XAG/USD bounced off the weekly lows below the 20-day EMA and reclaimed $25.00.
A sour sentiment, and falling US T-bond yields, triggered flows to XAG.

Silver price advanced late in the North American session, gaining more than 1%, as US Treasury bond yields dropped. Consequently, a softer US Dollar (USD) increased flows toward the white metal amidst a risk-off impulse. The XAG/USD is trading at $25.28 after hitting a low of $24.58.

XAG/USD Price Analysis

The XAG/USD daily chart shows the white metal edged toward its May high at $25.90 on Monday before reversing its course and closing below the $25.00 figure, a tick above the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Even though the Silver price was headed to continue to fall, it jumped off the daily low of $24.58, $0.30 below the 20-day EMA, and climbed to the bottom of an upslope support trendline drawn from March 2023 lows.

If XAG/USD buyers reclaim $25.50, that could pave the way to May’s high before challenging the YTD high at $26.08.

Conversely, if sellers stepped in around resistance at $25.50, it could exacerbate a test of the $25.00 mark before dropping to the 20-day EMA. Once cleared, the next support in play would be the February 2 high at $24.63.

EUR/USD meets initial support around 1.1800

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, although it has managed to reverse the initial strong pullback toward the 1.1800 region and regain some balance, hovering around the 1.1850 zone as the NA session draws to a close on Tuesday. Moving forward, market participants will now shift their attention to the release of the FOMC Minutes and US hard data on Wednesday.

GBP/USD bounces off lows, retargets 1.3550

After bottoming out just below the 1.3500 yardstick, GBP/USD now gathers some fresh bids and advances to the 1.3530-1.3540 band in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Cable’s recovery comes as the Greenback surrenders part of its advance, although it keeps the bullish bias well in place for the day.

Gold bounces back toward $4,900, looks to FOMC Minutes

Gold is attempting a bounce from the $4,850 level, having touched a one-week low on Tuesday. Signs of progress in US–Iran talks dented demand for the traditional safe-haven bullion, weighing on Gold in early trades. However, rising bets for more Fed rate cuts keep the US Dollar bulls on the defensive and act as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal. Traders now seem reluctant ahead of the FOMC Minutes, which would offer cues about the Fed's rate-cut path and provide some meaningful impetus.
