Silver prices sank sharply on Tuesday amid falling US Treasury bond yields and a firm US dollar. The grey metal dropped more than 4% at the time of writing and trades at $29.48 after the XAG/USD hit a daily high of $30.88.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The XAG/USD fell below the latest cycle high seen on April 12 at $29.79, opening the door for deeper losses. Traders had witnessed the confirmation of a ‘double top’ chart pattern, opening the door to test key support levels on the way south.

The first one would be the psychological $29.00. A breach of the latter will expose previous key resistance levels that turned support, like the May 18, 2021, high of $28.74, followed by the June 10, 2021, high of $28.34. Up next would be the ‘double top’ objective at $27.80.

USD/JPY hovers near the 160.00 intervention threshold on Mideast tensions

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
