February 4th - The pound rose to its strongest level in five months against the euro ahead of the Bank of Englands interest rate decision on Thursday. The market widely expects the Bank of England to keep interest rates unchanged. Lee Hardman of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group stated in a report that recent data showing a strengthening UK economy has prompted market participants to postpone their expectations for the next rate cut. "In the absence of immediate triggers for further rate cuts, the Bank of England is likely to remain cautious about further rate cuts at the beginning of this year."On February 4th, Innovent Biologics announced that in 2025, the company achieved total product revenue of approximately RMB 11.9 billion, maintaining a strong growth momentum of approximately 45% year-on-year. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company achieved total product revenue of approximately RMB 3.3 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of over 60%.February 4th - Holger Schmieding of Berenberg Bank stated in a report that the European Central Bank (ECB) may raise key interest rates starting in mid-2027, with economic growth this year expected to be slightly above the long-term trend of 1.2%. Following projected growth of 1.3% this year, Eurozone economic growth is expected to accelerate to a cyclical peak of 1.5% in 2027, primarily driven by the gradual effects of German fiscal stimulus measures. This will boost German business and consumer confidence and, to a lesser extent, benefit some of its neighboring countries. Against this backdrop, the ECB could raise key interest rates to a neutral level of approximately 3% by early 2028, allowing economic growth to fall back to near its trend rate in 2028.The US January ADP employment figures will be released as scheduled tonight at 9:15 PM, providing the market with the latest clues about the US job market.

Gold Price Prediction: XAU/USD declines near $1,750 as risk aversion anticipates NFP data release

During Tuesday's opening European session, the gold price (XAU/USD) deepens its retreat from a nearly three-month-old resistance line, falling below $1,773. In spite of this, the precious metal exhibits a five-day rise around the greatest levels since July 5.

 

The metal's early-day rally may have been influenced by a broad dollar decline and Treasury rates. The XAU/USD exchange rate afterwards looked to have been influenced by China-related news and rising worries of an economic downturn.

 

Nonetheless, the visit of US House Secretary Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan and the probable difficulties for Chinese chipmakers as a result of the U.S. consideration of banning supplies of American chipmaking equipment further weigh on market mood. Similarly, a Chinese media story may indicate that the dragon country is prepared for a military exercise in Bohai, South China Sea.

 

In addition, Bloomberg's report that Beijing's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has no fixed limits tends to dampen the market's risk appetite. People acquainted with the situation were quoted in the press as saying, "China's top leaders instructed government officials last week that this year's economic growth objective of "about 5.5 percent" should serve as guideline rather than a mandatory aim."

 

It should be emphasized that China is one of the world's largest users of gold, and that bad news stories about the country might impact on gold prices.

 

Elsewhere, the recently poor US PMIs mirrored last week's US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the second quarter to illustrate economic anxiety. Fed Chair Jerome Powell's veiled warnings that the hawks are losing steam might also dampen sentiment.

 

As a reflection of market mood, equities in the Asia-Pacific region and US stock futures see modest losses. However, the US 10-year bond yield decreases 5.5 basis points (bps) to 2.55 percent at the latest, threatening the gold bears via the weakening US dollar. In spite of this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) reestablished the monthly minimum before rebounding from 105.00.

 

The news concerning China and the recession, as well as the remarks of Chicago Fed President Charles L. Evans and Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, will be crucial for intraday gold dealers in the future.
