These days we are kind of focusing on the USA, China or the UK. As breaking news from these countries are coming out so often that traders hardly keep up with them. Donald Trump alone can shake the market. So, for some time we left Canada aside. And now, there is something to see there!
Things are the same in Canada like everywhere now: the national lockdown, the poor economic activity and a huge amount of jobs lost. This is hard enough. Unfortunately, it’s not over. In addition, the drop in oil prices worsened the situation.
On April 15 the Bank of Canada announced the expanding of its first quantitative easing program. As a result, the Canadian dollar weakened. And, forecasts are bearish as oil prices aren’t going to rise in the near term and nobody knows how long the lockdown will last.
So, let’s have a look at the CAD/JPY pair. After the announcement of the QE program, the price went down. Resistance lines are on 76.94 and 76.57. If the CAD/JPY break down through 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level or the 76.185 mark, it will possibly continue falling down. The support line is on 75.73.
Oil prices rebounded slightly on Friday but are still expected to show losses for the week due to concerns about slowing growth in the US and China. US crude futures rose 2.7% to $70.41 per barrel, while the Brent contract increased by 2.5% to $74.33 per barrel.
The oil prices rally and world central banks’ dovish monetary policy caused by the Covid-19 pandemic were the main reasons for current inflation growth…
Last Friday’s NFP was disappointing. The reaction of the markets was astonishing. Will it last longer? Let's find out the main trade opportunities for the upcoming week.
The past several weeks have been a real triumph for the bulls in the oil market. The Brent spot price grew by 8.5% during the last month.
Gold prices are rising for three consecutive days ahead of the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate decision, which is expected to remain unchanged due to declining inflation and a positive economic outlook. Investors are keen on the Fed's interest rate guidance, fearing a hawkish stance that could trigger market risk aversion.
Amid concerns of a Chinese economic slowdown, reports of declining investment often overlook China's efficient investment strategy in emerging sectors for long-term growth. China has taken measures to stabilize foreign and private sector investments, like reducing the reserve requirement ratio to boost investor confidence.
