Silver Price Analysis: Awaiting Powell's Comments

 

Today, at 16:30 GMT+3, the Federal Reserve Chairman is scheduled to speak. Market participants are looking for more clarity on the Fed's plans regarding interest rate cuts following the release of inflation data last Friday.

According to Trading Economics, Fed officials have repeatedly called for caution before cutting rates, and Federal Reserve Board member Michelle Bowman stated that she is open to further rate hikes if progress in combating inflation stalls or reverses.

Powell's speech will significantly impact many financial markets, including the precious metals market, as lowering interest rates could increase the appeal of gold and silver as "safe haven" assets compared to bonds.

It is important to note that besides the Fed's monetary policy, the XAG/USD price is significantly influenced by news about the Chinese economy – the largest consumer of silver. The demand outlook remains uncertain, considering that official data for June indicated a second consecutive month of production decline.

TSLA Stock Price Hits Over 5-Month High

 

As today's TSLA chart shows, the stock price rose by approximately 6% during yesterday's trading, surpassing the $209 per share level. This marks the highest point since 24 January this year.

The price increase was driven by optimism related to the release of second-quarter car sales data. It is expected that Tesla might report a decline in sales, but not as significant as it could have been.

Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg estimate that the automaker will report sales of around 440,000 electric vehicles in the second quarter, which is 5.8% less than a year ago.

Factors contributing to the decline in sales include:
→ The suspected arson at the Tesla factory in Berlin;
→ Changes in the supply chain due to attacks in the Red Sea;
→ A reduction of approximately 10% in the company's workforce, announced by Musk in April.

However, the main factor could be competition and Tesla's aging model lineup. Can the TSLA price maintain its current high?

Pound and Euro Test Key Support Levels: Is a Breakout Possible?

 

European currencies are showing surprising resilience. Despite the general strengthening of the dollar and strong macroeconomic data from the US, EUR/USD and GBP/USD continue to trade above strategically important levels:

- EUR/USD has been testing 1.0660 for over three weeks but cannot establish itself below this level.
- GBP/USD buyers have been holding off sellers for a second week at the 1.2610-1.2600 level.

EUR/USD

The recent parliamentary elections in France, with the first round concluding last Sunday, have contributed to a slight strengthening of the euro. The pair opened with a small price gap and managed to strengthen by over 60 pips within a few hours. Experts attribute the rise in the single European currency to the possibility that Le Pen's far-right party might outpace President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance and the left-wing "New People's Front" with fewer votes than needed for an absolute majority after the second and final round of voting.

USD/CAD Breaks Key Support

 

On 25 June, we noted that the USD/CAD price had approached a crucial support level—the lower boundary of a converging triangle, which indicated a relative balance of supply and demand in the market during May.

Since then, the price has bounced twice from this level (as indicated by the arrow).

Today, as the USD/CAD chart shows, the exchange rate is breaking through this key support, indicating a disruption in balance.

This has been influenced by the weakness of the USD. According to Reuters, the US dollar has declined relative to other currencies due to weaker-than-expected US economic data released on Wednesday. These included a weak ISM Services PMI report and the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change report, which might suggest an economic slowdown.

How might the Canadian dollar's exchange rate change relative to the US dollar?

US Dollar Consolidates Ahead of Nonfarm Payrolls: Possible Scenarios

 

In anticipation of the release of one of the most important reports, the NonFarm Payrolls, the US currency has suffered losses across almost all fronts. Earlier this week, the EUR/USD currency pair tested and settled above 1.0800, GBP/USD traded above 1.2700, and USD/CAD fell back to 1.3610.

Today, we might see either continued corrective pullbacks or a resumption of medium-term trends if the employment data deviates from expectations. So, what should we expect?

• Experts forecast a decline in average earnings to 0.3% (if the figure comes in at last month's level or higher, it could strengthen the US currency).
• The number of new jobs in June is expected to be 194K (if the figure is significantly higher or lower than the forecast, it could cause volatility in major currency pairs).

 

USD/CAD

Dollar buyers in the USD/CAD pair failed to overcome resistance at 1.3750. A rebound from this level led to the formation of a "bearish engulfing" pattern on the daily timeframe. According to the technical analysis of USD/CAD, the price has approached the lower boundary of the medium-term flat corridor at 1.3610. If the price consolidates below this level in the coming trading sessions, the downward movement could continue towards 1.3520-1.3480. A rebound from 1.3610 could lead to a retest of 1.3700-1.3660.

XAU/USD Analysis: Gold Price Falls from Six-Week High

 

As shown by the XAU/USD chart, on Friday, 5 July, the price of gold rose above the $2390 level for the first time since 22 May. According to Reuters, this increase occurred following the release of key US employment data, which indicated a softening labour market, raising expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September.

However, yesterday, Monday, the gold price fell to $2360 per ounce – the level from which Friday's ascent began. This suggests that the bulls were unable to maintain control over the market, which indicates a bearish sign.
Could the Gold Price Decline in the Coming Days?

From a technical analysis perspective of the XAU/USD chart:

• The gold market has clear support around the $2300 area. Each time the price fell below this level in June (as indicated by arrows), it quickly rebounded upwards, demonstrating sustained demand.
• Price action since April provides enough reference points to establish a descending channel (shown in red). The recent bearish reversal returned the price within this channel, reinforcing resistance from its upper boundary.
• There is also reason to believe that the bullish breakout of local resistance (shown in black) might be false.

 

Therefore, signs of seller activity in the $2380-2400 range suggest that the gold price could continue to decline towards the important support at $2300.

American Currency Adjusts Ahead of Jerome Powell’s Speech

 

A rather weak employment report, published late last week, contributed to the weakening of the American dollar. According to the published data:

• The unemployment rate in June increased to 4.1% (experts’ forecast: 4.0%);
• The actual number of new jobs was slightly higher than analysts predicted (206K vs 191K).

According to Bloomberg Economics experts, the US labour market is starting to slow down significantly, which could prompt the Federal Reserve to cut rates as early as the September meeting. It is quite possible that more clues about the Fed’s future monetary policy will be provided to market participants by the end of the week, as important press conferences and macroeconomic data releases are expected in the upcoming trading sessions.

USD/JPY

 

Technical analysis of the USD/JPY pair indicates the possibility of a continued downward correction, as a "bearish engulfing" pattern has formed on the daily timeframe. The pattern can be considered partially worked out, as the price has decreased by more than 100 pips and has almost tested the significant support at 160.00 since it formed on the chart.

The price behaviour in the 160.30-159.80 range will demonstrate the sellers' strength. If the price consolidates below this range, the downward movement may resume with renewed vigour. Conversely, if the pair rises above 162.00, it could lead to the start of a new upward impulse.

The following events could impact the pair's price:

• Today at 17:00 (GMT +3): Speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell;
• Today at 17:00 (GMT +3): Speech by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Analysis of NZD/USD: The "kiwi" sharply fell after the central bank's decision

 

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) kept the interest rate unchanged at 5.5% on Wednesday.

The decision to maintain the interest rate was anticipated. However, market participants noted a shift in the tone of the RBNZ's official statements. In May, the bank indicated that the tight policy would continue as long as necessary, but now it is open to easing the restrictive monetary policy if inflation slows down.

As a result, market participants are now considering the possibility of a nearer-term rate cut, which led to a decline in the New Zealand dollar relative to other currencies.

Specifically, against the US dollar, the "kiwi" fell by approximately 0.75%.

Will the decline continue as the situation develops?

Analysts Raise NVDA Forecasts, Stock Price Rises

 

According to FactSet, in July, seven reputable analysts have raised their target prices for NVDA stock. KeyBanc analyst John Vinh, for instance, increased his target from $130 to $180 (approximately 33% above the current price).
