Meta touts its so-called "end-to-end" encryption as a core feature of WhatsApp, meaning that only the sender and receiver can read messages, and the company itself cannot access them. The company claims this encryption is enabled by default, and in-app messages show that only people in the current chat can read, listen to, or share messages. The plaintiff group filed the lawsuit on Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in San Francisco, accusing Meta of making false privacy claims. They claim that Meta and WhatsApp store, analyze, and have access to virtually all of WhatsApp users supposedly private communications, and accuse the company and its executives of defrauding billions of WhatsApp users worldwide. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone stated in an email that the lawsuit is baseless and that the company will seek sanctions against the plaintiffs lawyers.January 25th - Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun posted that the new generation SU7 Capri Blue is very beautiful in person, and they are striving to have some demo cars in dealerships before the Spring Festival, so everyone can experience it firsthand.

Natural Gas prices fall below $2.70 despite USD Index attempts to recover, and demand concerns grow

After a perpendicular recovery to close to $2.70 in the Asian session, Natural Gas futures have turned sideways. Weakness in the US Dollar Index (DXY), in general, has aided the upward bias in natural gas prices. Natural Gas futures appear vulnerable near $2.70 as the USD Index has demonstrated a recovery move to near 103.90 as investors become anxious ahead of the release of the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.

 

The Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates is anticipated to have a negative impact on industrial demand for natural gas (Fed). The market anticipates that Fed chair Jerome Powell's scheduled rate hikes will lead to a recession in the near future.

 

Meanwhile, Winter is nearing its conclusion and summer has not yet arrived. Consequently, demand for residential purposes to heat domestic spaces will remain low. Additionally, because residences will require less electricity to operate air conditioners, power companies are less reliant on natural gas.

 

The recent decline in the USD Index is what has given Natural Gas prices new life. The US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) inventory data, which is released every Thursday, will dominate this week's trading in Natural Gas futures.

 

Going forward, investors eagerly anticipate the publication of US inflation data in order to form a new consensus. According to the projections, the headline CPI could fall to 6.0% from the previous release of 6.4%. And, core inflation, which excludes crude and food prices, is anticipated to decrease slightly to 5.5% from the previous release of 5.6%.
