On June 30th, former Bank of Japan executive director Kenzo Yamamoto stated, "The Bank of Japan is currently in a position where it needs to act quickly." When asked whether the central bank would raise interest rates again in December, as most economists surveyed predicted, Yamamoto said, "Given the current level of monetary easing, the next rate hike is likely to occur before then." Yamamoto pointed out that the banks underlying inflation gauge (excluding special factors such as fresh food and government subsidies) has averaged around 3% over the past four years, well above the central banks 2% target. However, Japans key inflation gauge—the core consumer price index excluding only fresh food—remained at 1.4% in May, mainly due to measures introduced by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to alleviate cost-of-living pressures. The Bank of Japan recently stated that price trends remain slightly below 2%. "I would be concerned if the Bank of Japan claimed that its underlying inflation gauge failed to reflect price trends," Yamamoto said. "The Bank of Japan needs to shift its policy focus to curbing inflation."Samsung Electronics is currently up 2%, and SK Hynix is up 1%.June 30th - The British Retail Consortium (BRC) reported that UK food inflation has fallen to its lowest level in 15 months, the latest sign of easing cost pressures that could prevent the Bank of England from raising interest rates. Data released on Tuesday showed that UK food prices rose 2.4% in early June, down from a 2.7% increase the previous month, mainly due to lower inflation for fresh food. Overall retail price increases remained at 1.2%. BRC Chief Executive Helen Dickinson said, "Thanks to a bumper harvest and intense market competition, retailers have helped keep prices for summer treats like strawberries and ice cream low." Private sector surveys and official data showed that overall inflation in the UK economy had been more stable than previously expected before the initial peace agreement between the US and Iran led to a drop in oil prices. Therefore, the market no longer fully expects the Bank of England to raise interest rates this year, whereas previously it had anticipated three to four hikes of 25 basis points each.Japans inventory levels fell 0.6% month-on-month in May, compared with a previous decline of 0.3%.Japans industrial production fell 1.7% year-on-year in May, compared with a forecast of 1.2% and a previous reading of 2.00%.

Along with the majority of the precious metals complex, silver prices moved in a sideways direction. Following weaker-than-expected existing home sales, U.S. Treasury rates were restricted. Gold prices decreased, putting a ceiling on the precious metals complex.

 

According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales decreased by 3.4% in May to 5.41 million units at an annualized pace. Sales decreased by 8.6% compared to May 2021. This value is the lowest since June 2020. The decline in demand was likely due to the increase in mortgage rates. During the month of May, the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage increased from around 4 percent to 5.5%.

Technical Evaluation

The price of silver inched up but remained above the 10-day moving average of 21.64. At the 50-day moving average of 22.52, there is observed resistance.

 

The recent crossing of the 50-day moving average below the 200-day moving average is negative for XAG/USD and indicative of bearish momentum.

 

As the fast stochastic created a crossing sell signal, short-term momentum has gone negative.

 

The medium-term momentum turns positive when the histogram and MACD both show positive values (moving average convergence divergence). The trajectory of the MACD histogram is positive with an upward sloping trajectory, indicating that prices will increase.
