Trend signals in Silver remain bullish despite the unconstructive price action into the end of July. The pullback off the late July highs is considered corrective - particularly as prices have recovered off support at the 50-day EMA, now at $36.999. It has been pierced, but a clear break of it is needed to strengthen a short-term bearish threat and allow for a deeper retracement. This would open $35.285, the Jun 24 low. For bulls, a resumption of gains would refocus attention on the next objective at $39.655 a Fibonacci projection.

STIR: Less Than 50bp Of Cuts Priced Through Dec After CPI
Hawkish adjustments in GBP STIRs following the firmer-than-expected CPI data.
- BoE-dated OIS 1-4bp less dovish as a result.
- BoE-dated OIS now shows just under 50bp of cuts through year-end after pricing as much as ~58bp of easing over that horizon in the wake of BoE Governor Bailey’s dovish weekend comments and a soft REC labour market release.
- Market still shows over 80% odds of a cut at the August MPC and fully discounts such a move through the September meeting.
- SONIA futures 0.5-5.0 lower. SFIZ5 has pierced but not cleanly broken its pre-existing July low, while SFIZ6 failed to pierce its own month-to-date low.
- Nothing of any real note from BoE Governor Bailey and Chancellor Reeves (outside of already leaked details) in the Mansion House addresses last night, which will leave focus on adjustments to the CPI release and any spill over from U.S. PPI data.
BoE Meeting | SONIA BoE-Dated OIS (%) | Difference vs. Current Effective SONIA Rate (bp) |
Aug-25 | 4.013 | -20.5 |
Sep-25 | 3.960 | -25.8 |

FOREX: USD Off NY Highs, UK CPI Firm
The broader USD (BBDXY) ticked lower overnight/in early London trade, after registering a fresh July high in the wake of yesterday’s U.S. CPI data.
- GBP benefits from firmer-than-expected UK CPI data (detailed in recent bullets) in early London trade. Reclaiming 1.3400. The pair breached and closed below trendline support on Tuesday, affirming the short-term bearish trend. Key short-term support comes in at yesterday’s low (1.3371). GBP STIR & gilt opens now eyed.
- EUR/USD traded through 1.1600 in late NY trade, before retaking the figure, last ~1.1620. The corrective bearish cycle within the longer running bullish theme has extended, with initial support and resistance now defined at 1.1593 & 1.1730. The EU’s multi-year Budget and fallout from yesterday’s French fiscal announcements eyed today.
- USD/JPY topped out at 149.18 in Tokyo trade, before moving back towards 148.70. Fresh bullish extension would target the 50% retracement of the Jan 10-Apr 22 bear leg (149.38). Japanese long end yields are lower, although the bearish steepening theme remains intact multi-month.
- U.S. PPI dominates the macro calendar during the remainder of the day, coming on the heels of CPI data that started to show feedthrough from the President trump’s tariffs.
- Elsewhere, a raft of Fedspeak will come via Williams, Barr, Hammack, Bostic & Barkin.
