1.3 The Key Positives & Negatives

1.4 Underlying Commodity Analysis:

Gold prices remained below the USD 1,940 per ounce, experiencing a decline of over 1% in the past two sessions. The market sentiment was cautious as investors awaited Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's testimony before Congress to gain insights into the future trajectory of US interest rates. Recent data revealed a significant surge in US housing starts, indicating the resilience of the economy despite higher borrowing costs and providing room for further monetary tightening. While the Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates unchanged last week, members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) projected an average of two additional rate hikes this year. The central bank's latest report to Congress emphasized that inflation in crucial sectors of the US services industry remains high and shows no signs of easing. The market currently expects a 25-basis point rate hike in July, signaling the end of the tightening cycle.

Silver prices declined to USD 23 per ounce in late June, reaching the lowest level in a month. This decline was in line with other precious metals as the hawkish stance of major central banks dampened demand for non-interest-bearing assets. The European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of England (BoE) have also indicated their intention to continue raising rates. However, concerns over supply limitations prevented further declines. Regulatory changes in Mexico have made it more challenging for mining companies to obtain mineral concessions, potentially leading to reduced investments in new projects and jeopardizing output from the world's largest silver producer. Moreover, silver production in Peru experienced a 7% year-on-year contraction in the first four months of 2023. Current production levels have raised concerns of a shortage as the demand for silver increases due to the transition to renewable energy sources, particularly in the solar panel and electric vehicle sectors.
