Silver price (XAG/USD) continues to oscillate in a narrow range around $22.70 despite the United States Producer Price Index (PPI) growing at a higher pace than expected in July. The white metal looks vulnerable as the US Dollar jumps swiftly to near 102.80 despite hopes that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates steady in its September monetary policy.
S&P500 opened on a bearish note as a rise in US PPI could elevate the burden on households. Also, investors anticipating retaliation from Beijing as US President Joe Biden prohibits investments in some Chinese sensitive technologies.
US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that monthly PPI grew at a healthy pace of 0.3% against expectations of 0.2%. The higher pace in the price elevation of goods and services at factory gates is due to a rebound in the cost of services at the fastest pace in nearly a year.
On Thursday, US inflation grew at a modest pace in July amid higher house rentals but was aligned with the Fed’s desired rate of 2%. Meanwhile, five-year Consumer Inflation Expectations for August softened marginally to 2.9% against the estimates and the former release of 3.0%.
Silver price consolidates in a narrow range of 22.60-23.00 on an hourly scale. The white metal struggles to find a direction despite the strength of the US Dollar. The 100-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $22.90 is consistently acting as a barricade for the Silver bulls.
A 40.00-60.00 range oscillation by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates a volatility contraction.
