Alibaba (09988.HK): The revenue generated by artificial intelligence applications and model services has exceeded RMB 16 billion.On August 20th, according to a source familiar with the matter, Meta Platforms (META.O) spends hundreds of millions of dollars annually accessing AI models through Microsofts Azure cloud service. Meta uses trillions of tokens weekly through the platform. Both companies declined to comment. A key pillar of Microsofts AI strategy is its marketplace called Foundry, which offers models from multiple vendors and had 100,000 customers as of July. Customers from traditional industries such as manufacturing and transportation frequently appear in Microsofts promotional materials. However, according to the source, its largest AI customers are currently mostly other technology companies. ByteDance, Adobe, Perplexity, and AI startup Sierra are also major Microsoft clients. The source revealed that Meta is investing heavily in AI to assist its software development, purchasing model access through multiple platforms based on availability and cost. Metas developers have used OpenAI technology through Foundry to help evaluate the output of their own models.European natural gas prices have reached €65 per megawatt-hour for the first time since March.According to Israeli reports, Ben Gurion Airport is expected to be closed for 6 hours.A spokesperson for the European Commission stated that there are no immediate concerns about the EUs gas supply, with current storage capacity at 62%.

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%.
