March 18 – In response to strong consumer backlash over price increases triggered by the war, Germany has taken action to limit the frequency of gas station price adjustments and strengthen antitrust oversight. According to a document from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, gas station operators are only allowed to adjust gasoline and diesel prices once a day at midday, while price reductions can be made at any time. Violators will face fines of up to €100,000 (approximately US$115,400). The ruling coalition will also strengthen antitrust enforcement by shifting the burden of proof from regulators to fuel suppliers operating in Germany. Companies will be required to prove compliance with the rules, rather than the authorities proving market abuse. These measures are Chancellor Merzs response to the oil price surge caused by the war with Iran. This month, fuel prices in Germany have risen to over €2 per liter (approximately US$2.3079), prompting calls for state intervention from lobbying groups, politicians, and voters.March 18th - As of 2:30 PM closing, the Shanghai Gold futures contract fell 0.16% to 1114 yuan/gram, the Shanghai Silver futures contract fell 1.85% to 20088 yuan/kilogram, and the SC Crude Oil futures contract rose 2.74% to 756 yuan/barrel.Market news: The Public Diplomacy and Information Center of the Iranian Nuclear Energy Organization stated that, regarding reports of enemy projectiles hitting the Bushehr nuclear power plant, the National Nuclear Safety Systems Center confirmed that, fortunately, there was no financial, technical, or personnel damage, and no part of the nuclear power plant was damaged.

Silver Markets Face the Same Headwinds, According to Our Silver Price Predictions

The silver market has opened higher on Thursday, despite the fact that the markets as a whole remain quite volatile. Silver is unpredictable under the best of situations, so it does make a lot of sense that this market finds itself trying to rise to the $22 level again. The $22 level is an area that has been like a magnet for pricing, so it would not surprise me at all to see a bit of hesitancy. In the event that we break above that level, the market will have to contend with the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA).

 

All else being equal, this is a market that continues to find quite a deal of downward pressure, especially since we have just created a significant “H pattern.” If we were to break over the 50 Day EMA, then it may open up a greater move, and breaking above the $23 mark might flip the whole thing around. That said, the bond market and the US dollar will almost certainly have a significant impact on the market. Keep an eye on the US Dollar Index, which has a strong negative association with silver most of the time.

On the downside, the market falling down below the $20.50 level opens up fresh selling, and potentially an effort to move down to the $20 level. If the price of silver breaks through that level, it will throw the market into a tailspin as major selling pressure is released. At this time, I feel that it is more likely than not going to be a “fade the rallies” sort of marketplace.
