September 21st - On September 20th, Germany held two local elections: one in the capital Berlin and the other in the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Megrenburg-Western Po). The latest exit polls indicate that the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to win 37% of the vote in the Mecklenburg-Western Po state election; the center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) in the ruling coalition is projected to win 35.5%; and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), led by Chancellor Merz, is projected to win 5.5%, barely crossing the threshold to enter the state parliament—the CDUs worst performance in any state election since 1949. With other major parties refusing to cooperate, the AfDs chances of forming a government in Mecklenburg-Western Po are extremely slim. However, this far-right party has become the largest party in the state parliaments of both German states in the past two weeks. In the Berlin city council elections, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) is projected to win 20% of the vote; the Social Democratic Party (SPD) is expected to win 12%; the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is projected to win 16%, increasing its seat count; and the Left Party is projected to win 24.5%, currently leading. Germany has 16 states, and Berlin is one of three city-states. In the eastern Saxony-Anhalt state elections on September 6th, Merzs CDU suffered a crushing defeat, with its vote share plummeting to around 17%; the AfD won approximately 44% of the vote, becoming the largest party in the state.The U.S. Mission to Saudi Arabia: Due to the ongoing security situation in Saudi Arabia, all U.S. government employees working in Saudi Arabia now require special authorization to travel to the cities of Taif and Yanbu for both official and private purposes.German Chancellor Merz: We need determination, resolve, and patience; as party leader and chancellor, I am ready to do that.

USD/CAD Bears are nearing multi-month support close to $1.3470

USD/CAD sellers eye 1.3520-25 after falling to the lowest levels since February 22 as markets become volatile on Friday ahead of the release of crucial US inflation data. As a result, during the five-day losing sequence, the Loonie duo demonstrates modest losses.

 

However, the successful break below the 50-day moving average and the bearish MACD signals maintain optimism among sellers. The absence of a fatigued RSI (14) line strengthens the bearish bias.

 

Notably, a rising support line from early June 2022, which was near 1.3475 at the time of publication, appears to be a formidable obstacle for USD/CAD bears to surmount. In addition to emphasizing the significance of the 1.3475 level, the decline of the RSI below the 50 level suggests that purchasing near the key support line is likely.

 

The 200-day moving average and an ascending trend line from mid-November 2022 near 1.3375 and 1.3295 could challenge the bears if the Loonie pair breaches the 1.3475 support level.

 

To convince short-term USD/CAD investors, recovery advances require confirmation from the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) resistance of 1.3545.

 

However, the mid-month low around 1.3650-55 and December 2022 highs around 1.3705 can challenge the Loonie pair's further ascent before underscoring the previous yearly high of 1.3977.
