The Silver price (XAG/USD) recovers to $29.40 on Wednesday despite the stronger Greenback. However, the upside for white metal might be limited by the speculation of delayed rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve (Fed). The market could turn cautious later in the day ahead of the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the Fed interest rate decision.

Technically, Silver keeps the bearish vibe unchanged on the 4-hour chart as the white metal holds below the key 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Furthermore, the downward momentum is supported by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which stands in the bearish zone near 43.0, suggesting the path of least resistance is to the downside.

The key upside barrier for silver will emerge at $30.0, the psychological mark and 100-period EMA. A decisive break above the latter will see a rally to $30.90, the upper boundary of the Bollinger Band. The additional upside filter to watch is a high of June 7 at $31.55, and finally a high of May 29 at $32.31.

On the flip side, a low of June 11 at $29.04 acts as an initial support level for XAG/USD. Any follow-through selling below this level will see a drop to the lower limit of the Bollinger Band at $28.40. Further south, the next contention level is located at the $28.00 round figure.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair. Meanwhile, hawkish RBA expectations also keep the major underpinned.

USD/JPY clings to gains around 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Gold has given up some ground after an initial bullish attempt to reach weekly highs, returning to below the $4,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The US Dollar’s strong upside momentum, combined with rising US Treasury yields across the curve, seems to keep further gains in the yellow metal under scrutiny.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?

The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is

EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
