Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD prints slight gains yet remains below $23.00

Silver rises slightly to $22.99, supported by lower US Treasury yields and a weaker Dollar, boosting demand for precious metals.
Facing technical resistance at $23.13-15, with the 200-DMA at $23.28 posing a major obstacle for further gains.
Downside risk if silver breaches $23, eyeing February's lows; success above immediate resistances critical for upward momentum.

Silver clings to minuscule gains late in the New York session on Tuesday, up 0.04%, and is trading at around $22.99 a troy ounce. Falling US Treasury bond yields and the Greenback are the main catalysts for the rise in precious metals, while technical resistance levels capped the XAG/USD upside.

XAG/USD rose briefly toward the confluence of the 50 and 100-day Moving Averages (DMAs) at around $23.13-15 during Tuesday’s session but failed to challenge the 200-DMA at $23.28. As a ‘dark cloud cover’ looms, bears dragged Silver’s price below $23.00, which could open the door to test the February 18 low of $22.80. A breach of the latter will accelerate the downtrend towards the February 15 low of $22.35, followed by the $22.00 figure.

Conversely, if buyers reclaim $23.15, that will open the door for further gains. The first resistance would be the 200-DMA at $23.28, followed by the current year-to-date (YTD) high at $24.09.

AUD/USD eyes 0.7150 barrier nine-day EMA

AUD/USD inches higher after registering modest losses in the previous day, trading around 0.7130 during the Asian hours.

USD/JPY trades below 160.00 intervention threshold; bullish bias intact

Gold defends 200-day SMA, rises toward $4,500

Gold is attempting a tepid recovery toward $4,500 on Thursday, as renewed optimism in the Mideast geopolitical front calms market nerves. This cautious optimism across Asian markets weighs on Oil prices, and diminishes the US Dollar’s safe-haven appeal, helping Gold stage a decent comeback from the weekly low of $4,424.

Kevin Warsh takes the Fed helm: What it means for the US Dollar

The Federal Reserve moves away from the highly predictable "forward guidance" model of the Jerome Powell era to a new “Kevin Warsh environment”, characterized by less communication, more policy surprises, and an increased focus on the Fed's complex balance sheet.

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.
