Since the beginning of this month, EUR/USD has been consolidating. The key trading range is still 1.18700-1.19250. Yesterday's trades ended with a slight strengthening of the single currency.

If the EUR/USD quotes overcome the level of 1.19250, we recommend searching for entry points to the market for opening long positions. The target level of movement is 1.19750-1.20000.

Yesterday, sales prevailed on USD/CAD. At the moment, investors have adopted a wait-and-see attitude before the meeting of the Bank of Canada. Most experts believe that the regulator will keep the interest rate at the previous level of 0.75%. I would like to note that the latest statistics on the economy of Canada indicates a positive trend. We recommend paying attention to the comments of representatives of the Central Bank.
