GFX Morning Commentary

Good Morning,

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.0790-1.0840

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.4510-1.4560

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.8320-1.8370

The US Dollar is marginally stronger this morning as the US Dollar index hit a six-week high on the expectation that the US economy is recovering and the US Federal Reserve will continue to cut back their stimulus program. The US GDP numbers tomorrow are expected to be strong so that is giving the Greenback a bit of an early boost

The big mover overnight was the New Zealand Dollar as that countries significant dairy industry indicated milk exports are falling. It is funny to see that the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is still talking about increasing interest rates while its close counterpart Australia is talking about cutting interest rates, it could be possible that we see Aussie and Kiwi trade at parity with each other, this would be a first for the FX markets if it comes to pass.

The Canadian Dollar is unchanged this morning as it settles into it new levels and with nothing on the Canadian calendar today I don’t expect much of a breakout either side, the Canadian market should remain quiet ahead of tomorrow’s US GDP report and the US Federal Reserve announcement.

Up today we do get US Consumer Confidence so we could see a little movement if the release surprises but overall I don’t think it will have too much of an effect.

Have a great day
Mike
