US President Trump: Iran will no longer be able to mock the United States.According to Saudi media alhadath, citing Israeli media reports, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will speak with US President Trump by phone tonight.The Azov Brigade of Ukraine claimed that it used AI-assisted drones to strike deep into Russian-controlled Mariupol, hitting targets 160 kilometers behind the front lines. The Azov Brigade stated that this was a symbolic "return" to the city.On May 11, French President Emmanuel Macron, who was visiting Kenya on May 10, stated that France had "never considered" any "deployment" in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to plans by France and the UK to send additional warships to the Red Sea and the waters surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Gharibabadi posted on social media on May 10 that any external military deployment under the guise of "protecting shipping" would "no less exacerbate the crisis and militarize this crucial waterway." Only Iran can guarantee the security of the strait and will not allow any country to interfere.On May 11, following reports that Iran had responded to the US ceasefire proposal, Sultan Barakat, a professor at Hamad bin Khalifa University in Qatar, warned against expecting a swift breakthrough in negotiations. Barakat stated that a comprehensive peace agreement is still a long way off, and this should not be considered the end of the US-Iran conflict for an extended period. He pointed out that Iran has accumulated considerable resentment during the war; the deaths of its supreme leader and his family, numerous senior officials, and the immense destruction caused by the war have made it difficult for the Iranian people to trust the United States. However, both sides hope to extend the ceasefire as long as possible and use it as a starting point for gradually resolving various issues through negotiations. Barakat noted that Iran initially hoped for a comprehensive peace agreement but has now shifted to a phased approach. He speculated that Iran might want to restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and propose a joint oversight plan with the US.

Amid tumultuous market conditions, the USDCAD is trading near 1.3450 ahead of Wednesday's European session. In addition to covid concerns from China and a cautious disposition before of significant data/events, the closure of the United States government has restricted the Loonie pair's recent fluctuations.

 

However, weakening prices of Canada's principal export, especially WTI Crude Oil, support USDCAD bulls. As of press time, the energy benchmark has decreased for three consecutive trading days, falling 0.85% intraday to approximately $87.75.

 

Aside from this, the US Dollar Index (DXY) shows small increases near 109.70 despite mounting fears of a US government deadlock due to the outcomes of the most recent election. In addition to articles anticipating a six-month high in China's covid rate and additional virus-driven lockdowns, the market's concerns and the USDCAD exchange rate may be heightened.

 

S&P 500 Futures struggle to replicate Wall Street's advances, as US 10-year Treasury rates stay bearish despite breaking a four-day downturn the previous day.

 

The uncertainty around Thursday's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October and a speech by the Governor of the Bank of Canada (BOC), Tiff Macklem, provides a challenge to pair purchasers, it should be noted. Recent inconsistent US numbers and Fedspeak, as well as the BOC's delaying of rate hikes, may be to blame.

 

A one-week-old descending trend line depicts the current USDCAD decline. The bearish MACD signal and the obvious breach of the preceding support line from the beginning of October also provide sellers with optimism. In addition, the bearish picture is strengthened by the pair's continued trading below the 200-SMA.
