Silver (XAG/USD) kicks off the week on a strong footing, with spot prices extending their rally for a fifth consecutive session, breaking above the $40.00 mark to hit fresh 14-year highs — levels last seen in September 2011. At the time of writing, the metal is consolidating around $40.70, as thin trading conditions prevail due to the US Labor Day holiday.
The sustained rally in Silver comes on the back of broad US Dollar (USD) weakness and firm expectations of a Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut in September, which continues to support demand for non-yielding assets. Market sentiment remains firmly bullish despite overbought technical signals, as traders weigh safe-haven demand amid mounting global uncertainty. A federal appeals court ruling on Friday declared most of US President Donald Trump’s global tariffs unlawful, casting fresh doubt over the future of US trade policy. Concerns over the Fed’s independence are also adding to market anxiety, further supporting the case for precious metals.
