khalidamassi avatar

EUR performed well last week as EU data still help, German GDP still surge at +0.6%, EU flash GDP still at highest level at +0.6%, Trade balance still at highest levels and higher Eu still not affecting trade balance numbers, in other hand, CAD did not perform well as still affected by last week employment data and lower oil prices and NATFA issue still to be driver for CAD movement.

EUR tried to holds last week gains but EU flash manufacturing and services failed to keep Eur strong as most data came below expectation, also no surprise from final EU CPI data which came at 1.3% as expected filed to fuel EUR. Next week, just take care of last month Germany and EU CPI which will mostly affect EUR, in other hand, CAD hit last week by most majors as Core retail sales were so bad as it came at -1.8% VS 0.1% expected, but after Strong CPI date at 0.7% VS 0.4% expected, pair recovered most of the week losses.

Euro performed very well last week as more good data came from EU economy, more strong EU data and finally Grand coalitions in Germany, Germany looked to work with Macron France to strengthen euro zone economy and reforms, all of this send euro to highest level in 3years, In other hand, CAD dollar still helped strongly with strong gains of oil, CAD but expected US exit from NATFA agreement put strong pressure on CAD and this still expected to weight in the near future,

khalidamassi avatar

Pair still play in the last daily range of last 3 weeks but unable to break above 1.5200 and so still good chance for bears.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro performed mixed as more good data came from EU economy, more strong EU data but no clear Grand coalitions in Germany as there is opposition in SPD party which is expected to make final decision on Sunday 21/01, Germany Merkel fate at the decision of SPD, Euro will be affected, In other hand, CAD dollar got a boost from BOC rate hike and still helped with oil gains but worries about NATFA agreement put strong pressure on CAD and this still expected to weight in the near future.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair closed week near multi week high at 1.5280, pair still expected to advance if 1.5300 broken up.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair still in and around 1.5300, still need to be clearly broken up to achieve 1.5500.

EUR was mixed against pairs but lower against USD and GBP due to strong data from these countries, Brexit data nowadays help GBP more EUR.In other hand, CAD lost ground again after caution of BOC about future expectation and rates, after 2 rate hikes, BOC want to see more evidence that economy still heating.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro hold steady last week after some improvement of ECB projections, EU data still so solid, In other hand,CAD still vulnerable due to lower oil prices and lower GDP in last quarter but BOC still optimistic but this not persuade CAD investors so much.

khalidamassi avatar

Still play below crtical level around 1.5150, should close above 1.5200 to confirm new bullish target.

khalidamassi avatar

Euro performed well last week as more good data came from EU economy, Catalonia Vote did not affect euro so much, ECB speakers spoke loudly last week at QE end after the last 9 month extension, In other hand,CAD dollar was helped at week beginning with strong CPI and retails sales numbers but then lagged by lower GDP data and with dovish speech by BOC Governor.

khalidamassi avatar

Failed again at 1.5300 and returned to 1.5080, only clear close above 1.5300 open the door for bulls again to fight 1.5500.
