July 2 – Microsoft (MSFT.O) is forming a new 6,000-person division to help enterprises with the technical and strategic work of deploying artificial intelligence. Microsoft stated that the divisions employees will possess extensive experience in engineering, corporate training, and management, as well as industry-specific expertise. Judson Altoff, CEO of Microsofts Commercial Business, said that closer collaboration with customers will help them implement AI more efficiently and will also inform Microsofts own product development decisions.July 2 – Tesla (TSLA.O) sales significantly exceeded Wall Streets previously conservative expectations, bucking the trend of slowing growth in the global plug-in electric vehicle market. The company delivered 480,126 vehicles globally in the second quarter. This figure surpassed the average forecast of 396,466 vehicles compiled by Bloomberg. Deliveries increased by 25% compared to the same period last year. Last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk faced widespread consumer criticism for his controversial performance under the Trump administration.

They also increasingly anticipate that Musk might choose to merge Tesla (TSLA.O) with SpaceX, which completed a record initial public offering (IPO) last month.July 2nd - Following the release of the latest U.S. government jobs data, markets on Thursday bet that the case for a Federal Reserve rate hike later this month has significantly weakened due to a marked slowdown in job growth. The closely watched jobs report released Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that nonfarm payrolls increased by 57,000 in June. This was roughly half of economists expectations. Mays job growth was revised down to 129,000 from the initially reported 172,000. Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, wrote, "The slowdown in job growth challenges expectations of a labor market recovery in recent months, but more importantly, it reinforces the view that the Fed faces little pressure to tighten policy." Short-term interest rate futures traders now believe the probability of a July rate hike has fallen below 20%, but still see a higher probability of a September rate hike.Tesla (TSLA.O) shares rose more than 2% in pre-market trading but have since fallen back to less than 1%.

Silver Prices Face Downward Pressure Due to the Prospects of a Hawkish Fed and Uncertainty Regarding China's Lockdown

Silver prices have fallen as a result of the broader commodity sell-off. The dollar gained strength versus all major currencies as prospects for Fed tightening increased. Benchmark rates fell substantially today, following a spike at the end of last week in response to fears over China's covid shutdowns.

 

Gold prices fell to April lows around $1900 on forecasts of rate increases and a strong dollar. Oil prices fell as demand concerns arose as a result of China's Covid crisis.

 

Oil prices also fell as a result of a strong dollar, which makes commodities more expensive for holders of foreign currencies. Due to the Russian supply problem and Libyan supply disruptions, the oil market experienced tight supply conditions.

 

Bullard, president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve, suggested that a 75-basis-point rate hike may be necessary to tackle runaway inflation. While some policymakers have suggested that a greater rate hike would be detrimental to the economy, market participants have approved it.

 

Investors remain focused on Friday's release of the March Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, a key inflation indicator. Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, suggested that a 50-basis-point rate hike was expected in May.

Technical Evaluation

Silver prices fell 2.5 percent Thursday, below the 200-day moving average's major resistance level of 23.85. Silver prices will continue to decline as a result of the prospect of a 50-basis-point rate hike and may hit the December 2021 lows near the 21.4 level. Silver prices are harmed by hawkish Fed tightening.

 

Support is located near the $22.776 200-day moving average. Resistance is located near the $24.92 50-day moving average. Short-term momentum is negative but is turning positive following a crossover of the fast stochastic, which may indicate a crossover sell signal.

 

The medium-term momentum has shifted to the downside, as evidenced by the histogram's negative correlation with the MACD (moving average convergence divergence). The MACD histogram's trajectory is negative, indicating a downward trend in price movement.
