According to the Statistics Canada, Canada Employment Change jumped from the prior month reading\u2019s 10.1K to 104.0K, mirroring the high resiliency of the nation\u2019s labor market. With the backdrop of hot labor data, it provided Bank of Canada (BoC) with much more spaces for rate hike move in the coming meeting. In order to curb the sky-high inflation, the BoC has been raising the interest rate aggressively since Jan 2022. The cash rates have been adjusted upward from the low level at 0.25% to 4.25% as of the meeting in December 2022. On the other sides, the currency pair of USD\/CAD plummeted further after US services sector showed contraction in the month of December. According to the PMI, US Services PMI came in at 49.6, missing the consensus forecast at 55.0. It is noteworthy to highlight that the services sector accounted for two third of the overall US economic activities. As of writing, the pair of USD\/CAD plunged -0.23% to 1.3410.<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, the crude oil price rose by 0.43% to $74.55 per barrel as the weakening of dollar index reduced the cost of oil for the non-US buyers. Besides, the gold prices rose 0.60% to $1877.50 per troy ounce after the US released a weaker-than-expected services PMI data.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Holiday Market Close<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Events<\/u><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Market\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Event<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Today\u2019s Highlight Economic Data<\/u><\/p>\n<p>N\/A<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Technical Analysis<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-296372\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/090123-DOLLAR_INDX-noon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1071\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/090123-DOLLAR_INDX-noon.jpg 1500w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/090123-DOLLAR_INDX-noon-1280x914.jpg 1280w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/090123-DOLLAR_INDX-noon-980x700.jpg 980w, http:\/\/www.gcmasia.co\/analysis\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/090123-DOLLAR_INDX-noon-480x343.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1500px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>DOLLAR_INDX, Daily: <\/strong>Dollar index was traded lower while currently testing the support level at 103.15.
