The US Producer Price Index (PPI) data for April exceeded expectations, indicating a rise in inflationary pressures. Both month-on-month and year-on-year figures surpassed forecasts, with PPI excluding food and energy also showing significant upticks. Initially, bond markets and silver prices reacted negatively to the news. However, markets rebounded as some elements crucial for the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) deflator didn't suggest excessive inflation, coupled with downward revisions to prior data softening the impact. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's characterisation of the data as 'mixed' further bolstered bond markets and silver prices, suggesting a cautious approach amid evolving economic indicators.

“COMEX Silver prices rose more than 3% to a fresh 39-month high on Wednesday as a plunge in dollar index and treasury yields improved the risk sentiments. This move after the US CPI report offered some relief over inflationary pressures and reinforced bets the Fed will start lowering interest rates in September. Annual inflation and core rates slowed as expected and the US CPI rose 0.3% m/m from March, below forecasts of 0.4%. As a result, the odds for a Fed ease increased, with bets for September currently standing near 70% and for November at 83%,” says the daily commodity insight report from Kotak Securities.
