On August 25th, the Swedish central bank released the latest meeting minutes, indicating that if higher-than-expected inflation this summer proves sustainable, the policy rate may still be raised later this year. The bank previously decided to maintain the rate at 1.75% at its most recent meeting. Swedish central bank governor Töreden stated in the minutes, "I judge that our next policy rate adjustment needs to be a rate hike. However, the timing of the hike remains uncertain." The mixed economic outlook for Sweden presents a challenging task for the Swedish central bank. Overall inflation is low, at only 0.7% year-on-year in July. Despite some economic recovery, business pricing plans remain moderate, oil prices have retreated from their peak, and the labor market remains weak. However, some worrying factors exist. Overall inflation was boosted by temporary tax cuts in an election year, while underlying price pressures were higher than expected during the summer. Furthermore, the Middle East conflict could still spread and lead to higher domestic prices in Sweden.According to Japans Kyodo News, Japans debt servicing costs will increase by 17.1% in fiscal year 2027/28, reaching a record 36.6386 trillion yen.According to Japans Kyodo News, Japans Ministry of Finance has requested a budget of 38.7 trillion yen.According to Interfax news agency, Kazakhstan has begun supplying small quantities of gasoline to Russia.The Swedish central banks meeting minutes revealed that Governor Töden believes the next policy rate adjustment will require an interest rate hike. However, the timing remains uncertain. He stressed the need for vigilance regarding rising inflation.

Silver price (XAG/USD) maintains modest gains near $20.60 as it probes the metal's retreat from a key short-term resistance line on Monday morning. Despite this, the XAG/USD maintains its three-day winning trend and extends yesterday's recovery from the lowest levels since November 4, 2022.

 

Nonetheless, the impending bear cross on the MACD and the bullion's inability to remain above the 200-SMA, not to mention the failure to cross a two-week-old resistance line, give Silver price bears reason for optimism.

 

Consequently, the bullion remains on track to retest the two-week-old horizontal support zone close to $20.40. However, the metal's further decline may make it difficult to break the $20.00 psychological magnet.

 

The focus will then shift to the monthly low of $19.95 and the November 2022 low around $18.85.

 

On the contrary, recovery movements remain elusive unless the XAG/USD remains below the downward-sloping resistance line from late February, around $20.90 at the latest. The $21.00 round number also functions as an upside filter.

 

The previous week's high near $21.30 may serve as the last line of defense for the XAG/USD skeptics if Silver purchasers maintain control above $21.00.
