Key Insights

  • The dollar rebounded sharply against the Loonie.

  • Treasury yields broke out.

  • Jobless claims were weaker than expected.

USD/CAD moved higher, rebounding and are poised to target resistance. The 2-year yield rose to help to generate tailwinds for the greenback. The currency markets are focusing on Friday’s U.S. CPI report following Thursday’s weaker than expected initial jobless claims report.

Jobless claims for the week ended June 4 totaled 229,000, an increase of 27,000 more than the 210,000 expected. Continuing claims, which run a week behind the headline number, were unchanged at just over 1.3 million, below estimates of 1.35 million. The four-week moving average for continuing claims declined slightly to 1.32 million, the lowest level since January 10, 1970.

Technical Analysis

The USD/CAD rebounded sharply. Target resistance is seen near the 50-day moving average near 1.2720. Support is seen near an upward sloping trend line near 1.26. The 10-day moving average crossed below the 50-day moving average, which means that a short-term downtrend is now in place.

Short-term momentum has reversed and turned positive as the fast stochastic had a crossover buy signal.

Medium-term momentum decelerated.  The trajectory of the MACD line is negative which points to consolidation.

  • Any U.S. recession would likely be short, shallow, IMF official says

    If the United States does fall into a recession, it would likely be "relatively short," with only modest increases in unemployment, and may look like U.S. downturns in the early 2000s, an International Monetary Fund official said on Friday. Nigel Chalk, deputy director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, said the depth of any recession would depend on the size of the shock that would push the U.S. economy off its IMF-predicted path of narrowly avoiding recession, and strong household balance sheets would provide a cushion. "There's a lot of savings sitting in the system that would help support demand, and the labor market is historically tight," Chalk said at a news conference on the IMF's review of U.S. economic policies.

  • Did corporate greed fuel inflation? It's not biggest culprit

  • U.S. Paying More to Borrow as Fed Raises Rates, Inflation Stays Elevated

    Yields on U.S. Treasurys are rising as the Federal Reserve lifts interest rates to try to cool inflation, a development that could increase the federal government’s borrowing costs over time to levels higher than currently projected. Government spending on net interest costs in the fiscal year that began last October totaled about $311 billion through May, a nearly 30% increase from the same period a year earlier, according to Treasury Department data. While the annual federal deficit has narrowed 79% this fiscal year, the higher borrowing costs are a rising government expenditure at a time when other federal spending is declining and tax revenue is increasing.
