NFP-How NFP Will Play Out Today?The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released the January 2025 Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report today, February 7, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The report indicates that the U.S. economy added 170,000 jobs in January, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. This reflects a moderation in job growth compared to December's addition of 256,000 jobs. REUTERS.COM Analysts attribute the slowdown in job growth to disruptions caused by wildfires in California and cold weather conditions, which are estimated to have reduced job numbers by approximately 40,000, particularly in sectors like accommodation, food services, and construction. REUTERS.COM Additionally, this month's report includes significant annual benchmark revisions, incorporating updated population weights and seasonal adjustment models. These revisions have led to a downward adjustment of previous employment estimates, indicating that fewer jobs were created in 2024 than initially reported. BUSINESSINSIDER.COM Financial markets have shown minimal movement in response to the report, as the figures align closely with economists' expectations. Futures linked to Wall Street's main indexes remained steady, with investors having anticipated a slowdown in job growth due to the aforementioned disruptions. REUTERS.COM In summary, while the January 2025 NFP report indicates a deceleration in job growth, the labor market remains resilient. However, potential challenges such as federal hiring freezes and trade tensions could impact future employment trends. APNEWS.COM

USDCAD at a crucial support.USDCAD - Intraday The selloff has posted an exhaustion count on the intraday chart. We expect a reversal in this move.

USDCAD: Tariffs delayedThe elephant in the room The focal point of late has undoubtedly been US President Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canadian goods shipped to the US. A 25% universal tariff rate would be troublesome for the Canadian economy—despite the exemption for energy products. But it would also have a notable stagflationary effect on the US—making it an expensive strategy for Trump. Further, Canada laid out its retaliation strategy which is designed to respond in kind. We still think the tariffs will not be implemented in that form and “deal making” will remain key in the Trump administration’s strategy. Canada not in a good place to begin with Canada remains in a weak negotiation spot politically without a functioning government in place and new elections likely later in 2Q. Moreover, the economy is hurting given its high interest-rate sensitivity and elevated Bank of Canada (BoC) policy rates for some time. Accordingly, the BoC struck a cautious tone in their policy meeting last week and noted their readiness to react to any economic shock in relation to US tariffs. This would be much needed given fiscal stimulus is unlikely to come to the rescue given Parliament remains prorogued until March. USDCAD to retest 1.46 highs—even without tariffs The market reaction to Trump’s proposed tariffs was rather benign and was completely reversed following the delay in implementation. From here, we do not see much of a risk premium priced into USDCAD and, rather, the pair trades below what rates differentials suggest. While we do not expect the tariffs to be implemented in the aforementioned form, a risk of some adverse trade action remains. We think USDCAD can test 1.46 again in the coming months before edging lower later in the year. Broader USD strength might also be enough to get there—even in the absence of tariffs on Canada.

USDCAD Could move 1,064pips up the next month.The reasons why I strongly believe this move will happen are the following: According to the CFTC non-commercials are shorting CAD. Non-commercials have 20,388 positions long and 68,914 positions shorts. This means that they are selling more CAD than they actually buying it. According to this info we could expect a move to the upside. From a monthly perspective there is plenty of buy side liquidity in USDCAD. If you look at the chart you will see two blue circles and a dollar bill between them . Those highs have not been liquidated yet. The price is aggressively chasing those highs. According to the explanation provided the price is extremely bullish because is moving to a strong liquidity area. From monthly perspective the price already liquidates sell side liquidity. If look at the chart you will see a yellow circle . The yellow circle represents the sell side liquidity that was liquidated by the price. The price has bullish structure. The price is making higher highs will doing so liquidating sell side liquidity. There is a lot of optimists about the dollar getting stronger in the near future. DXY has bullish structure. The DXY is currently making a retracement. It is currently at 50%. We could assume that is very close to be ready because it took sell side liquidity as well. In other words, the CAD is getting weaker and the USD stronger.
