GFX Morniung FX Commentary January 21st, 2013

Good Morning,

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is .9890-.9960

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.3200-1.3260

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1,5750-1.5820

The US Dollar is unchanged from it close Friday as the holiday in the US has slowed financial markets trading. In what activity that there was the Japanese Yen was weaker as that country's Central Bank began a two day policy meeting where they are under pressure to produce increased stimulus measures to  weaken the value of the Yen and in the UK the Pound stopped its slide as housing prices rose for the first time in three months.

The Canadian dollar had a very quiet overnight session and was so far not able to recover from its weakness against the Greenback on Friday.

With the US markets closed for the Martin Luther King holiday I would not expect much movement for the Loonie today, but as trading conditions will be thin I will be on guard for any sudden movements, some of the biggest moves that I have witnessed for the Canadian Dollar in my 30 year career have been on US Holiday's.

Have a great week
Mike
