By Sagar Dua The USD/CAD pair is showing a slight decline during the morning session on February 6, consolidating near the 1.3700 level and the local highs recorded on January 27. Investors are closing part of their short positions toward the end of the week, locking in profits after the moderate strengthening of the US dollar across most market segments, while awaiting the Canadian labour market report due at 15:30 (GMT+2), which could significantly adjust expectations for the future direction of monetary policy. According to current forecasts, employment growth may amount to only 7.0 thousand, below the 8.2 thousand recorded in December, while average hourly wages are likely to remain unchanged at 3.7% year-on-year, signalling persistent inflationary risks. The unemployment rate is expected to remain stable at around 6.8%. Later, at 17:00 (GMT+2), attention will shift to January data for the Ivey PMI, reflecting business activity in the national manufacturing sector. Adjusted for seasonal factors, the index may continue its sharp decline from 51.9 points to 49.7 points, putting additional pressure on the Canadian dollar.
By Sagar Dua EUR/USD — The European currency is showing modest gains against the US dollar, consolidating near the 1.1800 level during the morning session as market participants assess the outcome of the European Central Bank (ECB) meeting. The regulator left its key parameters unchanged for the fifth consecutive time: the main refinancing rate at 2.15%, the marginal lending facility at 2.40%, and the deposit rate at 2.00%. In its official statement, policymakers emphasized that the updated assessment points to inflation stabilizing around the 2.0% target over the medium term, while the economy is demonstrating moderate resilience amid low unemployment (7.1% as of January) and a gradual increase in government spending.

Forex analysis helps traders figure out where a currency pair might move next and guides their trading decisions. It’s a daily tool for planning entries and exits, based on two main approaches. Fundamental analysis looks at the broader economy: growth, inflation, and especially central bank policy on interest rates. Technical analysis studies past price movements, chart patterns, and signals that tend to repeat over time. Together, these methods give traders a clearer picture of the market and improve decision-making.
