The head of the WTO Department of the Ministry of Commerce provided an interpretation of the position paper. The overall position outlines Chinas general understanding of the WTO and its basic attitude towards WTO reform. The position paper states that the WTO provides open, non-discriminatory, stable, and predictable institutional guarantees for economic globalization. While the multilateral trading system has been impacted by unilateral tariff measures, and trade tensions have intensified, WTO rules and mechanisms remain a crucial barrier against trade turmoil. Unilateralism and protectionism are not the solution; all parties should address the real challenges brought about by economic globalization through multilateral cooperation, domestic reforms, and inclusive and mutually beneficial development. The position paper emphasizes that economic globalization is an unstoppable historical trend. WTO reform should aim to strengthen multilateral trade governance, uphold the most-favored-nation (MFN) treatment as the cornerstone of the WTO rules system, and place development at the center of the WTO reform agenda. It should address long-standing unresolved issues while exploring and formulating new rules for the future.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Assistant Governor Silk: Even with a small rate hike, interest rates will only be near the bottom of the neutral range.Reserve Bank of New Zealand Assistant Governor Silk: Maintaining an accommodative policy for some time is in line with reality.Sources say Germany is considering purchasing more F-35 fighter jets from the United States.

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.
