Analysis and Recommendations:
The USD/CAD is trading at 0.9805, with the dollar gaining some momentum after China’s third-quarter gross domestic product came in at 7.4% growth, on an annual basis—the lowest growth rate since 2009 and the seventh quarter in a row of a decreasing growth rate. The second-quarter GDP number came in at 7.6%, on an annual basis. The latest figure was in line with market expectations. While in Canada, the Wholesale Price Index came in above forecast, giving a bump to the Looney. The US was a bit stronger but mixed after a mixed unemployment release, with higher new claims and lower continuing claims.
