EURCAD Euro vs Canadian Dollar

The euro strengthened against its major counterparts in the European session on Wednesday, as Eurozone bond yields rose and investors cheered possibility of a soft Brexit and indications of progress in U.S.-China trade talks.

The Financial Times reported that the U.S. and China have resolved most of the outstanding issues and are drawing closer to a final trade agreement. White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow also said on Tuesday that the world's two largest economies "expect to make more headway" in trade talks this week.

Investors also watched Brexit headlines, with reports suggesting that British Prime Minister Theresa May will ask the EU for an extension to the Brexit deadline to "break the logjam" in Parliament.

Preliminary data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone retail sales grew for a second consecutive month and at a faster-than-expected pace in February.

Retail sales rose 0.4 percent month-on-month in February, surpassing economists' expectations for 0.10 percent growth.

Survey data from IHS Markit showed that Eurozone private sector activity continued its modest growth in March.

The final composite output index came in at 51.6 compared to 51.9 in February. The flash score was 51.3.

The euro advanced to 125.45 against the yen, its strongest since March 22. If the euro rises further, 127.00 is possibly seen as its next resistance level.

The latest survey from Nikkei showed that Japan's services sector continued to expand in March, albeit at a slightly lower pace, with a services PMI score of 52.0.

The common currency rebounded to 0.8545 against the pound, from an early weekly low of 0.8502. The euro is seen finding resistance around the 0.87 area.
