On Friday afternoon the Canadian October jobs report was the main economic release of any note. It was rather mixed though, because the lower than expected payroll count (+14.5k compared to expected 27k) was countered by the fact that the unemployment rate did not increase to 6.6% as expected. It remained at 6.5%. So, the USD/CAD rejected a fall below 1.3822 and later rebounded to a session high at 1.3928, before later closing at 1.3912. That meant the noted, potential double top on the daily charts (1.3959) was not confirmed by a break below 1.3822. At the same time though, that 1.3959 price point was not put to the test. The price action overnight and so far this morning has seen a range covered by 1.3894 to 1.3927. So, as you can see, the noted range (1.3822-1.3959) has remained thoroughly intact. The question again this week, is will the stronger US Dollar dynamic win out, or will the technical outlook help the Canadian dollar to resist a break above 1.3959? The USD/CAD is currently trading at 1.3912
