The United States Trade Representative (USTR) welcomes the progress made by Switzerland; we are working to finalize a trade agreement with Switzerland.On June 30, the Swiss government issued a statement announcing that it had signed a joint statement with the United States last year aimed at stabilizing bilateral trade relations. As part of ongoing tariff negotiations with the US, the Federal Council recently released a statement of intent outlining how it will implement the specific commitments made in the previous joint statement. In addition to lowering import tariffs on some US goods following the signing of the statement, the Council plans to take further measures to implement the relevant agreements. These measures include simplified recognition of US standards in the areas of conformity assessment bodies, medical devices, passenger cars, and government procurement. The Council will implement these measures by revising regulatory rules. The implementation of these measures aligns with the objectives set forth in the joint statement and is consistent with the mandate for negotiations with the US. The Council also expects the US to fulfill its commitments in the same way. This announcement will further contribute to stabilizing bilateral economic relations between Switzerland and the United States and provide Swiss exporters with greater planning certainty.

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.
