Global financial markets witnessed sharp volatility on Tuesday, with the US Dollar coming under pressure while the Canadian Dollar (CAD) showed notable strength, drawing strong investor attention.
๐บ๐ธ US Dollar (USD) โ Weak Data, Weaker Sentiment
The latest US ADP weekly employment change came in below expectations.
Previous: 16.3K
Actual: 11.5K
Although Preliminary GDP Q/Q and the GDP Price Index showed stronger readings compared to previous resultsโsignaling that overall economic activity remains resilientโ
pressure emerged from Core Durable Goods Orders (M/M) and Durable Goods Orders (M/M), both of which weakened.
๐ The combination of these mixed economic signals weighed heavily on market sentiment against the USD, causing the Dollar Index to fall by nearly 0.3% on Tuesday night.
๐จ๐ฆ Canadian Dollar (CAD) โ Stable Growth, Positive Reaction
Meanwhile, Canadaโs monthly GDP data was released:
Forecast: 0.2%
The data met market expectations, reinforcing confidence in the Canadian economy.
๐ As a result, CAD reacted positively, with the index gaining around 0.42% by Tuesday night.
Canadaโs economy continues to demonstrate stability amid global uncertainty, strengthening its position in the currency markets.
๐ Key Market Insight
Tuesdayโs price action clearly highlights how labor market data, economic growth indicators, and durable goods demand can rapidly influence currency movements.
Markets remain highly sensitive, where even slight data shifts are triggering significant reactions.
