- USD/CAD bulls eye a run to test 1.3520.
- CAD is under pressure, consolidating at fresh cycle lows vs. the US Dollar.
USD/CAD is flat in the Toyo opening hour on Friday whereby the pair rallied from a low of 1.3375 to a high of 1.3495. CAD was therefore posting its biggest decline since early March, as oil prices dropped and US economic data added to evidence that the economy is slowing down.
First, in the US data, the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits leaped to a 1-1/2-year high last week, and producer prices rebounded modestly in April. U.S. weekly initial unemployment claims rose +22,000 to 264,000, showing a weaker labor market than expectations of 245,000.
In other related market events, crude oil and gasoline prices on Thursday posted moderate losses..Canada sends about 75% of its exports to the United States, including oil. Demand concerns weighed on crude prices as Thursday’s weaker-than-expected economic news from China and the US, the world’s two biggest crude consumers, sparked fears about a slowdown in the global economy that is bearish for energy demand.
´´The OPEC put, along with an expected resurgence in Chinese demand later this year, should keep oil prices on a firming trajectory. At the same time, CTA positioning remains near max-short levels, which suggests that this cohort will not contribute much to the additional downside,´´ analysts at TD Securities said.
Meanwhile, there has been an improved inflation outlook for the US and this has lowered Treasury yields on two-year notes (which can move in step with interest rate expectations, to 3.90% from above 4% at the end of last week. The yield on 10-year notes fell 5 basis points to 3.386%.
As a consequence, the futures markets are showing the probability that the Fed will raise rates again in June was 10.7%, up from 2.1% soon after the data’s release. The odds that the Fed cuts rates later this year also rose.
