GFX Morning Commentay May 14th, 2013

Good Morning,

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.0100-1.0170

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.3120-1.3200

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.5470-1.5550

The US Dollar is stronger to start the day as the recent trend of a strong US Dollar continues. The Euro is a little weaker as the German Business Survey provided disappointing results, and the Pound has weakened for the fourth straight day despite some positive housing news of the UK. There was also talk yesterday from the Federal Reserve’s member Plosser that with inflation in check there is room for the Fed to increase stimulus, a move which would provide more stimulus to the Greenback. There is no evidence that this will happen any time soon but it is interesting to see if this line of thinking is prevalent in the Fed.

The Canadian Dollar is weaker on the back of the stronger US Dollar overnight, USD.CAD has moved back above the 1.0100 level. The Loonie continues to trade in tight ranges against the Greenback and as a result of that I am not expecting much activity for the currency pair today.

With little activity on the economic calendar look for the strong US Dollar trend to continue today and we could see a test of 1.0160.

Have a great day
Mike
