XAG/USD surges sharply in Monday’s session, up by more than 6% on investors flying to safety. US Treasury bond yields collapsed due to regional bank failure in the United States (US) blamed on higher rates. Therefore, US bond yields collapsing are a tailwind for the white metal prices. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD is trading at $21.76.

XAG/USD Price Action

The white metal is testing solid resistance in the confluence of the 200, 50, and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), each at $21.79, $21.85, and $21.87, respectively. In addition, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) broke above the 50 neutral lines, portraying buying pressure strength. The Rate of Change (RoC) suggests buyers moved aggressively, which could open the door for a mean reversion move. Therefore, traders should be careful.

With XAG/USD breaking above the 200-day EMA would pave the way toward $22.00 a troy ounce. Once done, the XAG/USD next resistance would be $23.00 before testing the February 23 high at $23.59.

In an alternate scenario, the XAG/USD first support would be the 20-day EMA at $21.16. A breach of the latter will expose the $21.00 figure, followed by the March 13 low of $20.50, before falling to YTD lows at $19.92.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
