Top Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have hinted that they are open to pushing for the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office.Israel has information that Iran may resume missile attacks against Israel.April 9th - According to US government officials, the Trump administration is considering a plan to punish some NATO members it believes did not support the US and Israel during the war with Iran. The proposal includes withdrawing US troops from non-supporting NATO members and redeploying them to countries more supportive of US military operations. This proposal is far less serious than Trumps recent threats to completely withdraw the US from NATO, as Trump cannot withdraw without congressional approval. The plan has been circulating and gaining support among senior government officials in recent weeks and is currently in its initial conceptual stage, one of several options for punishing NATO being discussed by the White House. The White House previously stated that Trump believes NATO has failed the "test" and will discuss withdrawal with Rutte. According to two government officials, in addition to redeploying troops, the plan may also include closing US military bases in at least one European country, possibly Spain or Germany. Countries such as Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Greece could benefit as they are seen as supporters. The plan could lead to a greater deployment of US troops closer to the Russian border, potentially angering Moscow.White House National Economic Council Director Hassett: The surge in oil prices in the CPI report may be a one-off event.US Vice President Vance: Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf spoke about the alleged attacks in Iran, calling them a violation of the ceasefire agreement. Ceasefire agreements are always subject to change. Just one hour after the president announced a ceasefire, Iran launched a series of missiles. Israel responded, and some Gulf Arab states retaliated. This is the nature of ceasefire agreements. Any ceasefire agreement is bound to encounter some twists and turns.

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.
