1 July 2022 Afternoon Session Analysis
The Canadian dollar lingered as market sentiment mixed.
The Canadian dollar, which was traded by the majority of the traders, hovered near the level of 1.2875 after Canada released its GDP data yesterday night. According to Statistics Canada, the GDP data commonly used to gauge the economic growth in Canada came in at 0.3%, as widely expected. Following the release of the data, the Canadian dollar notched up, before falling quite a fair bit amid the downbeat economic growth expectation from the agency. The agency said the growth estimate for May pointed to a contraction for the month amid the weakness in the resource, manufacturing and construction sectors, where a contraction of about -0.2% is recked to happen. However, the primary trend of the pair of USD/CAD is still dominated by the Fed rate hike story. As of writing, the pair of USD/CAD up 0.12% to 1.2888.
In the commodities market, the crude oil price was up by 0.05% to $106.05 after falling tremendously throughout the overnight session amid the increase in oil production of OPEC+ despite tight oil supply. Besides, the gold prices dropped 0.10% to $1805.40 a troy ounce amid the strengthening of the dollar index.
