Silver recovers to $29.74, up from $29.14 low, yet remains under the $30.00 threshold.
Double top pattern hints at possible further declines; first support seen at $29.00.

Silver price trims some of its losses from last Friday, yet it remains under pressure as US Treasury bond yields along the short and long end of the curve rise. The XAG/USD trades at $29.74, gains some 2% after bouncing off daily lows of $29.14, still below the $30.00 a troy ounce value.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver’s double top chart pattern remains, hinting that spot prices could tumble lower. XAG/USD price fell below the May 24 low of $30.05, confirming the ‘double top’ chart pattern.

That said, the XAG/USD first support would be the $29.00 mark, followed by the June 7 low of $29.12. A breach of the latter opened the door for a drop below $29.00, followed by the May 18, 2021, high of $28.74, followed by the June 10, 2021, high of $28.34. Up next would be the ‘double top’ objective at $27.80.

Conversely, if XAG/USD aims upwards and registers a daily close above $29.00, that would pave the way to challenge the May 24 low, turning resistance at $30.05; buyers are struggling to reclaim $30.00, paving the way for further downside.

AUD/USD keeps range near mid-0.7100s as USD bulls await US CPI

AUD/USD steadies near mid-0.7100s in the Asian session on Friday, stalling the previous day's sharp decline to an over one-week low. The August PPI report reaffirmed Fed rate-hike bets and boosted the US Dollar on Thursday, which weighed heavily on the pair. However, hawkish RBA expectations limited losses for the Aussie as USD bulls now await the release of the US consumer inflation figures before placing fresh bets.

USD/JPY holds lower ground toward 154.00; looks to US CPI

USD/JPY holds lower ground toward 154.00 in the Asian session on Friday after hot Japanese PPI data bolster a more hawkish BoJ repricing and provide fresh impetus to the Japanese Yen. However, the downside appears capped as the US Dollar preserves overnight gains ahead of the latest US consumer inflation data.

Gold: Gains remain capped by $4,400

Gold regains composure and trades with decent gains on Friday, managing to refocus attention on the $4,440 mark per ounce troy. Therefore, the precious metal reverses Thursday’s decline as the US Dollar alternates gains with losses at the end of the week.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP extends decline as returning ETF inflows fail to lift outlook

Ripple (XRP) falls below $1.33 on Friday, marking the third consecutive day of declines. The token continues to track the broader cryptocurrency market downturn, with investors closely monitoring heightened macroeconomic uncertainty ahead of the United States (US) Consumer Price Index (CPI) release and next week’s Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision.

Weekly focus – The hawks set the tone

Risky assets came under pressure this week as energy prices kept creeping higher and the ECB surprised the markets with a hawkish tone. The price of Brent crude touched USD 110 per barrel on Thursday night, highest since mid-May, as news emerged that the Yemeni Houthis had reached control of key port cities and islands near the Bab el-Mandeb strait.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight

The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
