⚡ Intraday 🌍 US · Explicit

Ahead of the October CPI release, the US Dollar is under pressure because global inflation expectations have anchored on falling oil prices, helped by rising hopes of a US-Iran deal. The DXY holds its previous day's losses near 101.67. A hotter-than-expected CPI at 13:30 GMT and confidence in a December Fed hike could however reverse this softness.

Catalysts

▼ US Dollar under pressure as global inflation expectations anchor on falling oil prices
▼ Increased hopes of a US-Iran deal weighing on energy prices

Risk Factors

▲ CPI estimates point to accelerating inflation (headline 3.9% YoY vs 3.7% prior), which could boost the Dollar via December Fed hike expectations

Silver is consolidating near $53.00 ahead of the October US CPI release at 13:30 GMT today, with headline inflation expected to accelerate to 3.9% YoY from 3.7%. Traders already price a Fed rate hike in December, which would pressure non-yielding assets like silver, but the softer US Dollar ahead of the data offsets some of this drag. Technically the metal sits below its 20-day EMA at $54.17 with RSI at 43, keeping a bearish near-term bias.

❓ FAQ

USD · Why is the US Dollar weaker today?

The Dollar is under pressure because falling oil prices, driven by increased hopes of a US-Iran deal, have anchored global inflation expectations, and the DXY is holding its previous day's losses near 101.67.

XAG · Why is silver stuck around $53 today?

Silver is consolidating around $53.00 as traders wait for the US October CPI data at 13:30 GMT, which is expected to shape Federal Reserve rate expectations before the December meeting.

XAG · What would push silver out of its current range?

A daily close above the 20-day EMA at $54.17 would ease the bearish pressure and open the door to a rebound, while a weak reaction to the inflation data could see sellers test prior swing lows, as there are few nearby confirmed support levels.
