Apple (AAPL.O) is revamping the video functionality of its podcasts as part of an industry-wide shift from purely audio-based media to visual formats. A statement released Monday revealed that in the iOS 26.4 developer beta, Apple is making it easier for viewers to switch between video podcasts and audio listening. While Apple Podcasts has long supported video programming via RSS feeds, its effectiveness has lagged far behind platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Netflix. Apple is partnering with hosting platforms such as Amazons Art19, SiriusXMs Simplecast, and AdsWizz to ensure podcast creators can sync their video programming to the app. Starting this spring, video podcasts will be supported on Vision Pro, iPad, iPhone, and the web version of Apple Podcasts. Later this year, Apple will also charge ad networks for video ads based on ad impressions.February 17th - New Zealands newly appointed Reserve Bank of New Zealand Governor Anna Brehman will hold her first policy meeting this week, and is expected to keep interest rates unchanged. Amid persistent inflationary pressures, the market is focused on her assessment of the economic outlook. A survey of 22 economists indicates that Wednesdays meeting will maintain the official cash rate at 2.25%. Brehman joined the Reserve Bank of New Zealand from the Swedish central bank in early December last year. In the last three months of last year, the countrys economy expanded rapidly, and inflation unexpectedly exceeded the upper limit of the 1-3% target range, prompting economists to widely predict a rate hike before the end of the year. The money market currently bets a 70% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in September and has fully priced in a tightening of policy in December.February 17 – The head of the Ukrainian negotiating delegation, Umerov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, stated that the Ukrainian delegation has arrived in Geneva and will begin a new round of peace talks tomorrow in the form of trilateral talks.

Silver Price Analysis: XAG / USD declines from a crucial EMA confluence below $22.00

As it consolidates the previous day's gains and extends a retracement from a five-week high, the silver price (XAG/USD) retests its intraday low near $21.70 early Thursday. In doing so, the precious metal represents the fourth consecutive day that it has failed to cross the convergence of the principal Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

 

In spite of this, the 50-EMA joins the 100-EMA and 200-EMA in highlighting the $21.80-$90 region as a difficult nut to break for Silver buyers.

 

Nonetheless, bullish MACD signals and an upward-sloping trend line from early September 2022 limit the immediate downside of the XAG / USD around $20.00.

 

Prior to that, the previous weekly highs of approximately $21.30 and $20.00 could entice the Silver bears.

 

In the event that the Silver price remains adverse beyond $20.00, a decline to the November 2022 low near $18.80 cannot be ruled out.

 

On the other hand, a daily close above $21.90 appears required for the XAG / USD investors to regain control.

 

Even so, the $22.00 threshold and January's low near $22.75 could present a challenge to Silver purchasers before they gain control.

 

Overall, the Silver price does not enter the buyer's radar until it surpasses $21.90. However, the negative appears to be limited as well.
