Analyst Giuseppe Dellamotta says silver has risen steadily since last Tuesday on
hopes of a US–Iran deal and was further supported by weaker-than-expected US
nonfarm payrolls. The rally’s momentum appears to be waning and may need today’s
US CPI print to continue. CPI is pivotal for the September FOMC outlook and Fed
chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole remarks. Market focus is on core CPI MoM,
expected at 0.2%. A higher-than-expected print could trigger a short-term
sell-off as traders increase rate-hike bets; a weaker or on-target print would
reduce the risk of further Fed tightening and likely offer renewed upside for
silver.
