Canada has just published their employment data; pretty bad in general, with 43.2K job lost instead of 10.K wins expected, while unemployment rate rose to 8.6% from  8.4%. Not a law, but U.S. data tends to come in line with this one. If data is so bad in America, could dollar rose today??

I will be covering Live! (YES! AGAIN!) data at Fxstreet.com home page. See you all there!

Monday holiday, majors remain in range while U.S. futures are strongly up, supporting dollar and yen falls. However, commodity currencies are leading the way, as the AUD/USD has reach a fresh yearly high at 0.8575 and continues tending higher despite over bought in smaller time frames, as gold quotes at $ 995.00/oz, close to the historical high of $ 1030. Above mentioned high, pair has resistances at 0.8600, and 0.8640; supports in case of some corrective movement lie at 0.8530 and then 0.8500.

I always said, commodities currencies tend to gave as clues of dollar movements against European majors, and today is no exception: AUD/USD is above 0.8400, barely 70 pips of the yearly high, and of course, bullish; USD/CAD is falling strong after breaking key support at 1.0770; finally NZD/USD is forming a triple daily roof around 0.6885: if we move higher, dollar will remain under strong pressure.
