Silver price (XAG/USD) extends upside sharply to near the crucial resistance of $23.00 as the upside momentum in the US Dollar Index (DXY) fades after failing to sustain above 103.50. The white metal strengthens as investors hope that the impact of higher interest rates by the Federal Reserve (Fed) will be lower than keeping them higher for a longer period.

S&P500 opens on a mildly positive note as investors’ risk appetite improves. Overall market mood is still cautious as the United States inflation outlook turns extremely sticky due to stronger wage growth. The 10-year US Treasury yields continue to trade around 4.30% as robust consumer spending momentum elevates upside risks to inflation.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) finds some support near 103.00 as the US Department of Labor reported lower-than-expected jobless claims. Individuals claiming jobless benefits for the first time dropped to 239K vs. expectations of 240K and the former release of 250K for the week ending August 11.

Meanwhile, Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes released on Wednesday delivered a clear message that the inflationary environment is still uncertain and further policy action will be more dependent on the incoming data.

Silver technical analysis

Silver price delivers a breakout of the Falling Wedge chart pattern formed on an hourly scale. A breakout of the aforementioned chart pattern results in a bullish reversal. Silver price climbs above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around $22.63.

A break by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) above 60.00 will activate the bullish momentum.

AUD/USD remains above 0.7200 after China's trade data

AUD/USD sits above 0.7200 in the Asian session on Tuesday, near its highest level since May 14. The US Dollar stays under pressure as a rallying Japanese Yen outweighs support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions. This, along with firming expectations for another RBA rate hike later this month, acts as a tailwind for the Aussie. However, mixed China trade balance data keep the pair restricted.

USD/JPY rebounds above 154.00 as markets assess BoJ outlook

USD/JPY rebounds from the six-month low it touched below 153.00 earlier in the day and trades above 154.00 in the second half of the day. Nevertheless, the upside attempts resemble technical corrections for now as Japan's upbeat wage growth data and Q2 GDP revision cement bets on a BoJ rate hike next week and continue to support the Japanese Yen.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight
