On November 10th, the Ukrainian State Electricity Company announced that due to Russias continued attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities, most regions of Ukraine will experience 24-hour power rationing on November 10th. The company stated that the rationing will last from midnight to 11:59 PM, and industrial users power consumption will also be limited during the same period. The Ukrainian government also urged the public to conserve electricity during peak hours.On November 10th, Bezoss space company Blue Origin planned to launch its New Glenn rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Sunday, a key test in the startups path to challenging SpaceXs dominance. The approximately 97.5-meter-tall rocket will carry two spacecraft built by Rocket Lab to Mars. This mission marks New Glenns first mission for NASA. New Glenn successfully completed its maiden flight in January, reaching orbit, but its boosters failed to land. Similar to SpaceXs Falcon series, New Glenn is designed to be partially reusable, with boosters capable of multiple launches, thus reducing costs.On November 10th, New York Federal Reserve President Williams stated that financial pressures faced by low- and middle-income Americans could threaten the resilience of the U.S. economy, even as wealthier families benefit from the stock market boom. In an interview, Williams said the Feds December interest rate decision "will be a balancing act." He noted, "Inflation remains high and shows no signs of declining," but the U.S. economy "still exhibits a degree of resilience." Nevertheless, many Americans are still struggling with housing and living costs. There are signs that "low- and middle-income families are facing some constraints in terms of affordability," posing a risk to consumer confidence and spending. Williams also rejected calls to modify the Feds benchmark interest rate mechanism, stating that expectations of productivity gains driven by artificial intelligence are supporting the market, but he is concerned about potential over-investment and a stock market bubble.On November 10th, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated on the 9th that US President Donald Trumps recent announcement of plans to resume nuclear testing gave the impression that the US intended to begin nuclear testing in the near future. Russia needs clarification on this. Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not ordered the immediate commencement of preparations for nuclear testing, and if any other country violates the nuclear testing ban, Russia will be forced to take reciprocal measures to maintain strategic balance.On November 10th, it was reported that on November 9th local time, U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that a potential agreement to end the government shutdown was "progressing." However, Thune also noted that an agreement was not guaranteed, as senators needed time to read the proposal and it could take several hours before concrete action could be taken.

Silver Prices Dropped As the Dollar and Yields Were Under Pressure

Significant Insights 

  • Silver prices have remained quite stable.

  • The dollar has depreciated, losing its safe-haven status.

  • Yields declined as employment statistics indicated increased inflation fears.

  • Oil prices fell sharply in the aftermath of promising peace talks.

 

Silver prices were largely unchanged on Wednesday, finishing in the green. The GPD suggested an increase in economic growth of 7.1 percent, which bulls did not find impressive. Benchmark yields fell as bond spreads narrowed. Tuesday saw the end of the 5s-30s inversion. The inversion highlighted the prospect of a recession as a result of the Fed's interest rate hikes. Gold prices increased as the currency and Treasury yields fell. The dollar sank as the currency's safe-haven attraction waned and the Euro strengthened. Oil prices have risen as the US weighs more sanctions against Russia in areas critical to the country's invasion of Ukraine.

 

According to ADP's Private Payroll Report, private payrolls increased by 455,000 in March, above expectations. In March, economists predicted that 450,000 additional jobs would be generated. The preceding month's total was 486,000. The leisure and hospitality sectors added the most jobs, 161,000 in total. Despite a tighter labor market exacerbated by the Fed's aggressive stance, hiring remains healthy. This report comes just two days before the highly anticipated nonfarm payrolls report, which indicates job growth.

Technical analysis

Silver prices reached a high of almost $25.00, tested the 10-day moving average, and then fell to $24.80. While silver is now trading higher, the Russia-Ukraine peace talks indicate a downward trend. Critical US data and diminishing geopolitical uncertainties will cause the metal to fall. Additional weakness might result in a test of the 200-day moving average. The $26.00 level will be a litmus test, although bull prices are very certainly capped.

 

Support is located near the 50-day moving average at approximately 24.32. Near the downward sloping trendline near 25.7, resistance is seen. The short-term momentum went positive as a crossover buy signal was triggered by the fast stochastic.

 

The medium-term momentum is negative, as indicated by the histogram's negative correlation with the MACD (moving average convergence divergence). The MACD histogram's trajectory is negative but decelerating, indicating an upward trend in price movement.
