Forex: USD/CAD extending the decline, around 1.0130

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The Canadian dollar continues to strengthen against the greenback, dragging the cross to fresh 6-week lows in the boundaries of 1.0130 from 8-month highs at the beginning of March around 1.0350.

“Daily trend channel support (1.0134) plus retracement support (1.0138) are under pressure… Weakness below 1.0125/30 may see the current push lower pick up some momentum. We have been looking for sub-1.01 levels over the past week, with 1.0085/90 the next support zone to really focus on below here”, suggested the FX research team at TD Securities.

At the moment, USD/CAD is down 0.10% at 1.0137
Next support levels align at 1.0125 (low Apr.2) followed by 1.0102 (low Feb.19) and then 1.0055 (low Feb.18).
On the flip side, a breakout of 1.0155 (high Apr.3) would aim for 1.0169 (high Apr.2) and finally 1.0181 (MA10d).

Forex Flash: USD/JPY buying rational runs deep – UBS

Investors have bought the USD/JPY this year for many reasons. “However, the prospect of the Bank of Japan hitting its new 2% inflation target within two years is one of those reasons – luckily it is not the only one, because generating and then sustaining a 2% inflation rate in Japan seems challenging to say the least.” Notes Research Analyst Gareth Berry at UBS. Even Prime Minister Abe who initially championed the cause conceded yesterday that the target might not be reached at all.

This movement comes on the heels of weak ADP employment data, which marked a stark departure (158K vs. 200K projected) from previous figures. Prolonged stability below the 1560 support could signal a downtrend in the near-term.
