USD/CAD - Rebound running on fumes ahead of Canadian employment data
US jobless claims no longer trending lower Canadian unemployment expected to rise again USDCAD running low on momentum near key resistance The US dollar has performed well recently, buoyed by some strong US economic figures that have forced traders to pare back rate cut expectations.

While it's still likely to fluctuate furthe

A modest silver lining for China and Hong Kong stock markets
China's CPI continued to deflate in January to -0.8% y/y from -0.3% y/y in December 2023 while the pace of contraction has slowed slightly in PPI (factory gate prices) to -2.5% y/y from -2.7% y/y in December. The spread of PPI over CPI has widened which in turn may see a turnaround in the current negative profitability growth rate of China’s industrial enterprises. Technical analysis suggests the minor countertrend rally in the Hang Seng Index may extend.

GBP/USD - A bearish reversal at a key Fib level?

EUR/AUD Technical: AUD weakness stalling after RBA's cautionary stance on inflation
Despite a recent slowdown in Australia’s monthly CPI for December 2023, the Australian central bank, RBA has chosen to remain on the cautious side and push back rate cut expectations. RBA’s monetary policy statement has stated that service inflation may remain sticky on the high side, and overall inflation may take some time to reach RBA’s target of 2% to 3%. Last week’s AUD weakness against the US dollar has started to taper off intraday, supported by the renewed hawkish vibes from RBA.

GBP/USD - Breaks key support amid strong US economic figures
Traders pare rate cut expectations after strong US data UK households remain cautious with spending in December GBPUSD breaks quadruple top neckline The US economy is going from strength to strength, complicating the Federal Reserve's intentions to cut interest rates multiple times this year.
