USD/CAD analysis on September 13, 2022
On Tuesday, the downward dynamics of USD/CAD persists. The sellers are aimed to hold below the support 1.3000, although yesterday by the end of the session the buyers were able to intercept the initiative and quickly pushed the quotation away from the local minimum.
Probably the Canadian dollar would have had more chances to succeed, but the Canadian labor market report released on Friday deprived the "Loonie" of that support. Employment fell by 39.7 thousand in August, while the forecast was for an increase of 15.0 thousand. The unemployment rate rose from 4.9% to 5.4%. On the positive side, the average hourly earnings rose from 5.44% to 5.8% and the capacity utilization rate increased.
