It is understood that Trump had previously approved daily strike plans submitted by the military, but after receiving a new operational plan on the 25th, he did not approve its implementation and instead directly ordered a halt to airstrikes for the day. It is unclear whether this decision is merely a one-day temporary measure or signifies a pause in military operations. Reportedly, hours before Trump ordered the suspension of airstrikes, an Omani delegation arrived in Tehran to negotiate new arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Two regional sources familiar with the negotiations stated that progress had been made, and Oman and Iran are expected to reach an agreement by the end of the week, at which time Trump will decide whether to accept the proposed solution.A spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated: "In 15 days of fighting, we destroyed 11 U.S. fighter jets and helicopters."Irans Ministry of Oil: Despite facing war and sanctions, more than 60% of the annual oil revenue budget target has been achieved.

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.
