canadian dollar falls on potential BoC rate cut prop trading 9 July 2024 trading opportunities

Fundamental Analysis

* Loonie Dip: The Canadian Dollar has weakened against the U.S. Dollar due to anticipated consecutive rate cuts by the Bank of Canada (BoC). This expectation is fueled by turmoil in the labor market. Recently, Canada’s unemployment rate rose more than expected, hitting 6.4% compared to the forecasted 6.3% and the previous 6.2%. The labor market experienced an unexpected downturn with the layoff of 1.4K workers. Additionally, the Canadian Dollar came under selling pressure due to falling oil prices, driven by peace negotiations in the Middle East.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: USDCAD was traded higher following recent rebound from the support level 1.36050. MACD which illustrate diminishing bearish momentum signal suggest the pair to extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards 1.36650. Conversely, a potential correction is also to be expected and the price could head towards 1.36050.

Potential Risks

Following a lack of crucial catalyst from Canada this week, investors are shifting their attention to key U.S. data to better pinpoint the Federal Reserve’s timeline for future rate cuts.
