Silver (XAG/USD) enters a bullish consolidation phase and oscillates in a narrow trading band just above mid-$24.00s through the first half of the European session on Tuesday. The white metal, however, remains well within the striking distance of a near three-month high touched on Monday and seems poised to prolong its recent strong appreciating move witnessed over the past two weeks or so.

From a technical perspective, the recent breakout through the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and a subsequent strength beyond the $24.00 round figure was seen as a fresh trigger for bullish traders. Furthermore, oscillators on the daily chart are holding comfortably in the positive territory and are still far from being in the overbought zone, validating the near-term positive outlook for the XAG/USD.

Hence, any meaningful downside might still be seen as a buying opportunity near the aforementioned resistance breakpoint now turned support near the $24.00 mark. This should help limit the downside for the XAG/USD near the 200-day SMA, currently pegged near the $23.35-$23.30 region. That said, a convincing break below might prompt some technical selling and pave the way for some meaningful downside.

The XAG/USD, meanwhile, still seems poised to make a fresh attempt to conquer the $25.00 psychological mark. The next relevant hurdle is pegged near the $25.25 region, or the YTD peak touched in May, which if cleared decisively will reaffirm the bullish bias. The white metal might then accelerate the positive momentum towards reclaiming the $26.00 round figure for the first time since April 2022.

AUD/USD turns south toward 0.6900 as USD firms up

AUD/USD sees fresh selling and drops toward 0.6900 in late Asian trading on Monday, as renewed US Dollar strength weighs on the pair amid lingering Middle East and Russia-Ukraine geopolitical tensions. Focus remains on Oil prices, Treasury bond yields, and RBA expectations for fresh trading impetus in the major.

USD/JPY retakes 158.00 amid hawkish BoJ bets, firmer USD

USD/JPY erases losses and retakes 158.00 in the Asian session on Monday, trading within a one-week-old range. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to underpin the US Dollar, despite fading Fed rate hike hopes, supporting the pair's rebound. However, further upside could be capped by hawkish BoJ expectations and looming intervention risks that could support the Japanese Yen.

Gold flat lines below $4,150 as rallying USD offsets receding Fed hike bets

Gold extends its consolidative price move, trading below $4,150 heading into the European session, and moves within a range held over the past week or so. As investors look past Friday's disappointing US jobs data, the US Dollar regains strong positive traction and rallies to a fresh high since April 2025. This is seen as a key factor capping the commodity, though receding bets for an October rate hike by the Federal Reserve help limit the downside.

BNB: Derivatives back bullish upside continuation

BNB, formerly known as Binance Coin, edges lower trading around $790 on Monday after posting three consecutive weekly gains. Rising Open Interest and positive funding rates suggest that bullish positioning is strengthening in the derivatives market.

Consensus points to a marginal uptick to 55.7 from August’s 55.4. If confirmed, the reading is unlikely to significantly dent the current sector’s resilience and confidence in the broader economy.

The Euro is near a one-year low: Inflation could trigger its rebound, not its fall

EUR/USD has fallen to its lowest level since May 2025. The pair hit 1.1312 on Wednesday and trades well below the January peak of 1.2082. The decline reflects a powerful combination of US Dollar strength, geopolitical uncertainty and renewed concerns about Europe's exposure to higher energy prices.
