The Canadian dollar is on the rise again on Tuesday after retail sales released for June surpassed expectations, at least on a core basis, and continued the positive trend of the last couple of years. The data comes at a time when the Bank of Canada is considering raising rates again having embarked on a new cycle of tightening last month.
The data came at a time when the pound was already coming under renewed pressure making GBP/CAD one of the worst performing pairs on the day. Not only that, a major support level has been taken out in the process which may suggest that much more substantial downside lies ahead.
Senior Market Analyst Craig Erlam discusses all of the above and gives his analysis of the GBP/CAD chart.
