Today’s economic releases and events are crucial for the USD/CAD pair’s price action. Canada will release its Foreign Securities Purchases data, which previously stood at 41.16B. For the US, significant data includes Building Permits and Housing Starts, both anticipated to have slight changes, and the Industrial Production m/m expected to decrease from 0.9% to 0.3%. Additionally, the speeches from FOMC members and the release of the Beige Book can create significant volatility. These fundamental factors, combined with the current technical analysis, could influence the USD/CAD trading signals and price prediction, potentially validating the bearish outlook for the Loonie. Traders should closely monitor these developments as they might present opportunities or risks for the USD/CAD forex pair.
