Fundamental Analysis

* Levy Loom: The Canadian Dollar weakened against the U.S. Dollar as traders assessed President Trump’s policies and concerns over tariffs. On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, along with duties targeting China and the European Union, effective February 1. These announcements put downward pressure on the Canadian Dollar (CAD), as Canada depends heavily on trade with the U.S., which accounts for about 75% of its exports. Moreover, cooling inflation in Canada last month has raised expectations of a January rate cut by the Bank of Canada (BoC), adding further strain on the Loonie. According to Statistics Canada, the nation’s CPI inflation fell to 1.8% year-over-year in December from 1.9% in November, slightly below the market forecast of 1.9%.

Technical Analysis

* Technical Breakout: USDCAD was traded higher following prior rebound from the support level 1.43250. MACD which illustrate bullish momentum signal suggest the pair to likely extend its gains.

* Resistance and Support: If the bullish momentum persists, there’s a strong likelihood that the price will potentially head towards the level 1.44650. Conversely, a potential reversal is also to be expected and the price could head back towards 1.43250.

Potential Risks

Looking ahead, market attention is likely to continue to center on Donald Trump’s policy updates, as traders assess their potential impact on the global economy. On the economic front, the calendar is relatively light, but key U.S. data such as S&P Global PMI figures will still draw focus.
