On August 27th, Federal Reserve official Hammark reiterated that now is the time for officials to take action to curb inflation. She stated that current interest rates are not having a strong enough cooling effect on the economy to allow price pressures to subside on their own. She said, "I think the appropriate approach now is to maintain a certain level of restraint to help inflation fall back to our target level. The longer inflation remains above our target, the harder it will be to bring it down." Hammark was one of three dissenting officials at last months policy meeting, favoring a 25-basis-point rate hike. She said, "In my view, the real problem with inflation deviating from our target for an extended period is that the public may be starting to develop an inflationary mentality." She added that she hasnt seen this yet, but conversations with some people have made her concerned. Hammark also stated that the performance of capital markets indicates that current interest rates are not putting sufficient pressure on credit or economic growth. She said, "Weve seen trillions of dollars in IPOs and record-breaking debt issuances. From my perspective, this doesnt look like the economy is being restrained."According to the New York Times, the Trump administration will expand the number of flights to Haiti.On August 27, according to Irans Tasnim News Agency, following months of attacks by the United States, Iranian Parliament Deputy Speaker Ali Nikozadeh inspected the oil infrastructure on Kharg Island, located off the southern coast of Iran.

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.
