What’s Next for the Canadian dollar
1) Why CAD is the best-performer this year

Traders tend to get mesmerized by non-trending markets. They tend not to see a way out of the ups and downs and because of it, often miss out on a trend move where the price move is fast, directional and tends to go farther than most think. In this video, Greg Michalowski of ForexLive outlines how to prepare for a trending market by looking at a recent non trend market in the AUDUSD.

This clip should be viewed as a signpost and turning point in monetary policy for the 2020s, if not beyond.

Adam Button from ForexLive talks about the coronavirus crisis in markets and how it’s affected the Canadian dollar.
"What’s happened is a US dollar funding crunch. The world runs on US dollars and there have been no other safe havens so everyone has been piling into the dollar. The relative stability of the loonie – as tough as that is to believe – is a good sign for the Canadian financial system. We’re not seeing the level of panic moves from the BOC as some other central banks are making.

The themes of 2019 were 1) the US-China trade war 2) Brexit 3) Central bank easing. With the signing of the phase one deal and with central banks easing close to the finish line (the BOE, RBA and some EM central banks are still in play), the market suddenly finds itself without a theme.

Some things like real estate have quickly turned around and stock markets are clearly pricing in more of the same, yet manufacturing is still soft. A few manufacturing surveys were out today and the theme was a continue flatline.
A good spot to watch is the JPMorgan global PMI because it aggregates them. It started 2018 at 54 then slowly sank to 49.3 into mid-2019. The latest number was out today at 50.1, which is barely expanding and lower than the previous month.
The other spot to watch is AUD/USD. At the end of December it broke above the 200-day moving average for the first time in 23
