In the U.S. currency market yesterday, the Canadian dollar showed a strong downward trend against the yen, despite the release of Canada’s August GDP data, which showed a year-over-year growth rate of 0.9%, down from 1.1% the previous month. The CAD/JPY pair rose by approximately 160 pips, from 107.699 to 109.350.This marked a significant uptrend along the 10-period moving average (MA) on the hourly chart. With BOC Governor MacRem’s remarks scheduled for later today, we will be closely monitoring whether his comments impact price movements.
European currencies saw the euro trade in a range against the U.S. dollar following the release yesterday of preliminary European Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) data, which showed a sharp decline from 4.3% to 2.9% year-over-year.The EUR/USD pair rose to 1.0674 before plummeting. It eventually fell well below yesterday’s low of 1.0590, dropping to 1.0557. Since the daily chart showed a bearish candle with an upper shadow, traders should remain cautious about whether the euro will decline against the yen during U.S. trading hours.
