Yahoo Finance USD/CAD Daily Forecast – Key Focus over Escalating US-Sino Trade Tensions
During the early hours, the Loonie pair had already shifted gears, shooting up from 1.3192 bottom mark to 1.3243 level. Laterwards, the pair appeared to slow down, maintaining a consolidation near 1.3226 level.
Meantime, the Crude prices had appeared to drop since last Friday as the US imposed an additional tariff duty over the $300 billion Chinese goods. Anyhow, now Trump’s tariffs have covered nearly all the imported Chinese products. And, the commodity prices continued to tumble as China had recently initiated some retaliation over the US counterpart. Beijing has allowed the Yuan to slip to almost a decade low against the dollar. Along with that, China has asked the state-owned companies to suspend the imports of US agricultural products.
On the technical side, the Crude Oil WTI Futures was forming a symmetrical triangle since April 23. However, today, the Crude Futures was struggling to breach and move above the significant SMAs in order to justify the symmetrical triangle.
Significant Economic Events
The most crucial US ISM July Non-Manufacturing PMI data release would happen at around 14:00 GMT. This time, the street analysts hope the Non-Manufacturing PMI to grow 0.73% over the previous 55.1 points. Anyhow, the market holds an in-line estimation over the July Markit Services and Composite PMI data releases.
Notably, the Treasury Bill Yield figures would come out following the PMI data. Last time, the 3-month yield had reported 2.07% while the 6-month yield had stalled near 2.035%.
Today, the Canadian economic calendar stays light-weighed amid lack of CAD-specific and Oil catalyst events like API/EIA Crude data reports.
