Silver price fell on Wednesday as market participants awaited the release of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index, after releases from major countries hinted at a reacceleration of inflation. The XAG/USD spot price is at $28.76, down by 0.46%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The grey metal formed a ‘bearish engulfing’ chart pattern last week, indicating potential for further downside. Momentum support sellers, as measured by the bearish Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggest that silver could extend its losses.

Therefore, XAG/USD's first support is the June 10, 2021, high at $28.28. A breach of the latter will expose the psychological $28.00 mark, followed by the May 8 swing low of $27.01, ahead of the 100-DMA at $26.82.

Conversely, if XAG/USD resumes its uptrend, the next resistance level would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $29.17. Surpassing this level would target the June 7 high of $31.54. Clearing this would aim for $32.00 before challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of $32.51.

AUD/USD extends the range play above 0.7200 as traders await US inflation data

AUD/USD is seen extending its consolidative price move above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Thursday amid mixed cues. Rising RBA rate-hike bets keep the Aussie close to its highest level since May 14. However, hawkish Fed expectations and escalating US-Iran tensions offer some support to the US Dollar, capping the currency pair as traders await US inflation figures.

USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold eases within range, hovers around $4,360

Gold turned south early in the American session on Thursday, but holds within familiar levels as investors await more clues on US monetary policy. The August US Producer Price Index report and the US Consumer Price Index due on Friday will likely shape the market's tone ahead of the Federal Reserve monetary policy announcement next week.

Raydium's rally signals trend reversal amid network growth, buyback

Raydium maintains a firm bullish tone, posting nearly 9% gains, and extending its 41% rally from Sunday. Solana-based Decentralized Exchange is witnessing a surge in network activity and growth amid new token launches. The technical outlook for Raydium signals a potential upside toward $1.50 as momentum holds firm despite overbought conditions.

Jobs opened the door for the Fed — inflation decides whether it walks through

The latest US jobs report did not end the debate over the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move. It may have done something more subtle: it gave policymakers permission to keep their options open. After months of softer labour market signals, August delivered a stronger-than-expected rebound.

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.
