USD/CAD to retest 1.3440/1.3450 on a move below support at 1.3540/1.3550 – Scotiabank

USD/CAD is little changed on the session so far. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s outlook.

Risks tilted mildly to the downside

A lower close to the USD on Friday tilts risks mildly to the downside for funds from a technical point of view. 

At the very least, spot is looking at pretty solid resistance at 1.3600/1.3605 after clear rejections of the figure area last week. 

The USD’s mild drop Friday also formed the third leg of a bearish ‘evening star’ pattern on the daily candle chart which should see spot put a bit more pressure on moderate support at 1.3540/1.3550 in the short run and, below there, point to a test of 1.3440/1.3450.

Silver breaks $64 as precious metals rebound — can gold hold the $4,280 line into the Fed decision?Silver has climbed back above $64 an ounce for the first time this week, leading a broad rebound across precious metals hours before the Federal Reserve delivers what is expected to be its first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver was last at $64.64, up 1.49% on the day, while gold reclaimed $4,300 and platinum and palladium both advanced. The question now is whether the bounce is a genuine turn — or a pause before the Fed's dot plot decides the next move.
