NIS, a Russian-controlled oil company, said it has applied for a new license from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control in order to continue operating after June 16.Bank of Japan: Governor Kazuo Ueda will submit written comments at the June meeting, but will not participate in the vote.It is understood that the British government is developing plans to revise the steel tariff system.According to Japans Kyodo News, Japan is negotiating with the U.S. Treasury Department to extend sanctions waivers for Russias Sakhalin-2 energy project.On June 10th, RBC Capital Markets (RCM) predicted that rising energy prices would continue to push up overall US inflation, with little prospect of significant relief in food prices, especially after recent reports of rising beef prices. The bank expects core CPI to rise 0.3% month-on-month in May, with year-on-year growth reaching 2.9%. RCM believes that higher jet fuel prices will continue to push up core services inflation, while a tight labor market and resilient wage growth limit further declines in core services inflation. Meanwhile, core goods inflation has been supported by rising new and used car prices in recent months, which has somewhat masked price pressures on trade-sensitive goods such as clothing, personal care products, and auto parts. Both the ISM manufacturing and services surveys show that business input costs are rising sharply. Recent PPI data indicates that businesses still have the pricing power to pass on higher costs to consumers. Therefore, RCM expects businesses to continue passing on upstream cost pressures in May, with both overall PPI and core PPI rising 0.6% month-on-month and year-on-year growth reaching 6.3% and 5.5%, respectively. Furthermore, a survey conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) in April showed a significant increase in the proportion of businesses planning to raise product prices over the next three months, approaching 30%. This indicates that the process of passing on business costs to end-user prices may continue throughout the summer, thus providing further support for inflation trends in the coming months.

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.
