Canadian Dollar remains steady on Monday, Bank of Canada CPI inflation approaching

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) experienced a mixed day on Monday, starting off higher but then facing a pullback during the American trading session. This lack of momentum was attributed to Canadian markets being closed for the Victoria Day holiday. However, CAD traders are gearing up for the Bank of Canada’s latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation report, which will set the tone for the trading week on Tuesday.

In the absence of Canadian market activity, Fedspeak dominated the headlines on Monday as Federal Reserve (Fed) officials made various appearances. The Fed is currently walking a tightrope between hawkish and bullish sentiments, trying to manage market expectations for rate cuts alongside a mixed economic data outlook. Although there are concerns about inflation levels, investors are anticipating a rate cut in September.

The daily market movers involved the Canadian Dollar making gains against various major currencies, with the exception of the Greenback. The New Zealand Dollar was the only currency that the CAD outperformed. Fed speakers emphasized the need for patience in assessing rate moves, especially considering the high inflation levels expected to persist. Canada’s CPI inflation rate for April is anticipated to decrease slightly to 2.7%, with the BoC’s Core CPI tracking at 2.0% YoY.

The technical analysis highlighted how the Canadian Dollar had performed well against most major currencies but still faced challenges on Monday. USD/CAD remained relatively stable but struggled to break through key technical barriers, including the 1.3600 handle. The intraday and daily charts showed a lack of strong bullish momentum, indicating a neutral stance for the USD/CAD pair in the short term.

Looking ahead, investors are eagerly awaiting the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data by Statistics Canada on Tuesday. This monthly report details changes in prices for Canadian consumers and is a key indicator affecting the strength of the Canadian Dollar (CAD). A high reading is typically seen as positive for the CAD, while a low reading could have a negative impact on the currency. The consensus for the upcoming release is set at 2.7%, compared to the previous rate of 2.9%.

In conclusion, the Canadian Dollar showed resilience in the face of mixed market conditions on Monday, with potential for further gains pending the release of the CPI inflation data on Tuesday. USD/CAD technical levels suggested a neutral outlook in the short term, with key barriers limiting bullish momentum. The upcoming economic indicator release will likely provide more clarity on the CAD’s direction in the coming days, as investors continue to monitor Fedspeak and market sentiment for cues on future rate moves.
