On November 21st, MarketPulse analyst Christian Norman stated that the better-than-expected US non-farm payroll data for September reinforced the Federal Reserves tendency to postpone interest rate cuts. However, a core question now exists in the market: how can the Fed guarantee making the right decisions in the absence of data? Therefore, although a high-interest-rate environment should be bearish for gold, there are signs that the market is beginning to view gold as a hedge against "policy mistakes." If the Fed decides to hold rates steady in December, but subsequent data proves that not cutting rates was a mistake, it could very well shake market confidence in the dollar. In contrast, gold has become a more reliable "safe haven." While this is currently only a secondary logic, it could indeed provide some support for gold prices, as it reflects a decline in market confidence in the Feds ability to accurately control the economy (in the absence of complete information).On November 21, Intel CEO Chen Liwu denied rumors that newly hired executive Luo Weiren had stolen confidential information from TSMC.

During the early Asian session, the silver price (XAG / USD) is advancing rapidly towards the $24.00 round-level resistance. The precious metal has recorded a three-day winning stretch and is anticipated to maintain its upward trajectory due to the US Dollar Index's weakness. (DXY).

 

Despite decreasing concerns about a possible U.S. banking crisis, the price of silver is on an upward trend. Previously, investors supported bullion as a secure refuge to avoid volatility caused by the failure of three mid-tier US banks.

 

Despite the likelihood of additional rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, the USD index struggles to gain ground. (Fed). As US banking fears subside, one school of thought holds that Fed chair Jerome Powell may decide to raise interest rates further. In addition, Fed Chairman Powell anticipates one more rate hike in 2023. And that a rate raise at the Fed's May meeting would allow it to maintain higher rates for an extended period of time.

 

In the meantime, S&P500 futures have added to their gains in the Asian session following a positive close on Thursday, indicating an increase in market participants' risk tolerance.

Monthly headline inflation should be comparable to core inflation, but the year-over-year measure should fall to 5.1% due to the ease base effect.
