Fundamental view
Canada
Annualized number of housing starts in Canada probably declined to 185 000 in May from 194 800 in the previous month. Housing starts are considered as a key indicator, reflecting nation’s housing sector’ resilience. In case the number of housing starts rose more than expected, this would provide support to the loonie. Canada’s Mortgage and Housing Corporation will release the official numbers at 12:15 GMT.
Mexico
The annualized index of consumer prices (CPI) in Mexico probably slowed down to 3.47% in May, according to the median forecast by experts, from 3.5% in April. The index measures the change in price levels of a basket of goods and services from consumer’s perspective and also reflects purchasing trends. In case the CPI rose more than projected, this would have a bullish effect on Mexican peso.
Insituto Nacional de Estadistica Y Geografia is expected to release the official report at 13:00 GMT.
Technical view
