Fundamental view

Canada

The number of building permits in Canada probably declined 10.0% in July compared to a month ago, according to the median estimate by experts. In June permits, issued by the government, were 13.5% more, or the largest rate of increase since July 2013. Building permits, as an indicator, provide information regarding demand in Canada’s housing market. In case the number of permits fell more than anticipated, this might have a bearish effect on the Canadian dollar. Statistics Canada is to release its monthly report at 12:30 GMT.

Japan

At 23:50 GMT Bank of Japan will release the minutes from its most recent meeting on policy. The minutes offer detailed insights on central bank’s monetary policy stance. This release is closely examined by traders, as it may provide clues over interest rate decisions in the future. Moderate-to-high volatility is usually present after the publication. In case the minutes show a hawkish outlook, this usually supports the yen, while a dovish outlook usually has a bearish effect on the national currency.

If CAD/JPY manages to breach the first key support at 96.16, it will probably continue to slide and test 95.74. With this second key support broken, the movement to the downside will probably continue to 95.28.
