GFX Morning FX Commentary

Good Morning,

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar is 1.2450-1.2520

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the Euro is 1.4080-1.4150

Today’s expected range for the Canadian Dollar against Sterling is 1.8860-1.8930

The US Dollar is marginally weaker this morning as the New York markets gear up again as the storm to end all storms fizzled out and came to very little. The Euro got a bit of a jump this morning as the Swiss National Bank made the comment that it is ready to start intervening in the FX markets to weaken the Swiss Franc, that is all the markets need, the most notorious  Central Bank in the world sticking their nose back in the FX markets. In the UK GDP data for the 4th quarter came in a little below expectation at an annualized rate of 2.7% in the 4th quarter, Sterling got a little boost from this but still trades with a weak bias.

The Canadian Dollar traded weaker again last night and the USD.CAD rate had a quick look above 1.2500 but it was not able to sustain the move, I would suspect that it will get there at some point this week, there appears to be no end to the weakness in the Canadian Dollar.

Up today we have a slew of secondary US data, if the overall tone of the data is beneficial for the US economy you should see the US Dollar push forward again today, the market will use this data to look to the US Federal Reserve announcement tomorrow to see if they are still planning an interest rate hike later this year.

Have a great day
Mike
