GFX Morning Commentary

Good Morning,

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.1755-1.1830

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.4000-1.4070

Today’ expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.7900-1.7970

The US Dollar is marginally stronger this morning as further declines in the price of oil continue to push world equity markets lower and the Greenback higher. Overnight the price of a barrel of oil fell below $49 and this morning it is trading just above that level, clearly there is further pressure for the price to keep falling. How low will the price go is anybody’s guess but at the moment you can’t fight the trend.

In the UK overnight, the Pound trader weaker as more poor economic data came in on the economy, Sterling has been trading weaker for a few weeks now and it looks like that will continue for some time. The Euro continues to trade with a weak bias and should continue to do so ahead of the ECB announcing massive stimulus programs and the Greek election.

The Canadian Dollar traded in a narrow range last night but it did give back some of the strength it picked up yesterday, USD.CAD is still below the 1.1840 levels that we saw on Monday night but given the current situation we could once again see those levels anytime soon.

Up today we get Factory Orders from the US but for the most part any movement will just follow the price of oil and any further declines in equity markets, we could easily see USD.CAD break the 1.1800 level once again.

Have a great day.
Mike
