude oil prices retreated in the recent trading day, attempting to find higher support levels as a technical bottom to help accumulate the upward momentum needed for a price recovery.

In the United States, solar costs increased by more than 8 percent in the second quarter

According to a research published late on Wednesday, solar energy prices in the United States climbed by 8.1% in the second quarter as a result of an investigation by the Commerce Department into tariffs on Southeast Asian products and growing input costs.


According to a quarterly index that analyzes renewable energy transactions and is collected by LevelTen Energy, the increase amounted to a remarkable 29.7 percent increase in the overall price of wind and solar contracts, also known as power purchase agreements (PPAs), compared to the previous year.


Compared to the previous year, the cost of solar PPAs has climbed by 25.7%.


Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, economic, logistical, and labor market problems caused by the coronavirus outbreak have intensified, undoing a decade of renewable energy industry cost reductions.


Wind contract expenditures grew by 2.5% during the quarter and have grown by 33.7% annually. Third-quarter wind energy costs in the Southwest Power Pool (NASDAQ:POOL) jumped by 16 percent due to a lack of transmission capacity. Some of the nation's most windy regions, including parts of Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas, are served by the grid operator.


LevelTen claimed that it was too soon to evaluate whether or not the decision by U.S. President Joe Biden in early June to waive tariffs on solar panels from the four Asian countries included in the probe for two years will alleviate some of the cost pressure.


In a survey of fifty developers conducted by the firm, around one-third responded that they wanted additional assurances that tariffs would not be applied retroactively if the Commerce Department were to implement them after the two-year wait.


LevelTen reports that the rising cost of wind and solar contracts for corporate and utility buyers has mirrored the rising cost of natural gas-related wholesale energy prices.
