FOREX: USD/CAD Extends Winning Streak to Six Consecutive Sessions

FOREX
BulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange Bullets
  • JPY sits very modestly weaker against most others in G10, keeping the bull trend posted off the 139.58 lows intact, and the Y150.00 handle a key psychological target.  Gains are perhaps more notable in EUR/JPY, which sits just below the intersection of horizontal resistance layered between  163.49-61 and the 200-dma of 164.37.
  • Newsflow and currency-relevant headlines have been few and far between early Friday, keeping focus on the digestion of yesterday's US data as well as the upcoming policy briefing from the Chinese Ministry of Finance over the weekend. As a result, risk sentiment is mixed, evident in equity futures markets sitting in modest negative territory while the US 10y yield holds firmer - albeit well off yesterday's extremes.
  • The winning streak in USD/CAD continues, with Thursday trade confirming six consecutive sessions of higher highs and higher lows - keeping the bull trend intact and recovery highs of 1.3775 as the first target, before 1.3800 and 1.3846, the mid-April highs.
  • The focus on US inflationary pressures are likely to remain the focus Friday, with PPI data set to cross as well as the prelim UMich sentiment survey. Canadian jobs data for September is also due, with the unemployment rate set to rise to 6.7% from 6.6% - a shift that should keep the BoC on a firm easing bias ahead.
