Hang Seng Index futures closed up 1.25% at 19,841 points in the night session, 257 points higher than the previous session.Congressional Budget Office (CBO): The cost of clean energy subsidies in the inflation-proof bill is now expected to be $825 billion between 2025 and 2035, compared with an estimated cost of $270 billion between 2022 and 2031.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $118.327 billion from 32 counterparties in fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it was working with SpaceX and relevant authorities to confirm reports of damage to public property in the Turks and Caicos Islands.Futures traders are adjusting their bets in the Treasury market after mild inflation data and dovish comments from a Federal Reserve official. Over the past two days, the volume of open interest has changed, consistent with traders exiting short positions in two-year Treasury bonds and establishing new long positions in longer-term Treasury contracts, especially in the five-year Treasury. The shift came after consumer price inflation data released on Wednesday and comments made by Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller the next day. Data released on Wednesday showed that core price increases in December were lower than economists expected; Waller said that if the trend continues, officials may cut interest rates again in the middle of the year. Morgan Stanleys interest rate strategists suggested late Thursday that long positions could be established in Treasury bonds of this term given expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in March, but this is still a minority view. The swap market expects only a 6 basis point rate cut in March, which means there is about a 25% chance of a 25 basis point cut. “We haven’t ruled out a rate cut in March, but we do see it as more of a tail risk,” said Stephanie LaRosiliere, head of fixed income strategy at Invesco. “It doesn’t feel like the Fed needs to react so hastily.”

Analysis of the Silver Price: XAG/USD is grinding within a crucial Fibonacci retracement envelope

Early Thursday in Asia, the silver price (XAG/USD) retreated to $22.30, erasing the previous day's rebound gains. Nonetheless, the precious metal protects the weekly trading range inside the critical Fibonacci retracement levels of the quote's upward movement from late November 2022 to early February 2023.

 

Even if the $0.50 range has limited recent Silver price movement, RSI circumstances and the 21-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which was around $22.50 at the time of publication, make it difficult for buyers to gain control.

 

In the event that XAG/USD breaches the weekly trading range between $22.10 and $22.60, denoted by the 61.8% and 50% Fibonacci retracement lines, the metal price might target $23.00.

 

After that, various obstacles near $23.10 to $15 could test the price's upward momentum before directing it to the $24.50 barrier. The monthly high of $24.63 also functions as an upward filter.

 

To persuade the Silver bears, a clear breach of the $22.10 range support must be supported by the $22.00 round number.

 

In that event, the November 24 peak around $21.70 and the November 29 swing low at $20.90 could serve as intermediate halts prior to emphasizing the $20.00 psychological magnet for XAG/USD sellers.
