I read an article a few months back about how oil would hit $100/barrel. I had no doubt that it would eventually, but with the sharp rise in oil prices this week, it might be coming sooner than I thought. With a close at nearly $90 today, that will put additional strain on an already straining economy. This bodes well for the Canadian Dollar, with the long downtrend in the USD/CAD cross likely to continue.
The dollar is weak all the way around and as much as possible, I will try to fade any moves that show dollar strength, unless I think the technical levels or foreign fundamental events will allow me to profit from being long the dollar.
I have been feeling a little sick, so I haven’t been trading too much this week.
