The bulls were rescued by the broad-based US dollar comeback, lifting the USD/CAD pair off the lows to now trade above the 1.33 handle amid mixed US and Canadian macro news.

US annualized Core CPI arrives at 2.4%, matches estimates

The spot is seen making recovery attempts, mainly driven the renewed strength around the Treasury yields across the curve that in turn collaborated to the bounce in the US dollar from weekly lows vs. its main competitors.

Fresh optimism appears to have sparked-in ahead of the US data, as the US-China trade talks get underway and market hopeful of some kind of agreement being reached today. Meanwhile, markets have shrugged off the mixed US CPI figures and upbeat Canadian New House Pricing Index, as the focus solely remains on the developments surrounding the trade talks for near-term trading impetus.

On the CAD-side of the equation, the latest uptick in oil prices seems to have little to no impact on the resource-linked Loonie. Oil prices caught a fresh bid-wave amid heightened Turkey-Syria tensions and trade hopes.

With the fresh leg higher, the buyers now aim to regain the 1.3350 barrier, however, the developments around the trade talks will likely determine the next price direction.

EUR/USD looks sidelined around 1.1850

EUR/USD remains on the back foot, extending its bearish tone and sliding towards the 1.1850 area to print fresh daily lows on Monday. The move lower comes as the US Dollar gathers modest traction, with thin liquidity and subdued volatility amplifying price swings amid the US market holiday.

GBP/USD flirts with daily lows near 1.3630

GBP/USD has quickly given back Friday’s solid gains, turning lower at the start of the week and drifting back towards the 1.3630 area. The focus now shifts squarely to Tuesday’s UK labour market report, which is likely to keep the quid firmly in the spotlight and could set the tone for Cable’s next move.

Gold loses momentum, eases below $5,000

Gold is giving back part of Friday’s sharp rebound, deflating below the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce as the new week gets underway. Modest gains in the US Dollar are keeping the metal in check, while thin trading conditions, due to the Presidents Day holiday in the US, are adding to the choppy and hesitant tone across markets.

Bitcoin consolidates as on-chain data show mixed signals

Bitcoin price has consolidated between $65,700 and $72,000 over the past nine days, with no clear directional bias. US-listed spot ETFs recorded a $359.91 million weekly outflow, marking the fourth consecutive week of withdrawals.

The week ahead: Key inflation readings and why the AI trade could be overdone

It is likely to be a quiet start to the week, with US markets closed on Monday for Presidents Day. European markets are higher across the board and gold is clinging to the $5,000 level after the tamer than expected CPI report in the US reduced haven flows to precious metals.

XRP steadies in narrow range as fund inflows, futures interest rise
