Dec 11th, 2015: Oil Dribbles Below $40

• This morning, the dollar has regained some of its previous poise, though like the USD/ JPY, remains largely range bound.

• Oil prices remain under pressure as OPEC inaction combines with slowing demand in China.

• Commodity currencies are performing relatively well though, the Australian dollar is down slightly, while the New Zealand dollar is showing some encouraging consistency.

• The British pound remains pressured however after yesterday’s MPC meeting failed to provide strong hints at a rate hike.

Coming up today: 

• Today we have US core retail sales at 13.30, released alongside PPI. This is followed by preliminary UoM consumer sentiment.
• MPC member Weale speaks at 15.35.

Trade Idea: 

• There is no relief for the Canadian dollar, as oil prices sink further. The USD/ CAD has been rising steadily and could have further to go.

• A good way to play this is a HIGHER trade predicting that the USD/ CAD will close above 1.37000 in four days for a potential return of 157%.
