Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD rally as buyers reclaim the 200-DMA

Silver prices sharply rise to $23.40, up 1.47%, following a soft US inflation report fueling expectations of a pause in Fed rate hikes.
The metal tests the 200-day moving average at $23.26, potentially extending gains towards $24.00 if the bullish momentum sustains.
A failure at the 200-DMA could trigger a pullback towards the 20-DMA at $22.89 and the 50-DMA at $22.64.

Silver price climbs on Wednesday, following last Tuesday’s soft US inflation report, which sent US Treasury bond yields plummeting on expectations the US Federal Reserve is done hiking rates. Hence, the XAG/USD advances sharply, reaching key resistance levels like the 200-day moving average (DMA) at $23.26. If Silver bulls hold price above the latter, the uptrend would likely continue toward year’s end, as buyers target $24.00. The XAG/USD is trading at $23.40, up 1.47%.

From a daily standpoint, the grey metal is neutrally biased, though about to shift neutral-upwards if buyers reclaim the latest cycle high seen at $23.69, October 20 daily high. Upside risks remain above that level, with a seven-month-old resistance trendline at $23.80-90, before challenging $24.00 a troy ounce.

On the other hand, if XAG/USD couldn’t remain above the 200-DMA, that could exacerbate a pullback toward the 20-DMA at $22.89, before sliding to the 50-DMA at $22.64 before challenging the November 13 swing low of $21.88.

EUR/USD flirts with three-day lows near 1.1570

EUR/USD resumes its march south on Thursday, revisting the 1.1570 region, or three-day lows, ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The intense sell-off in the pair comes in response to the solid performance of the US Dollar amid the still unresolved crisis in the Middle East. Moving forward, investors are expected to shift their focus to the release of the US NFP on Friday.

GBP/USD stays offered near 1.3340

GBP/USD fades Wednesday’s uptick and trades with decent losses in the 1.3340 zone in the latter part of Thursday’s session. Cable’s weakness, alongside the rest of the risk complex, follows the strong performance of the Greenback amid intense geopolitical jitters.

Gold: further weakness could challenge $5,000

Gold comes under fresh selling pressure on Thursday, slipping back below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce. Persistent strength in the US Dollar (USD) is preventing the yellow metal from building a meaningful recovery, even as markets remain risk-averse amid the deepening conflict in the Middle East.

XRP rises as crypto market steadies despite Middle East war

Ripple (XRP) continues to demonstrate notable resilience as the cryptocurrency market navigates the persistent war in the Middle East after the United States (US) and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday.

Two PMIs, two Chinas

China’s economic data are often treated with a degree of caution by global investors. The challenge is not necessarily that the numbers are incorrect, but that they can describe very different parts of a vast and complex economy. Nowhere is that more evident than in China’s PMIs.
