Silver is trading closer to its recent lows. A bullish theme however, remains intact and the latest pullback that started Apr 25, is likely a correction. Key short-term support has been defined at $31.668, the May 1 low. A break of this level would signal scope for a deeper retracement and open $30.915, the Apr 11 low. For bulls, resistance to watch is $33.686, the Apr 25 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.

First resistance to watch is 1.4028, the Apr 3 low.

AUDUSD maintains a short-term bullish tone following a strong reversal last week. The pair has breached the 50-day EMA, at 0.6267. The break of this average strengthens the reversal and signals scope for a continuation higher, towards 0.6389, the Apr 3 high and the next important resistance. For bears, a resumption of weakness would refocus attention on 0.5915, the Apr 9 low and bear trigger. First support lies at 0.6232, the 20-day EMA.
