US fundamentals continue to lead the markets, with the USD index remaining relative stable, while in the Far-east the contraction of Japan’s GDP rate for Q3, tends to intensify worries for the Japanese macroeconomic outlook. Also, in the equities markets analysts are advising caution ahead of Nvidia earnings release on Wednesday. In the FX market we highlight the release of Canada’s CPI rates for October. The rates are expected to slow down and if the rates slow down beyond market expectations, we may see the Loonie losing some ground. Slowing beyond market expectations CPI rates for the past month tend to imply easing inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy, which in turn may start adding pressure on BoC to restart the easing of its monetary policy. On the flip side a possible acceleration of the rates could take the markets by surprise and provide asymmetric support for the CAD as if combined with October’s improved employment data could harden BoC’s stance.
USD/CAD remained relatively steady, just above the 1.4020 (S1) support line. Overall we maintain a bias for a sideways motion of the pair, given also that the RSI indicator remains near the reading of 50, yet bullish tendencies may erupt as the pair’s price action is within tan upward channel since the end of August. For a bullish outlook to emerge we would require the pair to break the 1.4145 (R1) resistance line, which marks the latest peak and start aiming for the 1.4280 (R2) resistance level. For a bearish outlook to be adopted we would require USD/CAD to break the 1.4020 (S1) support line and continue to break also the 1.3880 (S2) support level which withheld the downward pressure on the 29th of October.
Also on a technical level, we note that gold’s price tumbled on Friday breaking the 4155 (R1) support line, now turned to resistance. Given the drop we switch our bullish outlook in favour of a sideways motion bias for the time being. Please note that the RSI indicator has approached the reading of 50, implying a rather indecisive market which could allow the sideways motion to be maintained, while similar signals are being send by the converging Bollinger bands implying less volatility for gold’s price. Should the bulls regain control over gold’s price, we may see it breaking the 4155 (R1) resistance line and start aiming for the 4380 (R2) resistance level. Should the bears take over we may see gold’s price breaking the 3890 (S1) support line and continue lower to aim the 3615 (S2) support level.
