Canadian dollar strengthens for fourth week on rising risk appetite


The Canadian dollar CADUSD weakened against its U.S. counterpart on Friday, but the currency kept much of its weekly gain on optimism about a sustained downturn in inflation that could encourage the Federal Reserve to turn less hawkish.

The loonie was trading 0.2% lower at 1.3390 to the greenback, or 74.68 U.S. cents, after touching its strongest level since Nov. 25 at 1.3323.

For the week, it strengthened 0.4%, its fourth consecutive weekly gain.

“The main focus is still on the USD, and CAD direction being driven by (moves in) equities,” said Amo Sahota, director at Klarity FX in San Francisco. “The loonie, although stronger (this week), is not keeping up with the gains being seen in other major FX.”

The U.S. dollar was trading near a seven-month low against a basket of major currencies, while a gauge of global stocks rose for a sixth straight session as investors assessed the start of U.S. earnings season and the path of inflation.

It follows U.S. data on Thursday that fuelled hopes for a sustained downward trend in inflation, potentially giving the Fed room to scale down the size of its rate hikes.

Canada sends about 75% of its exports to the United States, including oil.

U.S. crude futures settled 1.9% higher at $79.86 a barrel, adding to this week’s gains, helped by the prospect of less aggressive tightening by the Fed and signs of demand growth in top oil importer China.

Canadian consumer price index data for December, due Tuesday, could offer clues on the Bank of Canada policy outlook.

Canadian government bond yields were mixed across the curve on Friday. The 10-year touched its lowest level since Dec. 19 at 2.858% before recovering to 2.900%, little changed on the day.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
