Silver price (XAG/USD) attempts to snap its five-day winning streak, retreating from the year-to-date highs and trading near $27.00 per troy ounce during early European hours on Thursday. The price of the Silver received upward support as the US Dollar lost ground due to the dovish sentiment surrounding the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rates trajectory.

Silver price could find key support around the major level of $26.50, following the psychological level of $26.00, in conjunction with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $25.94. A break below this level could exert downward pressure on navigating the region around a major support level at $25.50 and the 14-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $25.43.

Technical analysis suggests a bullish confirmation for the Silver price. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 mark, indicating strength in buying momentum. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a divergence above the signal line and remains above the centerline.

On the upside, the year-to-date high of $27.33 could act as an immediate resistance, followed by the major level at $27.50. A breakthrough above the latter could lead the Silver price to explore the region around the psychological level of $28.00.

GBP/USD slides below 1.3250 after failing to break through 23.6% Fibo

The GBP/USD pair meets with a fresh supply during the Asian session on Wednesday and moves away from a nearly two-week high around the 1.3275 region, touched the previous day. Spot prices currently trade around the 1.3235 zone, down 0.20% for the day, as traders look to speeches from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh for a fresh impetus.

EUR/USD stays offered, breaks below 1.1400…again

EUR/USD adds to Tuesday’s slight losses and drops below the 1.1400 yardstick in the latter part of Wednesday’s NA session. The pair’s decline comes in response to the persistent recovery in the US Dollar, which seems to have met extra support following the cautious tone from Fed’s Warsh in his comments at the ECB Forum.

Gold recovers but sellers hold the grip

Gold keeps the bullish performance in place on Wednesday, although is now giving away part of its earlier advance past the $4,100 mark per troy ounce. The precious metal’s marked rebound comes despite the US Dollar’s bid bias, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and positive headlines from the Middle East.

Just like Fed, is BoJ’s independence under threat?

When talking about central bank independence, most of the focus has been on Donald Trump’s pressure on the Federal Reserve. But a similar story, a quieter one for now, seems to be happening on the other side of the Pacific: Japan’s government may be testing the Bank of Japan’s independence.
