On May 16th, according to an official notice, the Indian government has implemented new restrictions on silver imports, changing several categories of silver products from a free import policy to a restricted import policy. Under the revised regulations, the import of silver bars, unwrought silver, and semi-finished silver (including silver powder) now requires government approval. Certain categories of silver imports are also subject to regulations from the Reserve Bank of India. These changes are introduced through revisions to the import policy catalog under the Harmonized System of Trade (HS) of India. This move comes as the Indian government intensifies its efforts to tighten regulations on precious metal imports and control rising import bills. Previously, the Indian central government had increased import duties on gold and silver from 6% to 15%. Simultaneously, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has tightened regulations regarding the duty-free import of gold by jewelry and gemstone exporters under the "pre-authorization" scheme.On May 16, according to a report by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRNA), a fire broke out at an oil factory in the northwestern Iranian city of Maragay at around 10:00 AM.

Forecast for Silver Price: XAG/USD is rising quickly and is approaching the $20.00 mark

Silver price recovers around the 50-day exponential moving average and advances towards a daily high of $19.69 on Wednesday after the US Labor Department reported that August PPI was in line with predictions of diminishing inflationary pressures on the producer side. Therefore, the XAG/USD is trading at $19.61, 1.86% higher than its initial price.

 

Before Wall Street opened, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the United States reported that the Producer Price Index (PPI) for August decreased by 0.1%, in line with expectations, while the year-over-year figure fell to 8.7%, less than the 9.8% reported in July. Meanwhile, the so-called core PPI, which excludes volatile goods, increased by 0.4% month-over-month and 7.3% year.

 

In the meantime, the US Dollar Index, a measure of the dollar's value against a basket of six currencies, ended Wednesday's session down 0.15 percent, at 109.648, weighed down by US Treasury yields, particularly the 10-year benchmark note rate, which remained unchanged throughout the day at approximately 3.404%.

 

The US Dollar Index reflects the aforementioned by declining by 0.09% and falling below the 110.000 barrier. Similarly, the US 10-year benchmark note rate exhibits signs of weariness, remaining flat at approximately 3.414%.

 

The fact that US 10-year TIPS yields, a proxy for actual yields, rose by only one basis point to 0.939% was a further factor supporting the white metal price.

 

On Thursday, the US economic calendar will contain jobless claims, retail sales, and the New York and Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Indices, which will serve as a precursor to the ISM report in October.

 

The daily XAG/USD chart depicts the white metal as neutral to bearishly biased. Nonetheless, if silver buyers recapture the $20,000 threshold, this might pave the way for a test of a four-month-old downslope trendline near $20.20 prior to reaching the 100-day EMA at $20.39. A breach of the latter will reveal the cycle high from August 15 at $20.87, ahead of the psychological milestone of $21.00.
