The market needs to pay attention to the Strait of Hormuzs traffic flow and the recovery of infrastructure in the Middle East. ING stated that the news of the US and Iran agreeing to a two-week ceasefire alleviated market concerns about long-term oil supply disruptions to some extent, causing international oil prices to fall below $100 per barrel. Future oil price trends will depend on whether a lasting agreement can be reached and whether shipping levels in the Strait can return to normal. Continued market volatility is expected during the negotiations. UBS stated that it is unclear when and to what extent shipping in the Strait will resume, and some tankers will need time to reroute. If traffic in the Strait is disrupted again, energy prices could rebound rapidly. Furthermore, even in an optimistic scenario, the repair of energy infrastructure and the recovery of production will take weeks or even months. Therefore, energy prices are unlikely to fall back to pre-conflict levels in the short term.EU officials suggest that natural gas injection should begin earlier to avoid a late summer buying frenzy.

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.
