Canadian Dollar Gains Some Ground Against U.S. Dollar

USD/CAD is currently trying to settle back below the support at 1.2785 while the U.S. dollar is flat against a broad basket of currencies.

Trading is nervous today as traders wait for the results of the Fed meeting which will be released tomorrow, and the U.S. Dollar Index is stuck in the 93.10 – 93.40 range. If the U.S. Dollar Index manages to settle below 93.10, it will move towards the support at the 20 EMA at 92.80 which will be bearish for USD/CAD.

Today, foreign exchange market traders had a chance to take a look at Building Permits and Housing Starts reports from U.S. The reports indicated that Building Permits increased by 6% month-over-month in August while Housing Starts grew by 3.9%. Both reports exceeded analyst expectations.

In Canada, New Housing Price Index increased by 0.7% month-over-month in August compared to analyst consensus which called for growth of just 0.3%. On a year-over-year basis, New Housing Price Index grew by 12.2%.
