Current trend
Yesterday the pair showed choppy dynamics and slightly fell from local highs. The pair however still receives support amid market expectations of an interest rate increase at the Fed’s December meeting.
At the same time the pair remains under pressure due to many macroeconomic publications that are due this week in the US and Canada. Today the third quarter GDP data is due in Canada, the BoC Interest Rate Decision is out on Wednesday, and on Friday the labour market data will be published in both the US and Canada.
