On September 2nd, Federal Reserve Chairman Williams stated that bond yields are an important indicator for the Feds assessment of the economic situation. The recent rise in yields was primarily driven by strong economic performance, an optimistic economic outlook, and robust investment demand, with some correlation to the Middle East conflict. However, yields currently do not appear to be significantly affected by the inflation outlook. Williams emphasized that the Fed will consider all economic data comprehensively, and its ultimate responsibility remains price stability, with reducing the inflation rate to 2% being the top priority. Tariffs and the Middle East war are the main factors contributing to current inflation exceeding the target, but a second-degree inflation effect from tariffs has not yet been observed. Inflation expectations remain under control, and recent inflation data is encouraging, showing an overall downward trend, although inflation in the services sector remains significantly high. He stated that the labor market is stable and remains robust, and it is necessary to push inflation back to 2% in the foreseeable future. He hopes to further observe and analyze economic data before making the next policy decision and will continue to gather information for the next FOMC meeting. Williams expressed support for the decisions of the July FOMC meeting, believing that the current interest rate level is appropriate and monetary policy is progressing smoothly.Tensions in the Middle East remain high, with Brent crude oil prices nearing the $96 mark during trading.

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.
