AI investment worries continue to worry investors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

US equities<\/strong> were on the back foot yesterday, with S&P 500 retreating<\/a> notably. Market worries for the extent of investments <\/strong>in AI <\/strong>by tech companies<\/strong> are extensive, especially for Mega Cap companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue tends to enhance a risk off approach by market participants weighing on US equities<\/a> and further intensification of the market worries could lead to further losses in US equities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xlence Research Team opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

US equities with special focus being on the tech sector could continue to lose ground should market worries intensify and especially should January\u2019s US CPI rates accelerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil prices fall as oil demand seems to be easing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oil prices<\/strong> tumbled yesterday as market worries for the demand side of the international oil market<\/a> resurfaced. On the one hand, reports about China <\/strong>in 2025, producing the first time more energy from renewable than conventional sources, highlighted the turn of China\u2019s energy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that the China is a top oil consumer, the market\u2019s worries for a possible easing of demand are understandable. Also reports noting that the International Energy Agency<\/strong> expects an easing of the growth of oil demand in the current year also substantially weighed on oil prices. Last but not least, the tensions in the relationships between the US and Iran seem to be easing, which is also a bearish <\/strong>element for oil prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xlence Research Team opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All things being equal, the bearish tendencies for the oil market<\/a> are expected to continue, however as a small word of warning oil bears seem to hesitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Markets about to be rattled as US January CPI rates are to be released<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the release of the US employment report<\/strong> for January, we highlight as Xlence<\/a> research team, the release of the US CPI rates<\/strong> for January as the next possible game changer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CPI rates are currently expected by analysts to slow down a bit and should the rates slow down beyond market expectations, we may see the USD retreating against its counterparts. On the other hand, a possible acceleration of the rates could take the markets by surprise and provide asymmetric support for the greenback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xlence Research Team opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the FX market<\/a><\/strong> the weakening of the USD seems to gave been halted and the greenback is looking for direction. Should the market\u2019s expectations for the Fed to cut rates ease further, we may see the USD gaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin\u2019s bearish tendencies renewed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin\u2019s<\/strong> price continued to drop yesterday for a third day in a row and shows some signs of stabilisation in today\u2019s Asian session European sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that the drop of the crypto\u2019s price was accompanied also be a drop to record low levels of CMC\u2019s Crypto Fear and Greed Index<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xlence Research Team opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Overall the bearish sentiment seems to remain present in the crypto market and could drive Bitcoin\u2019s price even lower, despite a possible correction yet temporary higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
