Technical:
The near–term support is around $2015, a break below targets of $2000/$1970/$1956/$1930. The yellow metal faces minor resistance around $2030 and a breach above will take it to the next level of $2045/$2060/$2070/$2080/$2100.
It is good to buy on dips around $2000 with SL around $1970 for TP of $2065/$2080.
Silver-
Silver lost its shine, as a surge in inflation might delay an early rate cut. It trades above 21, 55- EMA, and 200 EMA in the 4-hour chart. The near-term support is around $22.75 and a break below confirms an intraday bearishness. A dip to $22.20/$21.90/$21.40/$20.68 is possible. Any violation above $23.60 confirms further bullishness. A jump to $24/$24.60 is possible.

WTI crude oil trades stable on improved demand from China. Any close above $80 confirms a bullish continuation.
Major resistance- $80/$82.50. Significant support- $74/$72.
