USD/CAD moves to daily low: Ivey PMI retreats less than expected
The Ivey Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) in Canada, which measures the month-to-month variation in economic activity, dropped to 56.8 (seasonally adjusted) in April from 58.2 in March. However, this was a smaller drop than the market had expected, with the consensus forecast at 54.8. Following the release of the data, USD/CAD initially moved towards daily lows but later largely ignored the figures. The pair was last seen trading modestly higher on the day at 1.3615.
However, the USD/CAD is still in a bearish trend, and the recent price action suggests that the pair could resume its decline. Furthermore, the USD Index is trading within a tight range in the low-101.00s, and the loss of 101.00 could expose a move to the year-to-date low.
