February 5th - Michael Pfister of Commerzbank stated in a report that if the Bank of England keeps interest rates unchanged in its policy decision but simultaneously raises market expectations for future rate cuts, the pound could face further declines. The market anticipates a 7-2 vote from the Bank of England to hold rates steady. Pfister said, "If the vote is more divided than expected, the market is likely to bet on a rate cut in advance, which would weaken the pound." The Bank of England will also release its first economic forecasts since the UK budget in November last year. Pfister indicated that these forecasts could pave the way for larger rate cuts.A Reuters poll predicts the Canadian dollar will rise 1.3% to 1.35 against the US dollar over the next 12 months and fall 0.9% to 1.38 over the next three months (both unchanged from the January poll).Tata Motors reported a loss of 34.9 billion rupees in the third quarter, compared with a profit of 54.1 billion rupees in the same period last year.February 5th - Eurozone retail sales fell more than expected in December, indicating that the recovery in household spending, expected to support the economy in 2026, remains fragile. Eurostat data released on Thursday showed that retail sales in the final month of 2025 fell 0.5% month-on-month, while Novembers figure was revised downward to a 0.1% increase. Non-food sales led the decline ahead of the key holiday season, while food and beverage sales rose slightly. Sales declined month-on-month in France, Italy, and Spain, while Germany saw a slight increase. However, data released by the European Commission at the end of last month showed that Eurozone consumer confidence improved in January, and economists expect economic growth this year to be mainly driven by domestic demand, especially household spending. Eurostat stated that, on an annual basis, retail sales in December increased by 1.3% year-on-year.The European Commission stated that Apples advertising and Maps services should not be included in the "core platform" category for enterprise users as defined in its Digital Markets Act.

Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD flirts with the daily high but upside potential appears restricted

On the opening day of the new week, silver gains ground and moves away from a two-week low of $18.00, which was reached on Friday. The white metal maintains its bid tone heading into the European session and is currently flirting with the daily high in the zone between $18.50 and $18.45.

 

The XAG/USD appears to have ended a six-day losing run and halted its recent steep rejection decline from the 200-day exponential moving average, or its highest level since late June. The area between $18.90 and $19.00 should serve as a pivot point for intraday traders for any future upward movement.

 

Continued strength beyond may spark a short-covering rally and boost the XAG/USD back to the supply zone between $19.70 and $19.80. In the meantime, oscillators on the daily chart have just begun to move into negative territory. In addition, bearish technical signs on the 4-hour chart call for caution before positioning for additional gains.

 

However, sustained buying above the $20.00 psychological level will neutralize any near-term bearish view and pave the door for a further near-term uptrend. The XAG/USD could next ascend to the $20.50 intermediate resistance level en way to the $21.00 round number and the 200-day EMA, which is now located in the $21.15 area.

 

In contrast, the $18.00 level appears to have arisen as immediate strong support, which, if decisively breached, will be viewed as a new trigger for bearish traders. The subsequent key support is located at the yearly low, in the vicinity of the $17.55 region recorded in September, below which the XAG/USD might test the $17.00 round number.
