Silver trades around $50.80 on Thursday at the time of writing, down 0.70% on the day. The white metal is paring part of the earlier weekly advance, after prices briefly tested the $52.00 area before being rejected as the US Dollar regained strength.The renewed firmness of the US Dollar is weighing across the commodities space, as investors reassess the likelihood of another Federal Reserve rate cut in December. The Federal Open Market Committee Minutes released on Wednesday revealed significant resistance within the committee to further easing, reducing expectations for additional cuts and limiting the appeal of non-yielding precious metals.Silver is also affected by the broad market pause ahead of the delayed Nonfarm Payrolls report for September due later in the day. The Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed that the October report will be published together with November’s data due to the government shutdown, reducing short-term macro visibility. Markets will therefore focus on the available indicators, including jobless claims, hourly earnings and participation, which could help shape rate expectations ahead of the December Fed meeting.Meanwhile, improved risk appetite following Nvidia’s strong earnings has triggered a modest rotation out of safe-haven assets, weighing on demand for Silver.Silver Technical Analysis: XAG/USD compresses between falling resistance and rising supportSilver 4-hour chart.
