Silver price retreats as it forms a three-candlestick pattern “evening-star” at around $24.00, though cushioned by the presence of the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $23.89, ahead of the 20-day EMA at $23.83. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD is trading at $24.00, below its opening price by 1.13%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

From a daily chart perspective, the XAG/USD is neutral to downward tilted, as the pair remained well below the May 11 high of $25.47. Even though support levels lie at around the $23.83/89 area, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator aims downward, warranting further downside. The three-day Rate of Change (RoC) also portrays buying pressure waning. That said, the XAG/USD pullback could extend further.

The XAG/USD next support would be the 100-day EMA at $23.51, followed by June 8 daily low at $23.41, ahead of testing the 200-day EMA at $22.91. Conversely, the XAG/USD first resistance would be June 9 at $24.52, followed by the $25.00 figure.

AUD/USD bounces off multi-month low, nears 0.6900

AUD/USD edges higher toward 0.6900 in the Asian session on Wednesday, recovering some of the previous day’s losses to its lowest level since March as the US Dollar stalls the hot US CPI-inspired rally amid hopes of a US-Iran peace deal. Meanwhile, hawkish comments from FOMC members have almost confirmed another December rate hike, which favors USD bulls and should cap the Aussie.

USD/JPY remains capped below 159.00 amid looming intervention risks

USD/JPY struggles to build on the previous day’s strong gains to a near one-month top as intervention risk supports the Japanese Yen while hopes of a US-Iran peace deal cap the safe-haven US Dollar. That keeps the pair's upside limited below 159.00, for now.

Gold sticks to gains near $4,050 amid steeper Fed rate hike bets

Gold clings to recovery gains near $4,050 in the European session on Wednesday. However, upside seems limited amid sustained US Dollar demand. Tuesday's hot US inflation figures fuel expectations of a more aggressive policy tightening by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). This helps the Greenback preserve recent strong gains, despite hopes for US-Iran diplomacy.

Bitcoin at risk of sharp moves as leverage builds in derivatives markets

Bitcoin remains in a capped tone, trading around $73,800 after slipping to a low of $72,727 following the previous day’s hot US inflation figures. Institutional demand continues to weaken, with BTC spot Exchange Traded Funds recording a $95 million outflow on Tuesday, marking the fourth straight day of withdrawals. Traders should be cautious as a K33 Research report highlights that BTC is at risk of sharp moves as leverage builds in derivatives markets.

Hot CPI helps cement December Fed hike as Nvidia slumps

October CPI inflation landed yesterday and beat expectations across the board. Note that we only received the MM figures because of last year’s government shutdown. Headline MM came in at 0.4%, beating the 0.3% forecast, though below September's 0.6%. Core MM also came in at 0.3%, slightly higher than the 0.2% estimate and matching the prior month’s reading.

What the US CPI headline doesn’t tell you about inflation

Brent crude has fallen about a third since mid-October on hopes the Iran war is ending, but diesel, freight and fertiliser costs haven't followed. Those costs reach US consumer prices in stages through 2027 and could keep inflation high after gasoline gets cheaper.
