Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: Following our series of long-range strikes against the Kamensky plant in Rostov Oblast, Russias production capacity for solid-fuel rocket engines has been significantly weakened. We will continue to conduct such long-range strike operations.Ukrainian President Zelensky: Military intelligence has confirmed that our long-range strikes are highly effective, especially against Russian military production facilities and oil industry facilities.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that, given the Russian fleets inability to escort merchant ships and shadow fleets entering relevant ports, one solution Russia is considering is equipping civilian vessels with light weapons, electronic warfare equipment, and military personnel. We will prepare corresponding countermeasures against Russias militarization of shipping.Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: According to internal Russian documents, exports of some of its products have already fallen by 80% this month alone. This has caused substantial damage to the Russian federal budget and regional budgets, some of which were already on the verge of bankruptcy.On August 28th, Pakistan, which had previously engaged in defense cooperation with Saudi Arabia, subsequently reached a joint defense agreement with Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and on August 27th signed a new defense cooperation agreement with Kuwait. Why has Pakistan gained the defense trust of multiple Middle Eastern countries? And how much impact will this have on the USs dominant security position in the Gulf region? According to Middle East expert Wang Jin, Pakistans outstanding military capabilities and unique political identity—being a predominantly Sunni Muslim country—make it easy for it to gain the favor and support of many Islamic countries in the Middle East. Furthermore, historically, Pakistan has maintained very close military cooperation with many Gulf states. These characteristics make Pakistan a top choice for defense cooperation among many Middle Eastern countries. Pakistan will inevitably play an even more important supporting role in Middle Eastern security and defense in the future. However, this does not mean that the USs dominant role in the Middle East is weakening; other countries will find it difficult to replace the USs military presence and security guarantee mechanisms in the Middle East in the short term.

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.
