July 7, according to the Financial Times, Amazon (AMZN.O) and Walmart (WMT.N) will clash this week. Seattle-based Amazon changed the launch of its annual "Prime Member Day" online promotion to July 8, the same date as Walmarts discount event last year. Walmart insisted on starting the event on the same date, which led to a head-on confrontation, and also extended the event from 4 days to 6 days, overwhelming Amazon. Its "Walmart Special" event will be carried out online and for the first time cover 4,600 stores in the United States. "The two retail giants are competing fiercely for the favor of American consumers," said Canavis, an analyst at market research firm eMarketer.Poly Property Group (00119.HK): In June, the company achieved contract sales of approximately RMB 4.8 billion, contract sales area of approximately 165,000 square meters, and an average contract sales price of approximately RMB 29,157 per square meter.According to TASS, Russian air defense forces destroyed 91 Ukrainian drones during the night.According to the Financial Times: British fintech company Revolut has not yet obtained approval from the UK financial regulator and cannot provide consumer credit services to its 11 million customers in the UK.On July 7, ING Bank said that it expects the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.6% at its meeting on Tuesday, as recent growth and inflation data have been weaker than expected. Australias headline inflation rate fell to 2.1% in May from 2.4% in April, close to the lower limit of the central banks 2-3% target range. In addition, the latest monetary policy statement of the Reserve Bank of Australia showed that the voluntary resignation rate fell and the focus of wage negotiations shifted to job security demands, which may slow wage growth more than currently expected. Considering that the downside risks to growth and inflation dominate, we will expand the expected interest rate cut in 2025 by 25 basis points, and the final value of the cash rate is expected to reach 3.1% by the end of the year. The global tariff situation has not yet dissipated, and the overall and core inflation have established a downward trend, and are expected to remain near the median of the 2-3% range in the next few quarters.

Silver price forecast: XAG/USD slides below 20/50-DMAs, below $20

Silver price falls for the fifth straight day as an upbeat market attitude weighs on the non-yielding metal. In addition, broad US currency strength kept white metal prices under pressure as Fed officials reiterated the need to bring inflation down and US jobs data bolstered the case for a September rate hike.

 

The XAG/USD is at $19.50, down from Thursday's $19.93 high. Wall Street gained despite sparse trading. Claims for unemployment in the week ending August 13 fell less than expected, but the housing market cooled. July existing home sales were 5.9% lower than in May 2020.

 

San Francisco's Mary Daly said it's too early to declare inflation victory and favored a 50 or 75 bps boost for September. Kansas City Fed's Esther George said core inflation is "hardly comfortable" and more rate hikes are coming.

 

St. Louis Fed hawk James Bullard said he's leaning toward a 75 bps rate hike in September, but Minnesota Fed's Neil Kashkari said there's more work to be done and he's not convinced the Fed can escape a recession.

 

Kashkara is unsure if the Fed can attain its target without a recession, but other officials remain focused on inflation. Further rate hikes are predicted in 2022 and 2023.

 

Money market futures STIRs have priced in a 50 bps September rise. After the release of July's FOMC minutes, probabilities of a 75-bps hike rose to 78% from 50% on Wednesday.

 

The US Dollar Index, a measure of the dollar's value versus a basket of rivals, rose 0.7% to 107.492, a headwind for precious metals prices. Most US Treasury bond yields fell two basis points, headed by the 10-year benchmark note rate.

 

The US Federal Reserve's tightening cycle will keep XAG/USD prices down. If the Fed can manage a "soft" landing, silver dealers can expect more selling. Safe-haven flows might benefit gold if US economic growth slows and creates a recession.
