Federal Reserve: The FOMC meeting will resume as scheduled on Wednesday morning (9:00 p.m. Beijing time).July 29th - Despite some speculation that the Federal Reserve might unexpectedly raise interest rates on Wednesday, Fundstrat Global Advisors market strategist Tom Lee believes this is unlikely, primarily based on recent progress on inflation. The latest inflation data shows that housing costs and other key components are slowing, giving the Fed room to keep rates unchanged. Therefore, it would be surprising if the Fed, which always emphasizes data collection, concluded that inflationary pressures remain strong based solely on surface observations. Admittedly, inflation has not yet returned to 2%, but the impact of tariffs and rising oil prices are distorting these figures. However, the Fed may consider further reducing its asset holdings on its balance sheet.BMW has chosen Qualcomm (QCOM.O) as its main chip supplier for its digital cockpit.July 29th - Industry sources revealed that the Shanghai Stock Exchange Board of Directors Investor Education and Protection Committee has identified three key research topics for this year: the construction of a prevention and control mechanism for illegal securities activities, the application boundaries and compliance governance of artificial intelligence in securities services, and the identification and dispute resolution mechanism for typical complaints against securities companies. Currently, the corresponding three special survey questionnaires have been distributed to member units, and an in-depth review of the investor protection system covering the securities industry is underway. Securities industry professionals stated that, judging from the questionnaire design, the regulatory approach is shifting from "whether it exists" to "how well it works"—no longer satisfied with simply establishing rules and regulations, but delving into the actual effectiveness of the mechanisms operation, the real impact of technological means, and the removal of obstacles to cross-departmental collaboration. The relevant research findings are expected to provide first-hand evidence for subsequent industry policy formulation and the promotion of best practices.CEO of Italian oil company Eni: We expect a competition for liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply among major powers.

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.
