Canadian Dollar Update December 16, 2016
USD/CAD Open: 1.3373-1.3374 Overnight Range: 1.3317-1.3387
The Canadian dollar was rangebound in overnight currency exchange markets. Oil is at $51.74 and gold is at $1,135. US futures are higher. There are no major domestic data releases scheduled for today.
The short term Canadian dollar technicals are neutral. For today, USD resistance is at 1.3417. Support is at 1.3150.
The Canadian dollar continues to fall against the US dollar following this week’s hawkish rate hike from the Federal Reserve. Continued divergence in monetary policy between Canada and the US throughout 2017 is likely limit Canadian dollar upside in the medium term, as yield spreads widen. With oil prices stagnating, CAD appears to lack a catalyst in the short-term.
Today’s Suggested Range USD/CAD: 1.3350 – 1.3450
