Silver Hits New Yearly High Amid Global Uncertainty

Silver (XAG/USD) continued its bullish momentum on Friday, reaching a new 2025 high above $37.60, and appears poised to test the next major psychological resistance at $38.00. This marks a 30%+ gain year to date, positioning Silver as one of the best-performing commodities in 2025.

Tariff Tensions Drive Safe-Haven Buying

Rising geopolitical and trade uncertainty—particularly following US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff threats—has triggered broad-based risk aversion. As investors exit equities, safe-haven assets like Silver and Gold are drawing strong inflows.

The metal’s dual role as a safe-haven and industrial commodity adds further strength to its rally, especially amid Fed rate cut expectations and a weaker US Dollar (USD).

Key Technical Levels:

• Current Price: $37.65
• Resistance: $38.00
• Support: $37.00 / $36.20
• Breakout Zone: Above February 2012 peak at $37.49

Market Drivers to Watch:

• Further US tariff announcements
• USD Index (DXY) movement
• Upcoming US inflation data
• Fed rate cut speculation

“Silver's safe-haven appeal continues to shine amid persistent trade tensions, weaker USD, and dovish Fed expectations,” analysts note.
