Prices fell to 53.8 from 60.6

Forex QUICK: AUDUSD tests 200 hour MA target at 0.8540 and finds sellers

Canada Building Permits fall 10.8% in May

Posted: 06 Jul 2010 05:32 AM PDT

This is the 5th decline in 7 months

Residential fell 5.3% which non-residential fell 18.3%.  This should lead to a weaker CAD$/higher USDCAD. So far the move higher has been modest however. This may end up disappointing the bulls in USDCAD.

Canada Building Permits due at 8:30 AM.

Posted: 06 Jul 2010 05:29 AM PDT

USDCAD had a successful test fothe 100 hour MA and moved back lower (at 1.0615 - see earlier commentary by clicking here). A break below 1.0554 is the next hurdle for the pair.

Bobbys Corner-Open Market-July.6.2010

bob-slade-forex-2-150x200Good Morning:

The US is back in business after the long July 4Th holiday.  Yesterday we were open, but it was a very quiet day.

Positive economic news from Australia, along with the RBA leaving interest rates unchanged helped the Aussie rally in overnight trading.  The RBA does not seem as concerned about the global recovery as the rest of the marketplace does. They are more concerned with the needs from China and Asia-as this region dictates Australia’s economy more than the rest of the world.  
The USD andf JPY lost ground as the rally in equities lowered demand for the safe refuge of these currencies.

World equity markets are higher-and US Futures are also pointing to a higher opening this morning.
Global stocks have gained as analysts have raised earnings estimates for many US companies at the fastest pace since 2004.  S%P companies are looking at a 34% increase in 2010-according to reports in Bloomberg.

Oil:$72.96                                   Gold:$1208.40

Eur/Usd is up nearly 90 points from its earlier low of 1.2480. the pair is currently attempting to break above the 38.2% fibo retracement of move down from April 12 high of 1.3691 to June 7 low of 1.1870.
