Don’t miss this month’s edition of the George Davis Report, where George updates the latest tariff developments and examines USD/CAD from a technical perspective

What you need to know:

1

The US administration increased tariff levels on Canadian exports in early August.

2

While the average effective tariff rate has increased as a result, Canada remains in a better competitive position than most other countries.

3

Bullish momentum has eroded for USD/CAD after prices pierced a key 4-year support trendline in June.

4

The resulting bearish trend reversal favours fading rallies to the 1.3850/1.4000 area going forward.

5

An even more important long-term support trendline near 1.3350 is now coming into view after June’s trend reversal.

For the trading range:

USD/CAD

Buyers

1.3500/1.3600

Sellers

1.3900/1.4000
