Silver weekly special report based on 1.00 Lot Calculation:
The United States is expected to release its GDP figures for the fourth quarter of 2023 on February 28, 2024. At the last reading, which was a preliminary reading, GDP came in higher than expected (3.3% vs 2.0%). If the upcoming print comes in lower than expected this could weaken the dollar and push the silver higher.
The United States is expected to release its PCE Index figures for the month of January on February 29, 2024. The PCE index is the Federal Reserve’s preferred measure of inflation. At the last reading, the PCE index came in lower than expected (2.9% vs 3.0%). If the upcoming print comes in lower than expected again this could weaken the dollar and push the silver higher.
Inflation in the US has shown a further decline towards Fed’s target of 2.00%. Inflation has no come down from 9.1% in June 2022 to current 3.1%. A falling inflation could support the case for a more aggressive interest rate cut cycle by the Fed in 2024, which could have positive impact on silver.
According to recent market expectations, the US Federal Reserve could cut the current interest rate of 5.50% down to at least 4.50% by the end of the year. Falling interest rates put negative pressure on the US Dollar, which could in turn support the price of Silver.
MIDDLE EAST TENSIONS KEEP MARKETS NERVOUS: According to Reuters, Israel will go after the remaining Hamas battalions in Rafah despite strong international criticism and is preparing a plan to get civilians out of harm’s way, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Rafah is a small city on the southern border with Egypt where over half of Gaza`s 2.3 million people are now living. Egypt warned of “dire consequences” of a potential Israeli military assault on Rafah, which lies near its border.
