GBP performed the worst last week, as UK data disappointed a lot, Average earning felt to 2.8% from 3.0% expected, CPI felt to 2.5% from 2.7% expected, retail sales felt -1.2% from -0.5% expected, MPC Gov disappointed GBP as he doubts about further rate hikes, Next week Prelim GDP will be in focus, in other hand,

khalidamassi avatar

CAD performed worst last week, BOC decision and statement was not encouraging as BOC still suspected that inflation still temporary and still worry about US measures against Canada, CPI data also was not helpful and ensured BOC thought about inflation, lack of significant data next week but BOC Gov Boloz will speak on Monday.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair lost bullish momentum but still found buyers around 1.7750, be careful.

khalidamassi avatar

GBP was the worst last week as it got a hit from so low GDP q/q which came at 0.1% VS 0.3% expected and last quarter reading revised lower to 0.4% with last 0.5%, this drop on GDP figures seemed to freeze next BOE rate hike, next week focus will be on Manufacturing PMI, Construction PMI and Services PMI, in other hand,  CAD performed worst last week Vs majors, no significant data was last week but Wholesale Sales was -0.8% worse than expected at +0.3%, Next week will be important for CAD as we wait GDP m/m and then Trade Balance data.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair broke below critical 1.7800, sentiment turned to strong bearish.

Failing around 1.8050, now holds around 1.7750, 1.7700 may seen as support in the near term view.

khalidamassi avatar

GBP performed well VS majors with no significant data last week, next week will be so important with CPI data Employment real earning data and next Thursday MPC official bank rate will be so important and any hint will be big mover for GBP, in other hand, CAD performed worst VS majors, with no significant data last week but manufacturing sales fell -1.0% VS -0.8% expected, CAD still under pressure due to expected trade wars from US, next week CPI and retails sales data will be the most important.

khalidamassi avatar

as expected in chart, pair still strong bullish and still aiming new highs, should be capped below 1.8350-1.8400.

khalidamassi avatar

Still below 1.8100 but 1.1830 still seen as support for next time, consolidation may happen around current levels.

Pair still in range between 1.7350 and 1.7650 but in overall pair still in bullish sentiment.

khalidamassi avatar

GBP performed week especially after better than expected CPI which came at +3.0% VS 2.9% and this still expected to put pressure on BOE to hike rate again at MAY meeting, in other hand, CAD did not perform well as still affected by last week employment data and lower oil prices and NATFA issue still to be driver for CAD movement.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair up again and near to expected target at 1.7600, still expected to move more up but in less pace...

khalidamassi avatar

GPB performance last week was mixed as claimant count change came at -7.2K better than 2.3K expected but unemployment rise to 4.4% from 4.3% expected, GDP estimate decreased to 0.4% from 0.5% expected but next about EU-UK agreement and May’s speech next Friday gave life for GBP at last hours of the week, in other hand, CAD hit last week by most majors as Core retail sales were so bad as it came at -1.8% VS 0.1% expected, but after Strong CPI date at 0.7% VS 0.4% expected, pair recovered most of the week losses.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair still up as 1.7600 area now considered as support, and pair still expected to move higher as no reversal sign appeared till now.

GBP pushed up to highest level since “referendum day” after news that Netherlands and Spain agreed to make UK exit from EU as smooth as can and this means soft Brexit and this pushed GBP for higher rates, In other hand, CAD dollar still helped strongly with strong gains of oil, CAD but expected US exit from NATFA agreement put strong pressure on CAD and this still expected to weight in the near future.

khalidamassi avatar

Pair found a abase around 1.6750 bfore climbing towrds 1.7100 and above, bulls in control and 1.6900 is the key for bulls which they should fight to keep.

khalidamassi avatar

GBP pushed up to highest level since “referendum day” as Macron (France) and May (UK) coordinated to make smooth Brexit dear for UK, all of this means soft Brexit which help GBP versus all majors, In other hand, CAD dollar got a boost from BOC rate hike and still helped with oil gains but worries about NATFA agreement put strong pressure on CAD and this still expected to weight in the near future.

khalidamassi avatar

As expcected pair broke up 1.7150 and now ready to 1.7500 as expected in scenario chart.

khalidamassi avatar

on of the best expecstion for the month except that pair exceeded 1.7500 to 1.7630 but then failed again and closed week around 1.7400, pair may play around 1.7400-1.7600 for the last days of the month.

Up and down between 1.7000 and 1.7450, still expect to move in the range for some time...

khalidamassi avatar

GBP got a boost after news of Brexit process development but May’s problems and lack of confidence make the next steps so hard and this affect GBP aggressively.In other hand, CAD still vulnerable due to lower oil prices and lower GDP in last quarter but BOC still optimistic but this not persuade CAD investors so much.

khalidamassi avatar

Failed at 1.7450 and holds in the last days around 1.7150 and just clear break above 1.7200 open the door for 1.7400 again.

khalidamassi avatar

GBP lost ground as more complicated details to come soon after partial success in UK deal with EU, GBP still not benefited from May’s weak situation in Government, In other hand,CAD dollar was helped at week beginning with strong CPI and retails sales numbers but then lagged by lower GDP data and with dovish speech by BOC Governor.

khalidamassi avatar

Still moving between 1.7000 and 1.7250 and still around expected scenario, close again above 1.7200 will help pair to achieve 1.7450 again.
