USD/CAD extends its downside below 1.3670, investors await US PCE data

  • USD/CAD remains on the defensive around 1.3655 on Friday amid the weaker USD. 
  • US GDP number expanded by 1.6% on an annualized basis in Q1 2024, compared to 3.4% growth in Q4 2023.
  • The weaker Canadian Retail Sales data triggered speculation that the BoC might start cutting interest rates in June. 

The USD/CAD pair extends its downside near 1.3655 on Friday during the early Asian session. The decline of the US Dollar (USD) to the two-week lows around the mid-105.00s exerts some selling pressure on the pair. Investors now shift their focus to the release of US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index data, due later on Friday. 

The US economy grew at its slowest pace in nearly two years in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024 as prices rose at a faster pace, the Commerce Department revealed on Thursday. The first estimate of US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 1.6% on an annualized basis in the January-March period, compared to a 3.4% growth in Q4 2023. This reading came in below the market consensus of 2.5%. Additionally, US Personal Consumption Expenditures Prices rose at an annualized rate of 3.4% in Q1, nearly double the 1.8% pace recorded in Q4 2023. 

The weaker-than-expected GDP growth and hotter-than-expected inflation weigh on the Greenback and create a headwind for USD/CAD. The markets expect the US Federal Reserve (Fed) to begin the first rate cuts in September, with traders now pointing to just one rate cut in 2024 following the GDP data, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

On the Loonie front, the weaker Canadian Retail Sales data on Wednesday triggered speculation that the Bank of Canada (BoC) might start cutting interest rates at its next meeting in June, which might drag the Canadian Dollar (CAD) lower. Nonetheless, the rebound of crude oil prices provides some support to the CAD, as Canada is the largest crude oil exporter to the United States (US).

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
