FxWirePro: USD/CAD edges higher, retains bid tone

• USD/CAD edged higiher  on Monday   as weak Canadian employment data and stronger dollar weighed on Canadian dollar.

.•Canada’s labour market weakened for a second consecutive month in September, with employment falling by 68.3K against expectations for a 7K increase. The Unemployment Rate rose to 6.5% from 6.4%.

• The greenback strengthened amid rising tensions in the Middle East, with markets looking ahead to crucial U.S. inflation figures scheduled for release later this week.

• Investors now await Wednesday’s September US CPI report, followed by Thursday’s PPI data for further clues on inflationary pressures.

•  Immediate resistance is located at 1.4319(23.6%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 1.4366(Higher BB.).

• Support is seen at 1.4207 (38.2%fib) and break below could take the pair towards 1.4167 (SMA20).

Recommendation: Good to buy around 1.4270 with stop loss of 1.4200 and target price of 1.4360
