The bank will announce its policy decision later this week. The minutes repeatedly stressed the side effects of rising borrowing costs, widely seen as a way for the committee to signal an impending policy adjustment while minimizing market volatility. For example, in the minutes of its June 2022 meeting, the committee stated that "it is necessary to assess whether corporate credit demand will remain strong in the context of rising interest rates." Approximately three weeks later, the central bank implemented its first-ever 50-basis-point interest rate hike. This time, the minutes followed a similar pattern, providing new clues about the direction of monetary policy ahead of Thursdays interest rate decision. The committee warned that as borrowing costs rise, the financial difficulties of vulnerable sectors will inevitably worsen; while providing fiscal support, financial institutions should strengthen loan reviews, and companies should also proceed with restructuring.July 14 - According to Iranian media reports on the 14th, the headquarters of the U.S. Navys Fifth Fleet in Bahrain was attacked by Iranian missiles.

USD/CAD Price Analysis: Retracement Moves Seek Confirmation at 1,3000

USD/CAD consolidates recent advances while retreating from its highest level since November 2020, reaching a fresh intraday low around 1.3010 during the Asia session on Friday.

 

In doing so, the Loonie pair depicts a pullback from a four-day-old resistance line, which was near 1.3080 at the time of publication.

 

Given that the downward-sloping RSI (14) line is not oversold, the most recent price downturn may continue for a while longer before reaching any important support.

 

However, a junction of the 100-HMA and a one-week-old ascending trend line at 1.2995 is a formidable obstacle for USD/CAD bears.

 

In the event that the price falls below 1.2995, various levels surrounding 1.2920-10, including the high from early May and the 200-hour moving average, will attract pair sellers.

 

In contrast, a decisive breach of the aforementioned short-term resistance line of 1.3080 would require confirmation from the 1.3100 level before going for the peak of 1.3172 in late November 2020.

 

In conclusion, USD/CAD decline is not indicative of a trend reversal until the quotation breaks 1.2920.
