USD/CAD unmotivated near 1.1240

USD/CAD focus on US housing data
The pair managed to recover at least half of yesterday’s sell off post-BoC, rebounding from weekly lows near 1.1180 to today’s highs around 1.1260. Looking to tomorrow’s docket in the US economy, the housing sector will be in the spotlight with the release of New Home Sales figures for the month of September. In the view of analysts at TD Securities, “the general trend remains higher but has clearly lost momentum after the heavy selling seen last week and earlier this week. Daily trend support stands at 1.1202 today. A daily close below here would signal more weakness near-term at least”.
