On August 15th, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi stated in a media interview on August 14th that while mediators Qatar and Pakistan are exchanging information and maintaining contact with Iran, this does not signify ongoing negotiations. Iran has not yet decided whether to resume negotiations with the United States. Araqchi also stated that negotiations between Iran and Oman are ongoing and relate to determining the navigation routes through the Strait of Hormuz for ship passage; this is a completely different issue from the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Araqchi emphasized that Iran will only restore passage through the Strait of Hormuz if the United States complies with certain conditions.August 15th - According to real-time data from Lighthouse Pro, as of 12:22 PM on August 15th, the film "Welcome to Dragon Restaurant" has surpassed 600 million yuan at the box office.August 15th - According to the New York Times, supply problems for the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier began shortly after the first day of the war – when Iranian missiles and attack drones struck a US Navy base in Bahrain. This attack was Iranian retaliation for the US-Israel joint attack on Tehran, and much of the bases infrastructure was destroyed. Along with the smoke, a major logistics hub upon which the Navy relied was also destroyed. The Navy urgently needed backup plans to continue supplying sailors operating around the clock to maintain air support and, later, to maintain the blockade of Iranian ports. The loss of the Bahrain logistics hub led to numerous problem reports on the carrier supporting the war effort against Iran, and Democratic senators expressed concern about the 5,000 sailors on the Lincoln and its nearly nine-month deployment.August 15th - According to Politico, President Trumps demands on the Navy reached their peak this month, threatening to further weaken an already heavily financially and logistically burdened branch of the military. Trumps deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier has set a record, with the ship having been at sea for nine consecutive months, and sailors families warning that the crew is nearing its limit. A government report indicates that Trumps proposed "golden fleet" of new battleships will cost billions of dollars more than expected. Meanwhile, experts have criticized the presidents order to reinstate outdated technology, a move that could completely disrupt ship production. These problems are now compounding, significantly increasing the pressure on the U.S. Navy. The Navy itself is chronically plagued by delays, cost overruns, and a shrinking fleet, all of which could jeopardize its ability to defend the nation. One U.S. official said, "Our warships are exhausted in the Middle East and the Caribbean, with no end in sight. The Navy is really on the line right now."Iranian Foreign Minister: Iran has not yet decided to resume negotiations with the United States.

Silver Prices Stabilized Due to Concerns Over Ukraine's Counter-hawkish Fed Policy

Tips

  • Despite mounting inflation concerns, silver prices remained stable.

  • The dollar strengthens upon the publication of the Federal Reserve's minutes.

  • Benchmark yields decreased following a week-long surge.

  • Oil prices are falling as the US and EIA pledge to release critical stockpiles.

 

Silver prices remained unchanged as mounting inflation fears fueled demand for the safe-haven metal. Benchmark rates fell today on the Fed's announcement of aggressive policy tightening. The 10-year yield reaches its highest level since March 2019 of 2.67 percent. Gold and silver prices climbed as fears of escalating inflation fueled demand for safe-haven assets. The inflation scenario contradicts the Fed's instructions to raise interest rates. Oil prices fell as EIA member states announced plans to release additional strategic reserves. This is the largest release since the stockpile was established in 1980. Analysts disagree on the extent to which the release of supply will affect market tightness.

 

For the latest week, jobless claims decreased by 5,000 to 166,000. This figure, which is the lowest since 1968, indicates the extent to which the job market tightened last week. Dow Jones estimated the figure at 200,000. The job market has been experiencing a significant scarcity of workers. Increased demand for labor has resulted in rising wages and soaring inflation.

Technical Evaluation

Silver prices remained relatively stable near the 24.6 level, as the recent sanctions against Russia continue to underpin XAG/USD. Silver, on the other hand, may suffer downward pressure to the $24.00 mark as yields rise and the dollar strengthens. Bulls may target silver in order to break through the $25 level and maintain momentum. Near the horizontal trendline near 23.6, there is support. Near the $26.00 level, resistance is located. Short-term momentum shifted negative as the fast stochastic crossed below the zero line, signaling a sell signal.

 

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