Silver jumps 4% even as US dollar strengthens 📈

Precious metals are posting a strong session today, with gold up 1.6% and silver gaining more than 4%. This is occurring despite a strengthening US dollar, which in theory should weigh on metals prices. Additionally, solid US data releases from the housing market and durable goods orders failed to halt today’s rebound in precious metals.

SILVER and GOLD charts (D1 timeframe)

Silver is currently trading between its 50- and 200-session exponential moving averages. A breakout above USD 82 per ounce could open the way for more sustained upside and a clear return of positive market sentiment.

Gold appears to be heading toward a test of the USD 5,000 per ounce area. A decisive break above this level would increase the likelihood of a sentiment shift and a renewed surge in buying activity. The metal remains relatively close to the EMA50 (orange line); in recent weeks, gold has already rebounded twice after dipping below this average, which has acted as strong momentum support since August.
