Silver Price (XAG/USD) remains sidelined near $24.70–75 during early Wednesday as bulls jostle with the key upside hurdle ahead of the US data.

It’s worth noting that the nearly overbought RSI joins a 16-week-old falling resistance line surrounding $24.80 to challenge the XAG/USD buyers.

However, the bullish MACD signals a daily closing beyond the four-month-long horizontal resistance zone, now immediate support around $24.50–40, which will test the Silver sellers.

Following that, the 100-DMA support of around $23.95 will precede the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracements of March–May upside, respectively near $23.00 and $22.30, to offer a bumpy ride to the XAG/USD bears.

Meanwhile, a daily closing beyond the aforementioned resistance line of around $24.80 needs support from the US ADP Employment Change, the final readings of the US second quarter (Q2) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE).

Should the softer US data join the Silver Price upside beyond the immediate resistance line, the bulls can challenge the previous monthly high of around $25.30 ahead of targeting the yearly high marked in May at around $26.15.

GBP/USD flirts with 1.3500 as USD finds fresh demand

GBP/USD is flatlining near the 1.3500 level in Europe on Tuesday, facing some pressure from renewed US Dollar demand as a safe-haven amid surging Oil prices and inflationary concerns. The focus now remains on the Middle East headlines, with Wednesday's US CPI data the key event risk this week.

EUR/USD stays weak near 1.1550 amid US-Iran impasse

EUR/USD struggles to gain any meaningful traction and hovers near the 1.1550 area in the European session. Traders seem hesitant to place aggressive bets and opt to wait for further developments surrounding the Middle East crisis and this week's release of the latest US inflation figures.

Gold off two-month highs, back below $4,400 amid surging Oil prices

Gold retreats from its highest level since June 5 at $4,435, touched earlier this Tuesday, and slides back below the $4,400 mark in European trading. Surging Oil prices, amid the US-Iran impasse on talks to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, rekindled inflation concerns, lending support to the US DOllar at the expense of the non-yielding bullion.

Pi Network holds at key support as broader market declines

Pi Network steadies around $0.08745 after two consecutive days of losses, capped below the $0.1000 psychological threshold. Retail demand in PI derivatives remains firm, with Open Interest above $9 million, even as broader crypto market sentiment wanes. Technically, PI faces a steeper correction, as it lacks upside momentum to support a near-term recovery.

The inflation narrative is still way more important than the employment story

Core bonds sold off yesterday with the belly of the curve slightly underperforming in the US while European curves showed more of a bear flattening. Daily changes on the US curve varied between +4.7 bps (2-yr) and +6.4 bps (7-yr).

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
