(MENAFN - Baystreet.ca) Canadian dollar bulls attempted to charge through the 75-cent level (USD/CAD $1.3333) but were not successful USD/CAD touched $1.3333 then bounced like a fat man bungee jumping. Prices rebounded to $1.3400 in early Toronto trading, alongside similar price action in the antipodean currencies.

USD/JPY took out support at 106.10 and then 105.50, turning sentiment bearish and targeting further losses to 103.30 Prices are undermined by weak U.S. Treasury yields and safe-haven demand for yen due to geopolitical tensions. China continues to snipe at critics of its virtual annexation of Hong Kong.
Traders are keeping an eye on reports about progress towards a coronavirus vaccine. That news is alleviating some of the negative growth concerns stemming from the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the U.S.
