Silver price remains firm in the session but could not reclaim the May 26 daily low; previous support turned resistance and also below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Therefore, the XAG/USD turned bearish from a technical perspective. The XAG/USD is trading at $22.32, a gain of 0.50%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver is downward biased but must break support at the March 21 daily low of $22.14 on its way toward dropping below the $22.00 figure. Even though the XAG/USD fell to a new three-month high, cheered by sellers, the XAG/USD could remain trading sideways, within the $22.10/$22.69 area without a catalyst.

If XAG/USD slumps below $22.00, the next support will lie at the March 16 low of $21.46 before exposing the $21.00 figure and the November 28 daily low at $20.87. On the flip side, the XAG/USD stays above $22.00. The next resistance would be the May 26 low-turned resistance at $22.68, followed by the 200-day EMA at $22.94 ahead of challenging $23.00.

From an oscillator point of view, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows signs of bearishness, while the three-day Rate of Change (RoC) portrays sellers losing some momentum but remaining in charge.

AUD/USD keeps range near 0.6950 after Australian trade data

AUD/USD consolidates near a two-month low, trading around mid-0.6900s in the Asian session on Thursday amid a bullish US Dollar. The US PCE data tempered October Fed hike bets, though oil-driven inflation fears remain supportive of elevated US bond yields. Meanwhile, Australia's trade surplus shrank sharply in August to AUD495M, having limited impact on the Aussie Dollar and the pair.

USD/JPY sits at weekly top above 158.00 as bullish USD counters intervention risks

USD/JPY is sitting at the top end of its weekly range above 158.00 in the Asian session on Thursday. Despite the softer US PCE data, oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields elevated near multi-year highs. Moreover, the US-Iran standoff benefits the safe-haven US Dollar and supports the pair. Broad US Dollar strength counters hawkish BoJ expectations and Japanese intervention risks.

Gold struggles as rising US Treasury yields outweigh dovish Fed repricing

Gold treads water on Thursday as a stronger US Dollar and soaring US Treasury yields limit the upside. At the time of writing, XAU/USD trades around $4,167, up 0.26% on the day, as the precious metal struggles to build on its early recovery.

Markets are pricing a Fed pause. The jobs data says the hike is still coming

The market has rapidly changed its mind about the Fed. Only a week ago, investors saw an October interest-rate hike as the most likely outcome. However, softer inflation and cautious comments from policymakers have since turned a pause into the dominant scenario.

Markets are pricing a Fed pause. The jobs data says the hike is still coming

The market has rapidly changed its mind about the Federal Reserve (Fed). Only a week ago, investors saw an October interest-rate hike as the most likely outcome. However, softer inflation and cautious comments from policymakers have since turned a pause into the dominant scenario. Yet beneath that dramatic repricing, the US economy is sending a considerably less dovish message.
