What started as a correction amid profit-taking, turned into a sharp reversal. In a few sessions, silver erased most of the month’s losses. On Thursday, XAG/USD peaked at $25.79, the highest level since July 16.
Also, gold is also up considerably on Thursday, 1.5%. The improvement in risk sentiment also contributed to the rally in commodities. At the same time, the US dollar is falling across the board. The DXY drops 0.60%, losing ground for the fourth consecutive day, at the lowest in a month.
XAG/USD recovered the 20-day moving average and is about to test the 200-day SMA that stands at $25.90. A recovery above $26.00 could clear the way to more gains over the short term. The positive tone will likely remain in place while above $25.40.
