AUD/CAD continues being capped below 0.9650

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The AUD/CAD foreign exchange cross rate is last quoted at bids 0.9637 off recent session highs at 0.9646 a +0.84% higher for the week so far on the back of Aussie strength despite Loonie also showing strength against USD, but not as much as Aussie.

AUD/CAD improving potential for deeper correction towards 0.97

“AUD/CAD bounced from little above 0.9534 support yesterday and the market has been in a more or less one-way street since, retesting the mid 0.96 channel,” said the TD Securities Toronto based FX Research Team, adding: “The top of the rising channel at 0.9648 continues to slow AUD appreciation but short-term momentum remains AUD-supportive and holding above 0.9534 improves potential for a deeper correction towards 0.97/0.99 in the weeks ahead though. The low 0.99 area (site of the major double top breakdown that drove the cross below 0.92 through early August) remains major resistance.”

Flash: NFP not as bad as it seems - Nomura

Despite the 169k print in the latest NFP vs 180k expected, with the most disappointing part being the downward revision of 74k to the two prior months headline figures, according to Nomura Economists, a more in-depth analysis into the data show that approximately 70% of the downward revisions to July's report were primarily concentrated in three sectors: auto and parts manufacturing, federal government and educational workers for state and local governments, thus the downward revision might not represent any fundamental weakness, Nomura notes.
