GFX Morning FX Commentary Ocotber 28th, 2013

Good Morning,

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.0400-1.0470

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.4400-1.4475

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.6900-1.6975

The US Dollar starts the last trading week in October unchanged for the most part as a major hurricane style storm has pretty much brought the financial markets in London to a standstill. Hurricane style winds have closed the airports and stopped the trains from running preventing staff from getting into the city centre. Sterling did get another boost overnight as it reached a four-week high after a report showed UK housing prices increased for a ninth straight month, so once again we see strong reports coming out of the  UK. The Dollar is stronger against the Yen as the Deputy Governor of the Bank of Japan indicated that the Central Bank is fully committed to its fiscal program.

In a quiet overnight market the Canadian Dollar is unchanged against the US Dollar from its Friday close but once again is weaker against both the Euro and Sterling, this trend should continue for the next little while.

With only housing data out of the US today, I would expect a very quiet day for the Loonie, we still favour a push up towards 1.0500 with any pullbacks limited to the 1.0400 level.  US Dollar buyers should be ready if we dip below 1.0425 today, with the weakness in the Loonie at the moment I just don’t see a situation where we will have prolonged bouts of Canadian Dollar strength in the next few days. The week should get busier as we get some important economic data as the week goes on.

Have a great week
Mike
