May 5th - According to three sources familiar with the matter, US intelligence assessments indicate that the timeline for Iran to develop nuclear weapons has remained unchanged since last summer. At that time, analysts estimated that the joint US-Israeli strikes had delayed this timeline by up to a year. This unchanged timeline suggests that effectively stopping Irans nuclear program may require the destruction or removal of Irans remaining stockpile of highly enriched uranium (HEU). The sources stated that US intelligence agencies concluded before the 12-day war in June of last year that Iran was likely to produce enough weapons-grade uranium to build a nuclear weapon within three to six months. Following the June airstrikes, US intelligence assessments pushed this timeline back to approximately nine months to a year.According to the Wall Street Journal, "Big Short" Michael Burry has sold off his entire stake in GameStop (GME.N), after GameStop announced its intention to acquire eBay (EBAY.O).Bank of Canada Governor Macklem: With Federal Reserve Chairman nominee Warsh now serving as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, I believe the Feds culture and behavior will continue as they have been.US President Trump: Hundreds of millions of barrels of oil are flowing out of Venezuela.On May 5th, New York Federal Reserve President Williams stated that the Feds current accommodative stance reflects the likely long-term direction of monetary policy, while inflation dynamics have not yet reached the point where a rate hike needs to be discussed. Speaking to reporters after a speech in New York City, Williams said, "I dont see any indication from todays data that a rate hike is necessary in the near term." However, he added that given the current level of uncertainty, he believes "we cannot yet provide clear guidance on the direction of interest rates at the next few meetings."

USD / CAD Price Analysis: As US Inflation decelerates, the recovery move to approximately 1.3700 appears vulnerable

After declining to approximately 1.3650, the USD / CAD pair has made a less certain rebound move. A deceleration in U.S. inflation suggests a further decline in demand for safe-haven assets in the aftermath of the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failure, putting the Loonie asset in jeopardy near 1.3700.

 

According to CNBC, Moody's Investors Service has lowered its prognosis on the entire banking system from stable to negative, causing S&P500 futures to decline in the early Asian session. The situation reveals a minor pessimism in the general risk-taking disposition.

 

As US inflation continues to decline, the Federal Reserve (Fed) will likely continue to raise interest rates at a slowing rate. Inflation in the United States is falling in accordance with expectations, so Fed Chairman Jerome Powell should not hurry to tighten monetary policy further.

 

USD / CAD has recovered after detecting a cushion close to the horizontal support derived from the March 1 high at 1.3659 on a two-hour scale. The dearth of conviction and fortitude in the US Dollar's recovery increases the likelihood of further asset losses.

 

The 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3710 may continue to act as a barrier for the US Dollar.

 

In the interim, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) has protected the decline into the bearish 20.00 to 40.00 range. However, the negative bias is still evident.

 

A conclusive breach of the low of March 14 at 1.3652 would push the currency toward the low of March 07 at 1.3600, then the low of March 03 at 1.3555.

 

In an alternative scenario, a confident recovery above the high of March 14 at 1.3750 would propel the major toward the highs of March 13 above 1.3800 and March 09 at 1.3835.
