Commodities drag Aussie Dollar and Loonie lower

Apologies. I messed up the links at the bottom of the Trading Diary newsletter. For the correct link click here. Correct links are also available on the Trading Diary web page and under Recent Posts in the right margin of this page.

Falling commodity prices have started a primary down-trend on both the Australian and Canadian dollar. The Aussie rallied off support at its target of $0.94, but respect of the (secondary) declining trendline would warn of further losses.

AUDUSD

* Target calculation: 1.02 – ( 1.10 – 1.02 ) = 0.94

The Loonie also bounced of $0.94 and is testing the first line of resistance at $0.9650. Respect would again warn of further losses.

CADUSD

* Target calculation: 1.00 – ( 1.06 – 1.00 ) = 0.94
