Canadian Dollar Update As At January 23 (updated) ~ forex trading courses usa

What Is Happening With The Canadian Dollar?

Background.

The Canadian Dollar has had a nice bounce up in the past couple days and for sure people want that to continue.

Prices for food are skyrocketing and there is little relief in sight as most produce and vegetables are imported at this time of year.

The Loonie has been buoyed by a rise in the price of oil and a bit of weakness in the US Dollar.

Currency wars have been active quietly for many months. As China attempts to rescue its economy and increase production, there have been manipulations of the Yuan.

In addition many other countries are attempting to use interest rates as a tool to stimulate their economies.

Resources world wide are suffering from lack of deman as the worldwide economic slowdown persists.

Some interesting things have been developing in countries against which the Loonie trades, the next couple weeks will be interesting to determine the direction of the Loonie.

The Canadian Dollar is a component of the US Dollar Index, naturally the Loonie is reflected in that index and that index affects the value of the Loonie.

It looks like there is some divergence on these charts of the USDX and it appears to meet pretty stiff resistance to going much higher, which leads me to believe that the US Dollar is about to fall back which will improve the value of the loonie.

Because there are so many economies involved and because each can change their interest rates without warning, it is very difficult to manipulate the value of the Loonie with interest rates alone.

Three Charts to look at:

We have a weekly chart and a daily chart of the US Dollar index.

Both of these charts show some bearish divergence which is good news for the Loonie.

This next chart shows a pretty strong indication that the Loonie is about to rise

This is a Monthly Chart of the USDCAD currency pair and pretty [plain on there is the bearish pattern.
What makes this pattern more valid than most is that it covers a period of many years, about 15 years.

Long term, the US Dollar will be falling against the Loonie and relief for Canadians.

In the short term, there will be some volatility and we may see the gains of this week wiped out within the next week.
