According to RIA Novosti, Ukrainian armed forces attacked a bus carrying children from Belarus in the Bryansk region.According to Hong Kong Stock Exchange documents, Beijing Rongxin Digital Technology Co., Ltd. has submitted a listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.June 17th - The market generally believes that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates unchanged. However, uncertainty lies in the economic outlook and how new Chairman Warsh will lead the Fed. The Fed currently faces a resilient job market, strong consumer spending, and inflation still above target. However, the high price readings may decline later this year. Furthermore, Fed watchers expect Warsh to attempt to reshape some of the Feds communication and policy decision-making practices. While its unclear how much will change at the first meeting, its widely expected that he will move in the following directions: reduce the Feds forward guidance on interest rate expectations; possibly abolish the so-called "dot plot," with some suggesting Warsh might not even submit his own forecasts at this meeting; and reduce the frequency of press conferences. Nancy Houten, chief US economist at Oxford Economics, expects the Fed not to raise rates in June, but will adjust its wording, removing any dovish signals. At the last meeting, some members wanted a more open-ended approach, rather than implying that the next step would definitely be a rate cut. While the market has already priced in the possibility of a rate hike later this year, the baseline forecast is a rate cut in December. However, the economist acknowledges the risk that a rate cut may occur later than December.Tencent Holdings (00700.HK): On June 17, it repurchased 1.118 million shares, costing approximately HK$500 million.Tencent Holdings (00700.HK): On June 17, it spent approximately HK$500 million to repurchase 1.118 million shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

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.
