Source Fxstreet
  • Silver's nearly 1% gain drives it to around $24.40, as market bets on a June Federal Reserve rate cut.
  • Technical indicators bullish as silver surpasses 50, 100, and 200-day DMAs, eyeing December highs.
  • Despite bullish trend, potential pullback risks exist if silver dips below $24.50, with supports at $24.00 and $23.57.

Silver price advances during Thursday’s session, gains almost 1% and stays above the $24.00 figure as investors expect a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June. Therefore, XAG/USD exchanges hands at $24.40.
