The Australian and Canadian dollars climbed against their major
counterparts in the Asian session on Friday amid risk appetite, as
Asian stock markets rose following the overnight gains on Wall
Street, as tepid inflation data eased worries about a faster pace
of rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
Investors focused on the meeting between North Korean leader Kim
Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump that is scheduled on June
12.
Trump said that he had plans of "doing something very
meaningful" when both leaders meet for talks aimed to denuclearize
the Korean peninsula.
Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that the
total number of owner occupied housing commitments in Australia
decreased for the fourth straight month in March.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, total number of owner occupied
dwelling commitments dropped 2.2 percent month-over-month in March,
faster than the 0.2 percent fall in February.
The aussie climbed to a 4-week high of 1.5776 against the euro
and a weekly high of 0.7547 against the greenback, from its early
lows of 1.5841 and 0.7523, respectively. On the upside, 1.56 and
0.77 are likely seen as the next resistance levels for the aussie
against the euro and the greenback, respectively.
The aussie reversed from its early lows of 82.24 against the yen
and 1.0796 against the kiwi, advancing to an 8-day high of 82.58
and a 3-month high of 1.0830, respectively. If the aussie continues
its rise, 84.00 and 1.09 are possibly seen as its next resistance
levels against the yen and the kiwi, respectively.
The aussie advanced to a session's high 0.9627 against the
loonie, off its early low of 0.9604. The aussie is likely to find
resistance around the 0.98 level.
The loonie strengthened to 85.83 against the yen and 1.5178
against the euro, coming off from its previous lows of 85.57 and
1.5220, respectively. The next possible resistance for the loonie
is seen around 87.00 against the yen and 1.50 against the euro.
Bouncing off from an early low of 1.2773 against the greenback,
the loonie rose to 1.2752. The loonie is seen finding resistance
around the 1.26 level.
Looking ahead, Canada jobs data and U.S. import and export
prices, all for April, and University of Michigan's preliminary
consumer sentiment index for May are scheduled for release in the
New York session.
