Silver Futures Market News and Commentary

Dollar Falls on Euro Strength and Dovish Comments from Fed Chair Powell

The dollar index (DXY00) on Tuesday fell by -0.20% and posted a 1-week low. The dollar retreated Tuesday due to strength in the euro.  The dollar extended its losses Tuesday morning after Fed Chair Powell said he doesn’t see the Fed’s next move as a rate hike. 

US Apr PPI final demand rose +2.2% y/y, which was right on expectations.  The Apr PPI ex-food and energy rose +2.4% y/y, unchanged from March but slightly stronger than expectations of +2.3% y/y.

Fed Chair Powell said, "Q1 in the US was notable for lack of inflation progress, and that told us that we'll need to be patient and let restrictive policy do its work." He added, "I don't think it's likely that the next move would be a rate hike, but it is more likely that we will hold the policy rate where it is."

The markets are discounting the chances for a -25 bp rate cut at 10% for the June 11-12 FOMC meeting and 32% for the following meeting on July 30-31.
