USD/CAD Video 18.05.21.
U.S. Dollar Attempts To Gain Ground Against Canadian Dollar
USD/CAD has recently made an attempt to settle below the support at 1.2040 but lost momentum and rebounded above 1.2065 while the U.S. dollar remained under pressure against a broad basket of currencies.
The U.S. Dollar Index managed to settle below the support at 90 and made an attempt to settle below the next support level at 80.75. This attempt was not successful, and the U.S. Dollar Index moved closer to the 90 level. If the U.S. Dollar Index manages to get back above the 90 level, USD/CAD will get more support.
Today, U.S. reported that Building Permits increased by 0.3% month-over-month in April compared to analyst consensus which called for a decline of 0.9%. Housing Starts declined by 9.5% month-over-month compared to analyst consensus which called for a decline of 2.8%. While Housing Starts declined more than expected, the housing market remains at strong levels, and it’s too early to make conclusions after one disappointing report.
Tomorrow, foreign exchange market traders will focus on inflation data from Canada. Inflation Rate is projected to increase by 3.2% in April on a year-over-year basis. Core Inflation Rate is expected to increase by 2.1%.
