CAD CPI: Major Moves Expected?

The Canadian dollar remained near its four-month high against the U.S. dollar, trading at 1.3390, supported by increased oil prices and anticipation of interest rate cuts in 2024. The loonie had touched its strongest level since August 4 at 1.3347 following the Federal Reserve's signal of potential interest rate cuts next year. Analysts suggest that the risk appetite for central bank rate cuts in 2024 has contributed to the Canadian dollar's strength. The upcoming Canadian Consumer Price Index report is expected to show a slowdown in inflation to 2.9% in November from 3.1% in October. A higher inflation number could influence the Bank of Canada to maintain current interest rates, further strengthening the loonie. Meanwhile, disruptions in maritime trade due to attacks by the Iran-aligned Yemeni Houthi militant group pushed up oil prices, a significant export for Canada. Canadian government bond yields rose, with the 10-year yield at 3.187%, rebounding from a seven-month low touched on Friday.

USDCAD - D1 Timeframe

USDCAD on the Daily timeframe made an initial reaction away from the pivot zone yesterday, followed by the current retracement that seems to be currently on-going. In light of this, and the market structure on the 4-Hour timeframe, I believe the CPI numbers will provide the needed momentum for price to complete a proper rejection from the pivot zone. In this case, however, I’d advice that proper confirmations be sought from the lower timeframes before taking a trade.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bullish

Target: 1.34918

Invalidation: 1.33489

EURCAD - H4 Timeframe

EURCAD is steadily climbing towards the rally-base-drop supply zone on the 4-Hour timeframe. By the time price reaches the supply zone, it would be coming under bearish pressure from two resistance trendlines, as well as the 100 and 200 period moving averages. Considering that the moving averages are arrayed in a bearish order, this lends extra credence to my bearish sentiment.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bearish

Target: 1.45591

Invalidation: 1.47831

CADJPY - H4 Timeframe

In the case of CADJPY, the price action is currently riding upwards, with a likely target being the rally-base-drop supply zone. Additional confluences to the supply zone include; the bearish array of the moving averages, 200-period moving average resistance, and the resistance trendline intersection. In spite of these confluences though, it is crucial to note that further confirmation can still be sought before you take a position on these trade ideas.

Analyst’s Expectations: 

Direction: Bearish

Target: 105.897

Invalidation: 109.683
