On August 6th, Federal Reserve Governor Tim Cook reiterated her stance: she is prepared to raise interest rates if inflation does not slow, and warned that policymakers may not have room to wait for inflation to return to the 2% target. While Cook supported the Feds decision to keep interest rates unchanged at the July policy meeting, she cautioned that the longer inflation remains above the Feds target, the more difficult it will be to curb it. Speaking at an event in Alaska, Cook said, "If I dont see signs of a sustained decline in inflation anytime soon, Im prepared to act. With inflation above target for five consecutive years, the risk of inflation becoming entrenched in price and wage-setting behavior is rising, which will lead to more persistent inflation that we will find harder to manage." However, Cook indicated that the waning impact of tariffs, the potential for lower oil prices, and easing pressures related to the AI boom might provide a buffer for inflation, thus necessitating policy tightening. She stated that her primary task remains getting inflation back to the Feds target level.SanDisk (SNDK.O) shares fell more than 3% in after-hours trading in the U.S.SanDisk (SNDK.O) reported revenue of $8.96 billion for Q4 of fiscal year 2026, exceeding market expectations of $8.394 billion and compared to $1.901 billion in the same period last year.SanDisk (SNDK.O) expects revenue of $10.3 billion to $10.8 billion for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, compared with market expectations of $10.8 billion.Federal Reserve Governor Cook: Weak consumer confidence is related to a number of factors, including high inflation.

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.
