USD - The dollar continue to search for support but it remains weak. There is no indication yet from any of the pairs that the USD is ready to resume its up move, only GOLD price did stop its march higher and stalled. If the Trump starts to make good on his promises then we might see swift turn around of the USD price and should become stronger.
CAD - The looney remains relatively strong not only supported by the Oil price but also from the general strength of the USD. The Canadian Economy is dependent of the US Economy. We continue to be long the CAD.
JPY - The Japanese currency was very strong during the Asian session, after the better than expected data from the trade balance. Possibly this strength will not last and we may see more upside of all JPY pairs as they will follow the indices higher.
EUR - The common currency was trading in tight range. We do expect important data today and if the news are better than expected this might support the Euro. We do remain bearish for the currency due to fundamental factors.
