So the first drop in commodities was the result of a report from chinas bank saying they won’t ease monetary policy… The second drop was from poor retail sales figures and company operating profits from Australia…
I can’t kick myself too much as chinas report could not be anticipated… I probably should have waited until after Aussies release though.
there was a big dairy auction today in new zealand… that is what that big spike upwards was… I was just there a few months ago… nothing but cattle and sheep… so it would make sense.
Looks to me like the Usdcad is building a base at .9850… I will long at .98525, sl at .9843 and TP at the hourly 100 sma.
Another supporting factor is it is a US holiday today, so unlikely to see a break of this support on light volumes.
The ISM manufacturing PMI tomorrow morning can move the market so if I’m not in this trade by tonight, I will cancel the order and wait until after the release.
