GFX Morning FX Commentary

Good Morning

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.1060-1.1130

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.4300-1.4360

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.8000-1.8060

The US Dollar is marginally stronger this morning as the prospects of US interest rate hikes early in 2015 continue to push the Greenback higher, the big movers overnight where the Aussie Dollar and the Swedish Krona. In Australia the Dollar fell below the .9000 cent level for the first time since March, weak data out of China pushed the Aussie lower and in Sweden yesterday's National election produced a minority parliament with the anti-immigration Social Democrat party picking up increased support.

The Canadian Dollar is at its weakest level since the first quarter as USD.CAD gets set to test the 1.1100 level, the Loonie also lost some strength against the Euro and Sterling as both of those currencies were quiet overnight.

Up today we have data out of the US including capacity Utilization, Empire Manufacturing and  Industrial Production so we should have a busy morning . Later in the week we get lots of inflation data out of Canada and the US  and the Scottish independence vote on Wednesday. In addition the highlight of the week will be Thursday when the Federal Reserve announces on interest rates, markets will be looking for further confirmation of interest rate hike sin 2015. I would expect volatility to hold in and we should see a test of 1.1100 at some point this week if not today.

Have a great week
Mike
