U.S. Senate Democrat Cantwell: El Paso airport exposes real problems in coordination between the U.S. Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration.The chairman of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a warning letter to Apple (AAPL.O) CEO Tim Cook.U.S. EIA natural gas inventories for the week ending February 6 were -249 billion cubic feet, compared to an expected -257 billion cubic feet and a previous -360 billion cubic feet.According to the Financial Times, the BBC plans to cut hundreds of millions of pounds in costs in its latest restructuring plan.February 12th - Data released Thursday by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed that U.S. pending home sales fell to an annualized rate of 3.91 million units in January, a decrease of 8.4% month-over-month, marking the largest monthly drop since April 2022 and far below the market median expectation. The blizzards and snow that swept across much of the country in late January likely delayed a large number of contract settlements. In the hardest-hit South—the largest home sales market in the U.S.—sales plummeted 9% to an annualized rate of 1.81 million units; sales in other parts of the country also declined significantly. "Lower-than-usual temperatures and higher-than-usual precipitation in January made it more difficult than usual to determine the underlying drivers of the sales decline and whether this months data is an outlier," said Lawrence Yin, chief economist at the NAR, in a statement. With mortgage rates recently falling and home price increases slowing, signs of improved affordability are becoming a bright spot in the housing market. The NAR Housing Affordability Index climbed to its highest level since 2022 last month, but remains well below pre-pandemic levels. Without sustained improvements in affordability, the housing market recovery may be a long and arduous process.

USD/CAD Bears Anticipate Additional Losses Towards $1.34

Following a three-day losing trend, the USD/CAD continues to trade near the weekly low around 1.3440 in the early hours of Thursday.

 

In doing so, the Loonie pair justifies yesterday's pullback from the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the February-March uptrend, as well as yesterday's retreat from the 100-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA), in conjunction with negative MACD signals.

 

Notably, the RSI (14) line is approaching the oversold region, indicating the USD/CAD exchange rate has limited downside potential.

 

Consequently, a horizontal area containing multiple lows marked since March 3 around 1.3400 becomes the most crucial support for pair traders to track. In addition, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level encircling 1.3390 provides immediate support.

 

A irregular decline towards February's low of 1.3262 cannot be ruled out if the USD/CAD defies RSI conditions and descends below 1.3390.

 

In contrast, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level around 1.3490, also known as the golden Fibonacci ratio, restricts immediate USD/CAD recovery movements prior to the 1.3535 100-exponential moving average (EMA) barrier.

 

If the USD/CAD exchange rate remains firmer than 1.3535, a convergence of the 200-exponential moving average (EMA) and 50% Fibonacci retracement around 1.3565 will pose a formidable obstacle for buyers.

 

At the time of publication, USD/CAD investors should remain cautious unless they observe a clear break above the previous support line from early February, which was near 1.3670.
