Canadian Dollar Moves Lower Even as Crude Oil Rallies

The Canadian dollar fell a bit today even as prices for crude oil, Canada’s major export, rallied during the Monday’s session. Market analysts argued that the reason for that is diminishing prospect for an interest rate hike from the Bank of Canada. At the start of October, speculators priced in about 75% chance of a hike before the year end. But now, the probability is less than 50%. Economists claimed that the recent economic data […]

EUR/USD Little Changed as Euro & Dollar Struggle to Find Direction

EUR/USD moved lower today, but the drop was meager as neither the euro nor the dollar showed clear direction during the Monday’s trading session. The greenback continued to suffer from the Friday’s underwhelming inflation report, while the euro had troubles attracting traders due to uncertainty regarding the outlook for monetary policy of the European Central Bank. NY Empire State Index climbed from 24.4 to 30.2 in October, reaching the highest level in three […]

Euro Flat in Anticipation of Economic Data & ECB

The euro was mostly flat today as markets turned their attention away from politics towards the next week’s European Central Bank policy meeting and economic data that may influence the ECB decision. In what looked like a clever ploy, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy demanded from the Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont to make a clear statement whether Catalonia has announced independence. A clear yes would allow […]
