February 22 – According to the Ukrainian National News Agency, U.S. Presidential Envoy Vitkov stated in an interview with Fox News that Ukrainian and Russian delegations will hold a new round of negotiations within three weeks, potentially leading to a high-level summit. He said, “Kushner and I hope that some of the suggestions we have made to both sides will bring them together within the next three weeks, and may even lead to a summit between President Zelensky and President Putin. The summit could eventually evolve into a trilateral meeting, in which President Trump will also participate.” Vitkov indicated that Trump will only attend the meeting if he feels he can achieve the best possible outcome. Zelensky previously stated that the next round of peace talks should be held in Geneva within ten days.U.S. Presidential Envoy Witkov stated that a new round of peace talks on ending the war in Ukraine will be held within three weeks.February 22nd - According to the China State Railway Group Co., Ltd., as of February 21st, the Spring Festival travel rush was halfway through. The national railway system transported 17.187 million passengers that day, bringing the cumulative total to 258 million passengers. Transportation was safe, stable, and orderly. On February 22nd, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, passenger traffic on the national railway system remained high, with an estimated 17.93 million passengers transported. An additional 2,203 passenger trains are planned to be added.On February 22nd, analyst Chao Deng stated that a forecast from the Yale University Budget Lab estimates that even with the new 15% tariffs, the current effective tariff rate in the United States remains lower than before the Supreme Court ruling. Before the ruling, the rate was 16%, immediately dropped to 9.1% after the ruling, and is now projected to rise back to 13.7%. It is currently unclear how the 2.3 percentage point decrease will affect employment, wage growth, and the prices of goods and services. In contrast, the effective tariff rate is projected to surge by more than 10 percentage points throughout 2025, reaching levels unseen in decades. The economic impact of this significant increase is far less severe than many economists predicted. However, the impact is not negligible. According to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, U.S. businesses and consumers will bear more than 90% of the costs of Trumps tariffs for most of 2025, leading some businesses to freeze hiring and investment. Januarys inflation report showed price increases in several recently tariffed categories, including appliances, furniture, and new cars. This indicates that retailers are beginning to pass these costs on to consumers.Ukraine claims that Russia launched a large-scale missile and drone attack that struck Ukraines energy infrastructure.

Silver is under pressure as the dollar rises to new highs, according to silver price predictions

The U.S. dollar is testing record highs versus a wide basket of currencies while silver is going lower at the start of the week. The main negative trigger for precious metals in recent weeks has been the strengthening dollar. At the beginning of July, the U.S. Dollar Index swiftly passed through the 105 level and tested the 108 level.

 

Treasury rates have decreased from their mid-June highs, but traders' attention has remained on the strong dollar, so this movement was insufficient to boost precious metals.

 

While the U.S. dollar is technically overbought, silver is now trading in oversold territory. While the strong dollar is one issue that puts pressure on the silver markets, it is unclear if silver will be able to recover from present levels.

 

Recession worries have also played a role in the recent swing that sent silver from the $22 level to the $19 level. Silver is sensitive to industrial demand. The U.S. economy is still doing rather well, but there is no doubt that the European economy is about to enter a recession.

 

Markets are concerned that the Fed's rapid rate increases may cause the US economy to contract. The Fed does have an opportunity to plan a "soft landing," though. If the incoming economic data shows that the American economy is slowing, silver will swiftly pick up further bearish momentum and go below the $19 mark.

 

The U.S. Inflation Rate data, which will be announced on Wednesday, should be closely watched by silver dealers. Analysts anticipate that prices rose 8.8% year over year in June.

 

If the news comes in worse than anticipated, silver will take two hits. The price of precious metals will decline as a result of the strengthening of the US dollar. Bond markets will start pricing in more interest rate increases at the same time, which will put extra pressure on precious metals. Silver should have a fair possibility of rising from present levels if the report performs better than expected. Trading may remain choppy until Wednesday since the inflation report may have a big influence on the markets.
