UPDATE 9: U.S. dollar ended the year on a softer note. The dollar index posted its lowest monthly close since 2014. Expectations of other major central banks following Fed into hawkish direction began to outweigh the still present monetary policy divergence.

UPDATE 10: USD/CAD broke and closed below 1.25 yesterday and stalled there. The level is part of a wider 1.24 - 1.25 support area. Today's labour market reports from both U.S. and Canada will have a big say in whether we'll get a continuation or a pullback from here.

UPDATE 11: BOC Business Outlook Survey, released about an hour ago, was upbeat on the economy. Rate hike odds ticked further up. USD/CAD, however, is in the process of correcting Friday's outsized fall. 1.24 is the initial support and 1.245 the resistance.

UPDATE 12: Bank of Canada meets today and virtually everyone expects a hike. A cautious hike is indeed the most likely scenario, though I wouldn't rule out a hawkish hold. There should be a big market reaction in either case. 1.26 area is the first stronger resistance and 1.23 the support.

UPDATE 13: Bank of Canada hiked overnight rate for the third time in this cycle. Market reaction was messy. There appears to have been a leak which prompted sell-the-fact trade about 20 seconds before the release. Price then whipsawed in a 150-pip range before settling in the middle. 1.24 is the initial support, 1.25 the resistance.

Loonie to break 1.30 in December

UPDATE 5: Fed hiked three times this year, which is at least one hike more than markets expected at the start of the year. FOMC's dot plot implies three hikes in 2018, markets are again not that hawkish. With so much money in the system and stock market seemingly engineered to go just up, federal funds rate could end up much higher than anyone expects. On the other hand, stock market bears have become surprisingly quiet.

UPDATE 6: U.S. dollar ended the week higher against yen, marginally lower against franc and lower against other major currencies. Even though monetary policy divergence is still in force, some of the recent trades have most certainly been made with convergence, which already started this year, in mind.

UPDATE 7: Next week might easily end up being the least active week of the year. But otherwise subdued periods have often proved quite volatile in recent years. "Expect the unexpected" is one saying that is useful to always keep in mind in trading business.

UPDATE 8: The dollar started this holiday-shortened week on the back foot. Pullback in U.S. treasury bond yields and rally in commodities have been two drivers. Year-end position squaring could result to some messy price action into the end of the week.

USD/CAD appears headed towards 1.30

UPDATE 5: U.S. dollar ended the week lower against European currencies and yen, and higher against commodity bloc. If we look at these currencies from the yield perspective, it was actually a typical risk-off week, albeit with reduced volatility.

UPDATE 6: Loonie was one of the movers in a relatively subdued day. Some progress with NAFTA talks was reportedly used as an excuse to sell USD/CAD down to 1.275 after the pair rejected prices above the strong resistance at 1.2825 in the European morning. OPEC meetings tomorrow are worth keeping an eye one.

UPDATE 7: FOMC Minutes highlighted the division among officials on inflation outlook, though majority still think it will ultimately pick up. December hike is virtually a done deal but what comes after that will increasingly hinge on inflation progress. The U.S. dollar was sold ahead of and after the release.

UPDATE 8: Weaker than expected retail sales report led to a 40-pip jump in USD/CAD yesterday. The pair held onto gains and is following through today. 1.2665 - 1.2825 range still in play. It's been a catch-up week for WTI oil with BRENT taking a bit of a breather it seems.

UPDATE 9: Progress on U.S. tax reform, better than expected GDP revision and Janet Yellen with some hawkish comments have all been welcomed by the dollar bulls. Yet the currency struggled to make any significant headway. Markets have continuously underestimated Fed's resolve to normalize rates in this cycle.

Cable to remain in 1.25 - 1.30 range for now

UPDATE 6: It was a mixed week for the U.S. dollar. The No.1 reserve currency finally got some traction against European currencies. Dovish ECB and U.K. voters, going against PM May's and indeed market expectations, contributed fundamental background for the technical weakness to play out. The dollar was flat against the yen and the Canadian dollar but it fell short compared to the Antipodean currencies. Next week brings four major central bank meetings, namely Fed, SNB, BOE and BOJ. The Fed is widely expected to hike interest rate corridor by further 25 basis points.

UPDATE 7: The FOMC was surprisingly hawkish yesterday. They hiked federal funds rate by 25 basis points, as expected, and outlined strategy for reducing their balance sheet. FOMC chair Yellen told reporters that the balance sheet adjustment could begin "relatively soon". Just a couple of hours before the FOMC decision, both inflation and retail sales reports came in weak and markets sold U.S. dollar on speculation that the FOMC will postpone hiking until data improves. The dollar recovered and followed through today.

UPDATE 8: Cable had a pretty volatile week. It started with an outside down day on Monday. On Tuesday the pair fell more than a cent, after Carney uttered his "now is not time to raise rates". Then on Wednesday it snapped back after BOE dove Haldane revealed that he nearly voted for a hike. Thursday was a sideways (accumulation?) day and the pair extended gains today, touching 1.274 shortly after London open. 1.265 - 1.27 should attract some buyers if this rally is to continue. 1.275 - 1.28 is where sellers may be lurking.

UPDATE 9: Currency markets were relatively sedate this week. Major pairs traded in 100-pip ranges with exception of Cable whose range exceeded 200 pips. With no big events on the agenda until September, it's possible that we'll be seeing somewhat slower activity throughout the summer. That said, there's always opportunity in at least some pairs and timeframes, and we must always expect the unexpected. Central bank speakers will continue to dominate in the week ahead and markets will be positioning for their next moves in the coming weeks.

UPDATE 10: Cable jumped a cent yesterday after BOE governor Mark Carney's commented that "some removal of stimulus likely to be needed as spare capacity erodes". There was some follow through overnight. U.S. dollar weakness across the board helps to sustain those gains. The pair is trading just below 1.30 big figure level which is the initial target ahead of May high near 1.3050. A break above that is not all that unlikely in the days ahead. 1.29 - 1.2925 should hold if this rally still has some legs.
