On December 22nd, Federal Reserve Governor Milan stated that with the recent adjustments to monetary policy, the necessity of his previous advocacy for a 50-basis-point rate cut has diminished. Milan pointed out that some unusual fluctuations in previous inflation data were partly related to the government shutdown. These unusual signals indicate that the Feds policy stance should be adjusted towards a more accommodative direction. He emphasized that he currently sees no risk of the economy falling into recession in the short term, but believes that the neutral interest rate level has clearly shifted downward, and monetary policy must reflect this structural change. If the policy rate fails to continue to decline to approach the new neutral level, it may actually increase the risk of an economic recession. Furthermore, regarding his own term, Milan admitted that he is still uncertain whether he will remain in office. He stated: "If no successor is confirmed by the end of January, I will assume that I will continue to serve."According to CNBC, Trian and General Catalyst will acquire asset management firm Janus Henderson for $49 per share in cash, valuing the latter at approximately $7.4 billion, a 6.5% premium over Fridays closing price.Lockheed Martin (LMT.N) is partnering with ManTech to advance AI-based support for the U.S. combat aircraft fleet.Market news: Mexican President Simbaum will launch a plan to boost public and private investment.Brazils oil regulator has approved Petrobras to start production at its P-78 floating production storage and offloading unit in the Santos Basin.

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.
