Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD rallies past $47.50 amid US Dollar's weakness

Silver hits fresh daily highs above $47.50 after bouncing from lows right below $46.00.

Precious metals are rallying on Friday, as the US Dollar weakens across the board.

XAG/USD's bulls targeting the 4-year highs at $48.03

Silver (XAG/USD) has resumed its bullish trend on Friday to retrace most of Thursday's losses, supported by a softer US Dollar. XAG/USD has reached session highs above $47.50 after bouncing at $46.00 on Thursday, and is drawing closer to the long-term highs, in the area of $48.00.

Precious metals are rallying, as investors shrug off the hawkish comments from Fed's Logan, putting further rate cuts into question. The downbeat employment figures seen earlier this week and the US Government shutdown have boosted investors' expectations that the US central bank will cut rates in October, and, highly likely, also in December
