Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD dip amid rising US yields, the 200-DMA eyed

Silver price loses some territory for the second time in the week, down more than 0.50%.
High US Treasury bond yields and XAG/USD’s failure to climb above $24.00 would pave the way for a pullback.
If XAG/USD retraces past the 200-DMA, sellers target $22.70.

Silver price reversed its course on Wednesday, registering decent losses of more than 0.40% as US Treasury bond yields advance due to American households’ upward reviewed inflation expectations for one year. Consequently, the US 10-year Treasury bond yield rose, a headwind for the grey metal, which trades at $23.57 after reaching a high of $23.94.

From a daily chart standpoint, the XAG/USD is neutral to upward biased, though, for the last three days, buyers had failed to crack the two-month high reached on November 17 at $24.14. Once that level is surrendered, the next stop would be the August 30 high at $25.00, followed by the July 19 at $25.23.

On the other hand, XAG/USD’s failure at $24.00 for the fifth time could open the door for further losses. The first support would be the 200-day moving average (DMA) at $23.30, followed by the 20-DMA at $23.03. A breach of the latter, Silver would continue diving toward the 50-DMA at $22.71.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

After briefly challenging its key 200-day SMA near 1.3440, GBP/USD now manages to regain some balance and revisit the 1.3460 zone on Friday. Cable’s pullback comes as the selling pressure on the Greenback gathers traction, reigniting some recovery in the risk-linked space.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The move higher continues to draw support from lingering geopolitical tensions and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US trade policy, both of which are keeping safe-haven demand firmly in play.
