Peskov also stated that the exact date for the visit to Russia by US Presidential Envoy Witkov and his son-in-law Jared Kushner has not yet been arranged, but the two are always welcome in Moscow as guests of President Putin and their respective Russian counterparts.Qatar has stated that its current efforts are focused on mediating relations between the United States and Iran.Qatars Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Both sides reiterated their condemnation of Israels public rejection of Trumps roadmap aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza.Qatars Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The Qatari Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister met with the Egyptian Foreign Minister on the sidelines of the seventh Joint High Committee meeting in Cairo.

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.
