July 7, according to the Financial Times, Amazon (AMZN.O) and Walmart (WMT.N) will clash this week. Seattle-based Amazon changed the launch of its annual "Prime Member Day" online promotion to July 8, the same date as Walmarts discount event last year. Walmart insisted on starting the event on the same date, which led to a head-on confrontation, and also extended the event from 4 days to 6 days, overwhelming Amazon. Its "Walmart Special" event will be carried out online and for the first time cover 4,600 stores in the United States. "The two retail giants are competing fiercely for the favor of American consumers," said Canavis, an analyst at market research firm eMarketer.Poly Property Group (00119.HK): In June, the company achieved contract sales of approximately RMB 4.8 billion, contract sales area of approximately 165,000 square meters, and an average contract sales price of approximately RMB 29,157 per square meter.According to TASS, Russian air defense forces destroyed 91 Ukrainian drones during the night.According to the Financial Times: British fintech company Revolut has not yet obtained approval from the UK financial regulator and cannot provide consumer credit services to its 11 million customers in the UK.On July 7, ING Bank said that it expects the Reserve Bank of Australia to cut the cash rate by 25 basis points to 3.6% at its meeting on Tuesday, as recent growth and inflation data have been weaker than expected. Australias headline inflation rate fell to 2.1% in May from 2.4% in April, close to the lower limit of the central banks 2-3% target range. In addition, the latest monetary policy statement of the Reserve Bank of Australia showed that the voluntary resignation rate fell and the focus of wage negotiations shifted to job security demands, which may slow wage growth more than currently expected. Considering that the downside risks to growth and inflation dominate, we will expand the expected interest rate cut in 2025 by 25 basis points, and the final value of the cash rate is expected to reach 3.1% by the end of the year. The global tariff situation has not yet dissipated, and the overall and core inflation have established a downward trend, and are expected to remain near the median of the 2-3% range in the next few quarters.

The U.S. dollar fell to a new low in more than two months against the Canadian dollar! Strong rise in oil prices supports the Canadian dollar

Oct 26, 2021 11:01

On Monday (October 11), the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar continued Friday’s decline and hit a new low in more than two months near 1.2450.


The Canadian dollar’s rise is due to the performance of crude oil prices. Crude oil is Canada’s main export commodity. Canadian employment data is also better than the US non-agricultural report.

WTI crude oil futures prices have risen to a new high since 2014. The market is worried that as Tropical Storm Pamela moves towards the Gulf of Mexico, it may hit this energy-rich region in the middle of this week and supply will be further interrupted. The positive news that the US stimulus plan and the economy is expected to recover from the epidemic may also be beneficial to oil prices.

Whether it is Canada’s net employment change, unemployment rate or average hourly wages, all of these data exceed the September employment data of the United States, helping the US dollar/Canadian dollar bears continue to gain the upper hand.

The non-agricultural employment population in the United States fell to 194,000 in September, which is expected to be 500,000, but the previous value was revised up to 366,000. At the same time, the unemployment rate fell to 4.8%, the previous value was 5.2%, and the forecast was 5.1%, alleviating some concerns. The average hourly wage increased by 0.6%, which is expected to be 0.4%, and the previous value was revised down to 0.4%.

On the other hand, the Canadian unemployment rate was in line with expectations, recording 6.9%, compared with the previous value of 7.1%. The number of employed people increased by 157,100 people, which is expected to increase by 65,000 people. In addition, the average hourly wage increased by 1.7% in September, which was higher than the previous value of 1.25%.

Although rising oil prices helped the US and Canadian dollar shorts, the US and Canadian markets were closed and concerns about the Fed's balance sheet reduction limit the exchange rate to fall further. In addition, risk aversion supports the dollar's safe-haven demand and also prevents the exchange rate from falling.

If the intraday closes below the 100-day moving average, the US dollar/Canadian dollar will point to near the July 30 low of 1.2423, and further down the 1.24 mark is worthy of attention.

On the upside, the 100-day moving average of 1.2487 and the 200-day moving average of 1.2512 will provide important resistance. Breaking the 200-day moving average will lead to short-term optimism.

At 15:18 GMT+8, the US dollar was quoted at 1.2448 against the Canadian dollar.
