COZfx: USD/CAD slips to 8 day lows

[kiriss5678]

COZforex: The US dollar slipped to the lowest level in 8 days against the Canadian dollar in early US trade on Wednesday amid growing uncertainty over the timing of a reduction in Federal Reserve stimulus.

In technical analysis, coz forex senior derivatives trader Daniel • Moloney said, USD/CAD is predicted to find support at 1.0588, and a drop through could take it to the next support line of 1.0571. Meanwhile, the pair is predicted to find its first resistance at 1.0635, and a rise through could take it to the next resistance line of 1.0665.

The dollar slipped amid fresh doubts over whether the Fed will taper its USD85 billion-a-month asset purchase program at its December 17-18 policy meeting, despite last week’s stronger-than-forecast US nonfarm payrolls report for November.

The dollar shrugged off news that US Congressional leaders reached an agreement on a two year budget deal on Tuesday. Congress will still need to reach a deal to raise the US debt ceiling in February 2014 in order to avert a default.

The Canadian dollar’s gains were capped by concerns that the subdued domestic inflation outlook may prompt the Bank of Canada to keep interest rates on hold for longer.
