"Our job is to set clear, loose guardrails to protect investors, stop fraud, and allow responsible innovation to flourish," said Tim Scott, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. He noted that legislation should clearly define which tokens are securities and ensure appropriate protection from illegal financing. Republican Senator Hagerty and others released market structure principles last month, calling for a clear definition of the legal status and regulatory agencies of digital assets. The plan is largely in line with the CLARITY Act proposed by the House Committee in June. Hagerty said he was not worried about losing bipartisan support for market structure legislation and predicted that Democrats who support stablecoin legislation would begin to act.Foreign investors bought Japanese government bonds worth -164.6 billion yen in the week ending July 4, with the previous value revised from 105.26 billion yen to 105.91 billion yen.Japan bought 512.7 billion yen of foreign stocks in the week ending July 4, compared with 190.6 billion yen in the previous period.

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.
