The Canadian dollar climbed against its major counterparts
during the European session on Tuesday, after a data showed that
the nation's core inflation accelerated in July.
Data from Statistics Canada showed that consumer prices,
excluding food and energy, rose 0.5 percent on a seasonally
adjusted monthly basis in July from 0.4 percent in June.
On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, the CPI was up 0.3
percent in July after edging up by 0.5 percent in the previous
month.
The consumer price index increased 7.6 percent on a
year-over-year basis in July, down from an 8.1 percent gain in
June. This was in line with economists' expectations.
The loonie was up against the yen and the greenback, touching
104.53 and 1.2871, respectively. If the loonie extends rise, 107.00
and 1.26 are possibly seen as its next resistance levels against
the yen and the greenback, respectively.
The loonie firmed to a 6-day high of 0.9021 against the aussie
and near a 2-week high of 1.3063 against the euro, from its early
lows of 0.9076 and 1.3121, respectively. The loonie is likely to
face resistance around 0.88 against the aussie and 1.27 against the
euro.
