Consumer Price Index
On Forex calendar, Statistics Canada is due to release Canada’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report today during the early New York session. CPI is considered a main gauge for Inflation. According to the average forecast of different economists, the CPI in Canada remained 0.8% in May as compared to the same figure in the same month of the year before. Generally speaking, higher CPI reading is considered positive for the economy and vice versa thus a worse than expected actual outcome might incite buying pressure in the price of USDCAD and vice versa.

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around current levels appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term. The trade should however be stopped out on a daily closing below the yesterday’s low.
