Yahoo Finance USD/CAD Daily Forecast – Gann Fans Revealing Sharp Pullbacks Near 3:1 Line
The Loonie pair had made a 0.77% massive drop last night following the plunge in the Greenback. The USD Index had fallen yesterday around 0.59% after the Fed’s Interest rate announcement.
The Fed has decided to keep the interest rates unchanged at 2.5% for the time being. The Central Bank stays positive over the economic outlook. The policymakers continue to believe in the economy and hope for a recovery soon. However, the Bank hinted that it might opt for a rate cut in the future depending upon the incoming information. The positive outlook got developed over the low unemployment figures and decent consumer spending. Despite that, the ongoing trade tensions and sluggishness in the manufacturing sector kept the pressure intact.
“It’s important,” said Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a news conference, “that monetary policy does not overreact to any individual data point or short-term swing in sentiment. Doing so would risk adding even more uncertainty to the outlook.”
Along with the Greenback slowdown, the strengthening Loonie continued to add more pressure to the pair’s movements. Yesterday, the Canadian CPI figures elevated the market sentiment. The May CPI reports had recorded higher-than-market expectations. Good reports on the inflation front show definite signs of improvement for the Canadian economy. The market now anticipates the Canadian April Retail Sales data about to release on Friday. However, the Street analysts stay pretty bearish over the figures, calling for a Loonie weakness.
Meanwhile, the Crude prices continued to stick to the weekly top near $54.93 bbl. The latest price surge came after the EIA reported a decrease in the Crude stockpiles computed since June 14. Finally, OPEC and its allies have fixed a meeting date to discuss regarding supply cuts. OPEC members would meet up on July 1 followed by a meeting with the non-OPEC members on July 2.
