With only a month until the election and lagging in the polls, Prime Minister Christophe Kristonssons center-right coalition announced on Friday the formation of a committee to review the countrys operations. Led by Director-General Nordland, the committees task is to identify savings, recommend optimal use of funds, and propose revocable initiatives. An interim report is scheduled for submission next March, with a final report due in January 2028. During its term, the government, supported by the far-right Sweden Democrats in parliament, has been committed to improving the efficiency of public finances.

The Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that the oil giant cannot renew its exploration rights off South Africas rugged, wild Indian Ocean coast. This ruling comes as other offshore oil exploration in South Africa faces challenges, while neighboring Namibia is working to develop crude oil discoveries near its maritime border. The decision could further embolden activists who have won several lawsuits against oil exploration companies. The legal battle began in 2021 when activists objected to planned seismic surveys by Shell and its local partners in whale-infested areas.

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.
