GFX Morning FX Commentary

Good Morning,

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.1250-1.1320

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.4120-1.4170

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.7660-1.7710

The US Dollar is for the most part unchanged from last night Toronto close. The Japanese Yen traded a bit stronger as Prime Minister Abe called for an election to elect a new parliament and announced an 18-month delay on his proposed sales tax increase. I guess he is looking for a renewed mandate before he announces his latest stimulus measures. In the UK the Pound drops again as it fell to its weakest level in a month against the Euro as inflation data was subdued, as long as inflation remains low there is little chance of any interest rate hikes in the UK.

A very quiet night for the Canadian Dollar against the Greenback, it did trade a little stronger during the overnight session but for the most part it is still at the same level as we closed yesterday. USD.CAD seems to have settled in on either side of the 1.1300 level for the time being as it awaits its next move, US Dollar buyers want to hope that we hang around these levels for a while and that the overall strong US Dollar trend starts to subside, if the trend does slowdown then we could see USD.CAD pullback towards 1.1200 in the coming days, if the trend does not lose steam then we should be heading back to 1.1400 at some point.

Up today we get some secondary US data including Producer Price Index which will be a precursor to the inflation data later in the week. We should have a relatively quiet day trading back and forth within current ranges.

Have a great day.
Mike
