Canadian Dollar Update May 5, 2016
USD/CAD Open: 1.2816-1.2817 Overnight Range: 1.2785-1.2876
The Canadian dollar was rangebound in overnight currency exchange markets. Oil is at $45.78 and gold is at $1,287. 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 1.2922. Support is at 1.2734.
Despite firmer commodity prices, the Canadian dollar continues to trade at levels similar to yesterday. Weak trade data resulted in CAD weakness yesterday, and positive Canadian data has ostensibly been priced in around the 1.25 level. WTI is firmer, which has largely been ignored by CAD, suggesting the two will not trade as closely over today’s session. Tomorrow’s employment data will be the last major data release for CAD this week.
Today’s Suggested Range USD/CAD: 1.2750 – 1.2850
