As shown on the XAG/USD chart, during the trading session on 26th September, the price of silver surpassed the previous 2024 high (set in July), reaching levels last seen in December 2012.
Key drivers of silver’s price include news related to the Federal Reserve’s policy:
→ Last month, when the Federal Reserve cut interest rates, it led to a rise in both gold and silver prices.
→ However, precious metal prices dipped slightly yesterday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell adjusted expectations regarding further rate cuts this year, stating that the Fed would not rush into making more reductions.

→ The price surge at the end of September caused the RSI indicator to form a bearish divergence, making silver vulnerable to a correction after hitting a historic high – which is what followed.
