Silver (XAG/USD) is currently consolidating its recent gains around the $61.70 level, following a two-day rally that saw prices approach but fail to surpass the $63.00 mark, according to FX Street. This pullback comes after nearly a 7% increase over the last two days.

FX Street reports that the recent strength in silver prices has been supported by a weakening US Dollar and falling oil prices, both of which have contributed to the metal’s appeal as an alternative asset. The pairing is trimming some of its gains on Thursday but remains well above previous levels.

For Japanese investors, silver’s price movements are notable amid ongoing shifts in global commodity markets and currency fluctuations, impacting portfolio diversification strategies in FX and precious metals sectors.
