The Canadian Dollar had a poor week, falling 2.44 percent against the U.S. Dollar, but this was a modest decline relative to its other peers. In fact, among the majors, the Canadian Dollar was the second best performing currency on the week against the Greenback, only second to the British Pound. The Loonie remains firmly anchored to broad market sentiment, given its substantial correlation to the major U.S. stock indexes; when the S&P 500 gains, the USD/CAD drops. This is a trend that is expected to continue for an indefinite amount of time going forward.
The relative strength of the Canadian Dollar compared to its counterparts, save the U.S. Dollar, was rather surprising given the data releases for the world’s eleventh largest economy over the past week. The Canadian labor market surprisingly weakened in October with the unemployment rate climbing to 7.3 percent from 7.1 percent as 54.0K jobs were subtracted from the economy. Both of these readings were worse-than-forecasted; 15.0K jobs were expected to have been added with the unemployment rate holding at 7.1 percent. The Bank of Canada is unlikely to do much to help the situation, as Governor Mark Carney noted that the bank’s mandate is to ensure price stability first and foremost.
Looking ahead, there is not much on the docket by way of significant economic data releases. The most significant release will come on Tuesday, when housing sector data is due. According to a Bloomberg News survey, the Canadian economy is forecasted to have begun construction on 197.5K homes in October, down from the revised 207.6K figure in September. This wouldn’t be a substantial enough decline to harm the Loonie, as it would still hold above the 2011 average of 191.6K housing starts per month.
Instead of concentrating on data releases, it would be best to examine broader macroeconomic trends: in particular, Chinese data and developments out of the Euro-zone. Concerns over a “hard landing” for the Chinese economy still exist, with concerns over a potential credit bubble in China starting to come to the surface. If Chinese growth is indeed slowing, then concerns of a global recession with find new life, weighing not only on risk-appetite, but oil as well; over the past two-years, the USD/CAD has a significant -0.621 correlation with crude. Likewise, if concerns of a Euro-zone recession are exacerbated due to developments out of Greece and Italy, oil, and thus the Loonie, is likely headed lower. Considering the G-20 summit yielded nothing substantial and Euro-zone leaders remain inept at solving the current crisis, it appears that like equity markets, the Loonie is on the verge of a major collapse in the coming weeks.
