Analysis and Recommendations:
The USD/CAD is trading at 1.2016 almost at the close of Friday; taking clues from the global Fx markets the pair saw little movement. The day lacked any financial data, news or eco data to move the markets and the political turmoil in the EU was toned down.
Later this week there are a series of US and CAD eco data that should wake this pair up a bit. The markets remain in risk aversion mode.
Sentiment in trade was sanguine after Chinese premier Wen Jiabao stressed the importance of adjusting policies decisively to prevent a rapid economic slowdown. Also, G8 leaders vowed to work closely to tame the crisis in the EU-region and urged Greece to remain in the Euro zone as mounting debt concerns in the region threatens world economy.
