South Korean President Lee Jae-myung: We must expedite the administrative processes related to the chip industry cluster.According to South Korean media, South Korean prosecutors say oil refining companies are suspected of conspiring to raise prices despite ample oil reserves.July 6th - Members of the New Zealand Institute of Economic Researchs (NZIER) Shadow Monetary Policy Committee held nearly equal views, reflecting uncertainty about the Reserve Bank of New Zealands (RBNZ) policy outlook ahead of its July meeting. The NZIER Shadow Monetary Policy Committee narrowly supported keeping the RBNZs Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at 2.25% in July, but called it a move roughly equivalent to a 25 basis point rate hike. Those supporting raising the OCR to a neutral level as soon as possible cited rising inflation as the primary reason. Weak demand and high unemployment were considered key reasons for carefully weighing tightening policies. Members differed on the impact of oil prices, with some believing the inflationary impact was temporary and waning, while others warned that price pressures could persist for a longer period. Some members indicated that the next significant policy assessment would be around the time of the second-quarter CPI data release. The committee unanimously agreed that the OCR should rise to 3% to 3.25% over the next year. Several committee members stated that monetary policy needs to gradually return to a neutral level, while also pointing out that weak demand and high unemployment mean the Fed should carefully manage the pace of tightening.International crude oil prices are trending weakly.

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.
