The Canadian dollar is steady on Friday in what should be a busy day. In the European session, USD/CAD is trading at 1.3670, down 0.12%. Canada releases the August job report later today, with the markets braced for a decrease of 6,400 in employment. The US dollar has been on a tear against the major currencies since mid-July. The Canadian dollar has slumped,...
USD/CAD is trading quietly in Europe at 1.3651, up 0.06%. I expect to see stronger movement in the North American session, with the Bank of Canada making its rate announcement and the US releasing the ISM Services PMI which is expected to show little change. The Bank of Canada is virtually certain to hold rates at today's meeting, with just a 6% probability of a...
In my opinion GBP is building up for a big fall this year, and it has to start with a lower high. Oil prices are rising, and as much as the FED don't want this, it's happening, and this should be good for CAD. I can see a rising wedge pattern, we can see spinning tops forming and it looks like we're running out of steam, I believe we'll initially fall back to...
The Canadian dollar is showing limited movement on Friday. In the North American session, USD/CAD is trading at 1.3360, up 0.06%. Canadian and US job numbers were soft today, but the Canadian dollar's reaction has been muted. After a stellar job report in June, the July numbers were dreadful. Canada's economy shed 6,400 jobs in July, compared to a 59, 900 gain in...
I'm looking to buy again, I don't think we've seen the top, we're still miles off an ATH. With JPY still weak, Oil strong (which gives CAD strength), and a bullish engulfing candle on the 4hr (and a pinbar almost complete) I think we've had a 50% retracement of the last impulse and now back up. It would be great for this 4hr candle to close above the previous...
The Canadian dollar has posted strong gains in Wednesday's North American session. In the North American session, USD/CAD is trading at 1.3146, down 0.63%. On the economic calendar, it has been a busy day, with the Bank of Canada raising interest rates and US inflation falling lower than expected. The Bank of Canada raised rates by 0.25% on Wednesday, bringing...
The Canadian dollar is flat on Friday, trading at 1.3258 in the European session. Canada releases GDP for May later on Friday. The consensus stands at 0.2% m/m, which translates into 2.4% annualized, a respectable gain. If the GDP report beats the consensus, the Canadian dollar could post gains. Canada's economy showed strength in the first quarter, with a gain...
The Canadian dollar spiked and gained 50 points after Canada released the May inflation report but has pared these gains. USD/CAD is unchanged at 1.3158. Canada's inflation rate fell sharply in May to 3.4%, down from 4.4% in April. As expected, much of that decline was due to lower gasoline prices. Still, this is the lowest inflation rate since June 2021.The core...
The Canadian dollar continues to rally. USD/CAD is trading at 1.3328 in the North American session, down 0.22% on the day. The week wrapped up with Canada's May employment report, which usually is released at the same time as the US job data, but had the spotlight to itself today. The data was a disappointment. Canada's economy shed 17,300 jobs, all of which were...
Just noticed this interesting trendline going back to 2016 that's holding strong, coinciding with a retest of a midrange going back to 2015. Looks primed to head to the top of the range. From there we'll see if it begins a new range above this one.
Pretty simple play here. USDCAD tightly coiling up since Sept 2022. Higher lows. Looks like it wants to explode, even a surprise rate hike by the Bank of Canada wasn't enough to sweep the lows. Tight invalidation. US trudging ahead with rate hikes while the market is in disbelief and calling J Powell's bluff. But he's not bluffing. Canada has the bubbliest...
The Canadian dollar is unchanged, trading at 1.3400 in the North American session. The Bank of Canada meets later today, and the money markets are expecting another pause, which would leave the benchmark rate at 4.5%. The BoC's rate-tightening cycle has been on a "conditional pause", which is another way of saying that rate decisions are data-dependent,...
The USDCAD traded lower, since the start of June, reversing from the 1.3650 price level, now hovering along the 1.34 price level. Over the last couple of days, the USDCAD had been in a narrow downward range. The Bank of Canada (BoC) is due to announce its interest rate decision. With the current rates at 4.50%, there has been speculation that a surprise rate...

Fundamental Backdrop BOC monetary policy statement today, expected to maintain. Potential bearish pressure coming into USDCAD if BOC hikes. Technical Confluences Near term resistance level at 1.36374. Near term support level 1.33166. Idea We believe that the BOC will maintain interest rates and this will solidify the notion that USDCAD will...
Will the BoC deliver a hawkish outcome for CAD to run toward 1.33?
I'm liking AUDCAD longs for a few reasons. Technical wise we have broken structure and we have a fib at the 61.8 from the swing high to swing low.. Looking at everything from a fundamental standpoint, there is a lot of optimism around the Aussie gaining strength from China reopenings, as well as a Hawkish RBA. Canada on the other hand has decided to pause rates...
Fundamental Analysis Key points: For the fourth day in a row, USD/CAD has been under some selling pressure on Thursday. The USD is under pressure as a result of expectations for a pause in the Fed's rate-hike program. Despite expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is nearing the end of its rate-hiking cycle and turns out to be a key factor exerting...
