Manufacturing Sales Slide

Canadian manufacturing sales declined by 0.2% in September, down from 0.8% a month earlier. This marked the third decline in the past four months. The weak release underscores trouble in the manufacturing sector, which has been hampered by weak global growth and the U.S-China trade war. This has boosted USD to CAD.

Traders should note that both the 200-EMA and 50-EMA are relevant. The 200-EMA is currently situated just above the pair and is acting as short-term relief. Close by, there is immediate resistance at 1.3250, but USD/CAD is not showing much appetite to challenge this line. This is followed by resistance at 1.3300.
