USD/CAD: edging lower for the fourth day straight
Information is not investment advice
The pair fell down on the weak US dollar and the positive Canadian data. What is the forecast?
What happened?
Yesterday the consumer price index came out better than expected. It rose by 0.8%, while the forecast was only 0.4%. USD/CAD slumped after the report to the 5-week low at 1.3400. At the same time, the weak US dollar added to the pair falling. In fact, the US dollar was waning on the risk-on sentiment, and it got an extra headwind from fears that democrats and republicans wouldn’t be able to agree on the fiscal stimulus package in a short time. In addition, the US existing home sales turned out worse than analysts expected. They rose by 4.72 million the last month, while the forecast was 4.77 million. Also, today the USA published jobless claims. Analysts expected that the numbers will stay at the same level as the previous time – 1.3 million. However, unemployment claims rose by 1.4 million and weighed on the US dollar.
Technical tips
The pair had been trading in a horizontal range between 1.3685 and 1.3500 during almost two weeks already. And, finally, USD/CAD escaped it, breaking down the 200-day moving average. As a rule, the price should fall by the same height as the range itself. The pair has already crossed the 1.3425 level and continues moving down. If the pair crosses the low of June 8 at 1.3380, it will plummet to the next support at 1.3320.

How Will BoJ Meeting Affect the Yen
Hold onto your hats, folks! The Japanese yen took a nosedive after the Bank of Japan (BOJ) left its ultra-loose policy settings unchanged, including its closely watched yield curve control (YCC) policy. But wait, there's more! The BOJ also removed its forward guidance, which had previously pledged to keep interest rates at current or lower levels. So, what's the scoop? Market expectations had been subdued going into the meeting, but some were still hoping for tweaks to the forward guidance to prepare for an eventual exit from the bank's massive stimulus
