Canadian Dollar Posts Another Monthly Decline in FX Trading

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Forex trading with the loonieThe Canadian dollar is posting another monthly decline in FX trading on the currency market as commodities continue to struggle. In forex trading, the loonie has been struggling to maintain parity with the U.S. dollar, and then fallen woefully short.

There is some hope that the current rebound in global equities will pre-sage a rebound in commodities, helping the Canadian dollar in FX trading. However, even should that happen, there is a long way to go for the loonie to catch up with the greenback again.

U.S. Dollar Retains Support in Currency Trading

Greenback holds out agains the euro in forex tradingThe U.S. dollar is retaining its support in currency trading on the FX market this morning, thanks to pledges by the government to continue on the bailout track. Fed policy is not having much of an impact on the greenback in forex trading, even though normally announcements such as interest rate cuts would have a negative effect on the currency.

However, since there is a consensus that something needs to be done, all of these steps to stimulate the economy are being viewed as positive. Traders see that the U.S. government now — and especially under president-elect Barack Obama — is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the economy from complete collapse.

And that is what is helping the U.S. dollar most in currency trading on the FX market.

Euro zone stimulus announcement can’t save euroThe euro zone stimulus package does not appear to be helping much right now in terms of the euro in forex trading. The U.S. dollar continues to gains strength against the 15-nation currency in trading due to the following factors:

  • Deflation
  • Unemployment rate
  • Recession
  • German Ifo

As a result, the ECB is likely to cut interest rates in order to help stimulate the economy, and that probably won’t help the euro much right now in forex trading, either.
