ECB Chief Economist Lane: If rising energy prices continue, it could affect consumption in the fall, but this remains an uncertain issue.The Federal Reserve accepted a total of $5.255 billion from three counterparties in its fixed-rate reverse repurchase operations.The total number of oil rigs in the United States for the week ending September 11 will be released in ten minutes.The total number of oil rigs in the United States for the week ending September 11 will be released in ten minutes.September 12 (Reuters) - The White House is exploring the use of the Defense Production Act to expand U.S. refining capacity as the U.S.-Iran conflict exposes the vulnerability of the U.S. to global oil supply disruptions and soaring prices. The proposal was recently discussed in a meeting between Trump and nearly 12 U.S. refiners, but no final decision has been made. Refining executives told the government that federal funds are better suited for improving the efficiency of existing refineries or expanding existing facilities, rather than building new, more expensive, and time-consuming refineries. Latest data shows that U.S. refinery utilization is at 98%, nearing full capacity. The national average price of diesel has surpassed $6 per gallon for the first time, and gasoline prices remain high. The White House stated that expanding refining capacity is a priority for Trump and his energy team, and they are currently evaluating specific options such as regulatory reform, expedited approvals, and increased investment.

Silver Price Analysis: Near 50 DMA, XAG/USD rises to mid-$23.00s

Silver attracted buyers around its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on Friday, halting its previous day's regression from its highest level since April 2022. In the early European session, the precious metal maintains a moderately bullish tone, although the intraday increase lacks bullish confidence.

 

The XAG/USD has formed a rectangle pattern on the daily chart during the previous half-month, bouncing in a typical range. This indicates traders' hesitation and calls for care before putting aggressive direction bets. The inability to gain acceptance above the $24.50 supply zone overnight validates the trading range resistance, which should now serve as a pivot point.

 

Given that technical indications on the daily chart have only recently begun to drift into negative territory, it would be smart to await a sustained advance beyond the aforementioned barrier before putting bullish wagers. The XAG/USD pair might then attempt to recapture the $25.00 psychological level for the first time since April 2022. On the way to $26.00, the momentum could be extended towards the next significant obstacle near the $25.35 region.

 

Conversely, any further decline below the horizontal zone between $23.40 and $23.30 may continue to find support around the $23.00 to $22.95 region. This is followed by support in the $22.75 range, which, if forcefully broken, could pull the XAG/USD to the next key support near the $22.20-$22.15 zone before the $22.00 level.
