I think it will go up to 1.3280
usd cad cannot move more than that , it has been moving from yesterday. i think it will go max to 1.3250, and then down due to us china optimism deal , this give cad power , Specially that rates are equal now . 1.75 so not big diffrence . plus unemployement is good .
Made my buy entry 2 min before data. After all october data, employment was sure negative, also housing and permits. Let's see where it will go. For me it's now a free risk trade, allready secured. Depends also on usd data that will come.
now 1.3230 , another 20 pips with USD consumer positive data
Last month's job report includes people hired for the federal election and now those jobs are gone. Jobs in the energy sectors are leaving rapidly. Canada's economy is going downhill with bone head Justin Trudeau elected for a second term.
CAD going 1.40

It is not unnatural. The money that is being printed by CBs is mostly going to the banks that invest in stocks. The more money they have the higher the stock market will go.
did you guys get the whole 10 pips move?

you meant the price of stocks like Dow at 27700 ( also Nas, S$P500 AND EURO STOCKS) is natural?! just based on printing and then injecting more money?! you or the ones like you or bank system put your and their money in the stock market when you know that not even your economy but the global economy is entering into a recession?!! seems irrational to me and it's opposite of most economic theories.

Yep, it is natural according to the laws of economics: Greater Demand = Higher price.

The Demand is artificial and debt-based. If I gave you an endless line of credit at near 0% interest you could continuously invest at a profit and pay me the tiny interest and pocket the rest. This is essentially what is going on here.

It is irrational. Unless you are following Keynesian economics, then it is still irrational.

    From @LiveSquawk|Nov 8, 2019|67 comments

    tweet at 10:00am: US Pres. Trump Says He Has Not Agreed To Tariff Rollback, But China ‘Would Like’ Him To - China Wants To Make Trade DealTrump says he has not agreed to roll back tariffs on China, after week of trade optimism President Donald Trump said Friday he has not agreed to scrap tariffs on Chinese goods, though Beijing would like him to do so. Stocks fell to their sessions lows following Trump’s comments, as optimism had risen about the prospects of the U.S. scrapping duties. On Thursday, Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson Gao Feng said negotiators from Washington and Beijing “agreed to remove the additional duties imposed on each other’s products in different phases after they make progress” in striking a trade deal,” according to a CNBC translation. Gao did not specify how much of the tariffs the world’s two largest economies would revoke.
