Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bulls take a respite after failing to crack $25.00

Silver price rallies more than 1.10% on Tuesday, courtesy of the Fed’s dovish comments.
Buyers remain in charge but must reclaim $25.00 so they can test year-to-date (YTD) figures.
If sellers keep the spot price below $25.00, that will sponsor a leg-down to $24.00.

Silver price refreshed three-month highs shy of the $25.00 figure and retreated to the $24.80s area after dovish remarks by a Federal Reserve (Fed) official weakened the Greenback. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD is trading at $24.88, gaining more than 1%

XAG/USD has extended its gains for the fourth straight session, though it failed to climb above the $25.00 figure, which would likely sponsor a leg up towards the July 19 high at $25.23. Once those two ceiling levels are conquered, buyers would need to decisively break the $26.00 mark, ahead of testing the May 5 high at $26.13.

On the downside, if Silver sellers keep the grey metal from printing a daily close above $25.00, expect a leg-down, initially to test the waters at around the November 27 daily low of $24.27. Prices could potentially consolidate around that area, but further support lies at around the November 17 high at $24.14, ahead of the $24.00 mark.

EUR/USD weakens below 1.1700 as Middle East tensions drive US Dollar strength

The EUR/USD pair trades with mild losses around 1.1685, the lowest since late January, during the early Asian session on Tuesday. The US Dollar gathers strength against the Euro as escalating tensions in the Middle East boost safe-haven currencies. The preliminary reading of the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices from the Eurozone will be published later on Tuesday.

GBP/USD hits new yearly lows near 1.3300

GBP/USD adds to the recent bearish tone, approaching to the key 1.3300 support to reach fresh YTD troughs against the backdrop of the robust performance of the US Dollar. Indeed, Cable’s decline comes amid the firm demand for the safe-haven space in the wake of the US and Israel attacks to Iran.

Gold clings to gains as US-Iran conflict continues to underpin safe-haven assets

Gold retains positive bias for the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday as rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to underpin safe-haven assets. However, a bullish US Dollar could keep the bullion below its highest level since late January, set on Monday, warranting caution before positioning for any further appreciation.
