Silver (XAG/USD): Minor mean reversion decline in progress below US$47.17

AUD/NZD: Bullish en route towards a 10-year high at 1.1470 with a less dovish RBA
The RBA is expected to hold rates at 3.6% today after August’s third cut this year, as Australia’s labour market stays tight and CPI rose to 3% y/y in August, its highest since July 2024.
