USD/CAD Mid-Day OutlookDaily Pivots: (S1) 1.0473; (P) 1.0515; (R1) 1.0588; More. USD/CAD's fall from 1.0851 is still in progress and further fall is expected towards 61.8% retracement of 1.0109 to 1.0851 at 1.0392 and below. But at this point, we'd still expect strong support above near term rising trend line (now at 1.0250) and bring rebound. On the upside, above 1.0561 minor resistance will indicate that pull back from 1.0851 is over and flip intraday bias back to the upside for retesting this high first. |

RBA To Pause In June With Traders Pricing In Chances Of Rate CutThe RBA is most likely to keep the cash unchanged at 4.5% after taking it up for 6 times since October 2009 from an unprecedentedly low level at 3%. At the accompanying statement after May's meeting, RBA governor Glens Stevens hinted a pause in June as he stated that the rate hikes represent 'a significant adjustment from the very expansionary settings reached a year ago' and have brought interest rates for most borrowers to 'around average levels'. Furthermore, recent macroeconomic developments, including sovereign crisis in the Eurozone and its impacts on global economic outlook, heightened sense of risk aversion and moderation in domestic economic data in Australia, have also suggested the central bank to be on hold. Risk Appetite Improved Depsite Spain's Downgrade. Sovereign Risk LingersMarket sentiment seemed to have eased after weeks of selloff in the financial market. Stocks and most commodities recorded gains over the week. However, sovereign-debt crisis in the Eurozone is yet to be resolved and we got Spain being downgraded on Friday. BOC to be the First G7 Central Banks to Hike RateAfter the Bank of Canada removed the conditional statement at the meeting on April 20, there had been strong expectation of a rate hike in June. The market had in fact priced in a full +25 bps increase shortly after the meeting. However, the hopes faded as Eurozone's sovereign crisis escalated. With concerns over a double dip economic recovery, the bet on a June rate hike vs another month of unchanged policy is now 50-50. Therefore, the meeting outcome next Monday will be crucial for future economic development as well as the outlook for Canadian dollar. |
