FxWirePro: Currency Weekly Outlook

US Dollar index was trading extremely weak and lost more than 100 pips in the previous week on easing US-China trade tension and Brexit optimism. EU and UK have agreed for a new deal on Friday but UK MPs deeply divided over Brexit and voted in favor to withhold approval of deal (322 in favor and 306 against). The index hits a low of 97.14 and is currently trading around 97.35.

 

On the data front, US retail sales and Philly fed manufacturing index came much weaker than expected. The retails sales declined -0.3% much worse than the forecast of 0.1%, Philly index was 5.6 vs estimate 7.3.

 

Canadian CPI y/y came steadily at 1.9% compared to a estimate of 1.8%, which has further reduced the chance of a rate cut by BOC.

 

The yellow metals are consolidating after a dip till $1476 and markets eyes Brexit, US-China trade talks for further direction. Any break below $1458 confirms bearish continuation.

 

US 10-year yield is trading slightly higher and any break above 1.907% will take it further up till 2%. The spread between yield has widened to 16 bps.
