Loonie Slips Before Key Inflation Report

Today's expected range for the Canadian Dollar against the major currencies:

US Dollar        1.3690-1.3940

Euro                 1.6010-1.6260

Sterling            1.8550-1.8800

 

WTI Oil (opening level) $62.61

The CAD/USD is opening at 1.3806 ( 0.7243 )

CAD surrenders all of its intraday gains against the USD on Monday, as the USD staged a modest recovery. Market participants refrain from placing aggressive bets ahead of Canada’s July Consumer Price Index release due this morning, which could offer fresh cues on the Bank of Canada's policy.

Headlines

·    The annual Economic Policy Symposium will kick off Thursday evening in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Chair Jerome Powell on Friday is expected to unveil the Fed's new policy framework. Powell's speech could give Fed watchers a fresh update on how much support there is to lower rates in September, as policymakers have become divided on when to resume rate cuts.

·    Trump administration is reportedly considering taking a 10% stake in Intel, potentially making the US government its largest shareholder. This may involve converting CHIPS Act grants, totalling $10.9 billion, into equity, according to Bloomberg News.

·    The US Housing Market Index fell to 32 in August 2025 from 33 in July, below the forecast of 34. Current sales conditions dropped to 35, future sales held at 43, and buyer traffic rose to 22. Builder price cuts slightly decreased to 37% from 38% in July.

·    Trump called Vladimir putin to urge him to accept a trilateral gathering, potentially within two weeks, with Zelenskiy saying a bilateral gathering should not carry any conditions and that he would be willing to discuss territorial issues, and that he was pleased Trump had agreed to participate in security guarantees as part of any peace deal.

Key Points

·    Equities: Wall Street flat as retailers and Jackson Hole loom; Europe steady with renewables and healthcare strong; Asia mixed with Nikkei at record and Hong Kong weaker; UK modestly higher on defensives.

·    Volatility: VIX near 15 with a mild upward curve; options imply a daily S&P 500 swing of about 61 points, or 0.9%.

·    Fixed Income:

·    Digital Assets: Bitcoin slipped to $116,290 (−1.0%) and Ethereum to $4,310 (−3.6%); US spot BTC ETFs saw $68.7m net outflows led by IBIT and ARKB.

·    Currencies: Tight ranges in FX after USD firmed a bit yesterday and overnight. NZD awaits RBNZ

·    Commodities: Summer lull keeps key commodities locked in tight ranges

As a player, I was drawn into the appealing realm of endless winnings with crypto casinos, enticed by the prospect of transparent and equitable gaming. With a blend of enthusiasm and hope, I invested $9,000 in a heavily advertised cryptocurrency casino, eager to experience the excitement of online gambling. Initially, the experience was thrilling. I experienced significant wins, relishing the surge of adrenaline that accompanied each bet and spin. The platform's polished interface and blockchain-supported fairness features appeared to validate its authenticity, increasing my faith in the system. For a period, everything seemed above board. I had even successfully withdrawn funds, which further strengthened my confidence in the platform. However, on one occasion, when I attempted a larger withdrawal, the system began to display ambiguous error messages. I repeated the process with the same outcome. Perplexed, I contacted the support team. I was confronted with requests for excessive and seemingly unwarranted verification. The support team demanded additional documentation, referencing vague policies and unspecified security concerns. Their replies seemed evasive, and as time passed, my funds remained inaccessible. A growÅing feeling of unease and betrayal began to take hold. Determined not to become another silent victim, I sought assistance. That's when I found DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT, a team specializing in auditing crypto casinos and recovering funds for players defrauded by unscrupulous platforms. They performed a thorough audit of the casino's smart contract, and their findings were astonishing. The contract was programmed to block withdrawals once players reached a specific profit level surreptitiously. It was a concealed trap that contradicted the casino's claims of fairness. DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT initiated an investigation and successfully located the individuals responsible for the operation. Their tenacity and expertise were invaluable. Ultimately, I was able to recover $48,500 of my initial deposit, a result I had almost abandoned hope of achieving. My experience served as a valuable lesson. The crypto gaming sector is fraught with hidden dangers, and not every platform is as trustworthy as it presents itself to be. Thorough research is essential, and seeking support from DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT is advisable if you encounter Cryptocurrency Fraud. - Te/eGram - @dunenectarwebexpert
