Reasons for Decline of Canadian Dollar to Fresh Lows

The Canadian dollar dropped to the fresh lows against its US peer during the Thursday’s session and also fell against some other majors including the euro. The currency has plenty of reasons for its weakness, both domestic and global. The major reason for the loonie’s weakness is the strength of the greenback after yesterday’s monetary policy announcement from the Federal Reserve. While US policy makers still talked about patience in approach to monetary tightening, […]

EUR/USD Attempts to Recover After Losses

EUR/USD attempted to recover after the previous losses but remains below yesterday’s opening level as of now. Still, the currency managed to stay above today’s opening even as US jobless claims fell much more than was expected. The possible reason for the strength of EUR/USD is the terrible US housing report and yesterday’s policy statement of the Federal Reserve that was a bit more dovish that dollar bulls have hoped for.
