Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara: No unusual activity has been observed at Mount Fuji.June 26th - According to sources, the ruling coalition led by German Chancellor Merz is negotiating up to €20 billion in personal income tax cuts, attempting to leverage the current momentum to advance a broader reform agenda. However, the parties remain divided on how to finance the tax cuts. Merzs Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leadership and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) leaders will meet on Sunday to bridge their differences on tax cuts for those earning less than €100,000 annually. The coalition partners are preparing to meet on July 1st to finalize plans for pension, healthcare, and tax system reforms to revitalize German economic growth.New York gold futures touched $4,100 per ounce, up 1.29% on the day.U.S. stocks narrowed their losses, with the S&P 500 briefly turning positive, the Dow Jones Industrial Average down slightly by 0.01%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index narrowing its losses to 0.26%.On June 26th, the final reading of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for June came in at 49.5 (preliminary reading 48.9), up about 10% from May, due to a slight decline in gasoline prices. Consumer confidence improved across income, wealth levels, and political affiliations. Expectations for business conditions over the next five years rose sharply by 16%, suggesting that consumer concerns about the long-term consequences of the conflict with Iran appear to be easing.

On Friday, silver extends its breakout momentum through the extremely significant 200-day simple moving average for a second consecutive session. During the early European session, the white metal reaches a five-month high, but struggles to achieve acceptance beyond the $22.00 round-figure threshold. However, the XAGUSD maintains its intraday gains and is currently trading in the $21.85-$21.90 range, up about 0.90% for the day.

 

The overnight rise from levels below $21.00 and subsequent strength above a technically key moving average bolster the likelihood of a near-term advance. However, the RSI (14) on the daily chart is close to entering overbought territory and aggressive bullish traders should proceed with caution. Before positioning for further gains, it is recommended to wait for some near-term consolidation or a slight drop.

 

Nevertheless, the XAGUSD is prepared to surpass $22.00 and may seek to test the next significant barrier near $22.45-$22.50. The aforementioned region represents a dense supply zone and may prove difficult for bulls to penetrate. However, some follow-through purchasing will signal a new breakout and pave the way for a move toward recovering the $23.00 round number. The momentum might eventually propel spot prices to a May swing high in the vicinity of $23.25 to $23.30.

 

In contrast, the daily low around $21.45 that coincides with the 200 DMA breakout point should protect the downside in the short term. Any more decline could be viewed as a buying opportunity and should be limited near $21.00. A decisive breach below might spark technical selling and bring the XAGUSD below the $20.40 support zone. Failure to defend the previously mentioned support levels could shift the near-term bias toward bearish traders.
