Silver price (XAG/USD) stays depressed around $23.55 as bears poke the monthly support line during early Thursday. It’s worth noting that the bright metal dropped the most in two weeks the previous day.

Given the metal’s sustained downside break of the previous support line from December 16 and the bearish MACD signals, the XAG/USD price is likely to break the immediate support line close to $23.50.

However, a two-week-old horizontal area comprising the 100-SMA, between $23.35 and $23.45, appears a tough nut to crack for the silver bears.

Should the commodity price breaks the $23.35 support, the odds of witnessing a slump to $23.00 can’t be ruled out.

Following that, the mid-month swing low of $22.55 and the monthly bottom surrounding $22.00 will gain the market’s attention.

Meanwhile, recovery moves may initially aim for the two-wee-old support-turned-resistance line near the $24.00 round figure before eyeing the double tops surrounding $24.30.

It should be noted, however, that the XAG/USD run-up beyond $24.30 won’t hesitate to poke the $25.00 round figure. Though, April’s top surrounding $26.25 could challenge the Silver buyers afterward.

Overall, the Silver price is likely to remain bearish but the quote’s further downside hinges on a $23.35 breakdown.

EUR/USD weakens below 1.1400 on stronger Dollar

EUR/USD adds to Monday’s losses and recedes below the 1.1400 support to clinch fresh 13-month lows in the latter part of Tuesday’s NA session. The pair’s marked sell-off comes on the back of the persistent move higher in th US Dollar, always propped up by rising bets of further tightening by the Fed.

Gold appears supported near $4,100 for now

Gold rapidly reverses Monday's bounce and is trading sharply lower on Tuesday. The yellow metal, however, manages well to keep business above the $4,100 mark per troy ounce despite a firmer US Dollar and expectations that the Fed will keep rates higher for longer.

"Rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic": UK's fiscal crisis outlasts another Prime Minister

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
