Silver price stays firm at around $25.20, consolidating for the third day in a row, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) gets out of the overbought territory. Therefore, the XAG/USD lost traction on its way toward $26.00 a troy ounce, but the uptrend stays in play. The XAG/USD is trading at $26.26, a gain of 0.11%.

XAG/USD Price Action

The XAG/USD is trading sideways after recovering from Wednesday’s dip toward $24.65. Even though it looks like a hammer, price action on Thursday was sideways as a classic doji emerged. As the RSI exited overbought conditions, its slope is aiming lower, meaning that sellers are gathering momentum. Meanwhile, the Rate of Change (RoC) portrays bulls jumping off the boat as buying pressure fades.

If XAG/USD remains above $25.00, in the near term, it will test the YTD high at $26.08. A breach of the latter will expose the $26.50 before the XAG/USD tests the last year’s high at $26.94, ahead of reaching $27.00.

On the other hand, the XAG/USD first support would be $25.00. Once broken, the following demand zone would be the April 19 low at $24.65, followed by the $24.00 psychological price level. A dip beyond this area will tumble Silver toward the 50-day EMA at $23.58.

GBP/USD declines as market caution lifts US Dollar

Gold nurses losses near $4,100 as Fed hike bets support USD

Gold recovers slightly from a fresh two-week low, near $4,070 touched during the Asian session on Wednesday, though it lacks follow-through. The US Dollar stands firm near its highest level since May 2025 amid firming expectations of a Fed rate hike, which, in turn, is seen undermining the non-yielding bullion. Furthermore, mixed US-Iran signals further favor the USD bulls.

Global strategy 3Q 2026

With the signing of a framework agreement and subsequent negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in June, the outlook for the third quarter is favorable. Oil prices have already fallen sharply, and futures are pricing in a further decline over the course of the year. This will ease the burden on consumers and reduce uncertainty among businesses, with positive effects on the economy.

"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.
