UBS warned that full tariffs could push U.S. inflation to 5%.On April 3, White House aide Peter Navarro said that US President Trump’s tariffs could increase revenue by three times the size of the World War II tax increase in 1942, and could become the largest tax increase in US history.On April 3, a research report by CLSA indicated that ChinaSoft International (00354.HK)s revenue fell 1% year-on-year to RMB 16.951 billion last year, and the first disclosed AI-related revenue was RMB 957 million, accounting for 5.6% of revenue. The companys price reduction strategy has led to a decline in gross profit margin, and the main reason for the lower-than-expected net profit is a one-time impact. The bank expects the companys fundamentals to improve this year, mainly because the number of employees increased in the second half of last year. The bank expects the companys net profit to reach RMB 748 million this year, up 45.8% year-on-year, and lowered the target price from HK$7 to HK$6.5, maintaining the rating of outperforming the market.On April 3, the Australian bond market has experienced a dovish turn since the White House announced its new tariff agenda. IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said that the market has priced in an 85% chance that the Reserve Bank of Australia will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in May. Subsequent rate cuts are expected in August and November, with a cumulative rate cut of 75 basis points by November. He added that US tariffs have far exceeded expectations, increasing the likelihood of a trade war and recession in the United States. He also said that since goods from countries such as Vietnam are now effectively shut out of the United States, cheap goods are expected to flood other Asian markets.Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi declined to comment when asked about the possibility of retaliation against U.S. tariffs.

Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD returns above mid-19.00s; bulls flirt with 100-day Simple Moving Average

Silver rises on Tuesday's rebound from the 200-hour simple moving average support and adds follow-through momentum for the second consecutive day on Wednesday. The upward move takes the precious metal back over the mid-$19.00 range during the early European session, bringing it closer to Monday's nearly two-week high.

 

The XAG/USD is currently flirting with the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), which, if decisively broken, would open the way for a near-term advance. In the meantime, oscillators on hourly charts remain bullish and have only begun to move into the positive zone on the daily chart. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of a future breach of the aforementioned barrier.

 

The XAG/USD pair might then attempt to exceed the $20.00 psychological level and climb toward the next significant barrier near $20.50. Bulls might then attempt to retake the $21.00 round-number level. This corresponds to the 200-day exponential moving average, above which the momentum might finally drive spot prices back to the monthly swing high, around $21.25.

 

On the other hand, the $19.20 region appears to protect the immediate downside ahead of the $19.00 level and the 200-hour simple moving average, which is currently in the $18.80 zone. A convincing breach below could prompt some technical selling and make the XAG/USD susceptible to accelerate the decline towards the $18.30-$18.25 intermediate support en route to the next crucial level near $18.00.

 

Failure to defend the latter will nullify any near-term bullish bias and return the bias to favor bearish traders. The continuing decline has the potential to bring the XAG/USD pair closer to its September low of $17.55 for the year. The decline might extend to the next significant support near the $17.00 round-number mark.
