January 5th - Data shows that the performance of US initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2025 was lackluster. Increased stock market volatility and stricter scrutiny of themes such as cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence impacted many high-profile listings that year. Data shows that, excluding closed-end funds and blank-check companies, the weighted average share price of companies listing in 2025 rose by 13.9%, lagging behind the S&P 500s 16% gain. Mike Bellin, PwCs US IPO head, stated, "2025 was clearly a mixed bag for the IPO market. While the market reopened, it was very selective." He pointed out that investors began prioritizing quality over momentum, and listing standards—especially for early-stage technology and consumer companies—have significantly increased. Bellin concluded, "The biggest takeaway is that we have firmly returned to a fundamentally driven market. Investors have become more discerning, and companies must have a clearer logic and a stronger operational direction when they go public."A report from the Regional Planning Association (RPA) on January 5th shows that bus and taxi speeds on Manhattans busiest streets have increased since the controversial congestion pricing plan was implemented. The plan charges drivers entering the heart of Manhattan. Currently, most passenger vehicles pay $9 to enter the area south of 60th Street during peak hours, while trucks pay higher fees depending on size. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which operates the citys transportation network and enforces the toll, says the tariff has helped reduce traffic flow by about 11%. According to the RPA report released Monday, taxi trips originating or ending south of 60th Street averaged 7.3 mph from January to October last year, a 1.4% increase compared to the same period in 2024 (before the toll began). This reverses a recent trend, as average taxi speeds have been declining since 2021. The congestion pricing is projected to generate $548.3 million in net revenue by 2025, according to the MTA, which will help modernize its aging transportation network.The local mayor stated that Russia attacked Bunges company in Dnipro, Ukraine.Federal Reserves Kashkari: The impact of Venezuela is mainly reflected in oil prices, but we havent seen that impact yet.Federal Reserve Bank of Washington President Neel Kashkari: I believe American households are in a better financial position than they were 20 years ago.

As investors wait for US/Canada employment data, the USD/CAD trading range is limited to 40 pips

The USD/CAD pair retraced below 1.3450 in the early Asian session as the US Dollar Index (DXY) lost upside momentum after reaching the key resistance level of 102.00. As investors anticipate the release of the United States/Canada Employment data, the Canadian dollar is expected to deliver a dazzling performance.

 

As a consequence of a decline in Job Openings and sluggish additions of new positions, as measured by Automatic Data Processing, firms have slackened recruitment efforts, thereby alleviating the tight US labor market. (ADP). This has led to expectations that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will keep interest rates unchanged at its May meeting.

 

In the interim, S&P500 futures have resumed their downward trend, indicating a cautious market sentiment.

 

Employment data will influence the Canadian Dollar. The consensus estimate for Net Change in Employment is 12K, which is a decrease from the previous release of 21.8K. The estimated unemployment rate is 5.1%, up from 5.0% previously.

 

The USD/CAD exchange rate is exhibiting an Inverted Flag pattern on an hourly time frame. The Inverted Flag is a trend-following pattern that consists of a protracted consolidation followed by a decline. Participants prefer to enter an auction after a bearish bias has been established, and current vendors increase their position size during the consolidation phase of a chart pattern.

 

The Canadian dollar was unable to maintain a position above the 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3458, indicating that further declines are imminent.

 

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has an upper limit of 60.00. A violation of the unfavorable 20.00-40.00 range will trigger downward momentum.

 

A break below the low of April 04, 1.3406, would expose the asset to a fresh six-week low around 1.3350, the low of February 6 followed by round-number support at 1.3300.

 

In an alternative scenario, a move above the psychological resistance of 1.3500 would lend momentum to US Dollar supporters, propelling the asset toward the 31- and 29-March highs of 1.3559 and 1.3619, respectively.
