Core Viewpoint - The Euro/USD pair is currently facing selling pressure, retreating to the 1.1740-1.1730 range due to a rebound in the US dollar and disappointing ADP employment data, despite a slight improvement in ISM manufacturing PMI data [1][5]. Technical Analysis - The Euro/USD pair struggles to maintain upward momentum, with resistance at 1.1800 [3]. - The next resistance level for bulls is at 1.1918, with a potential test of the psychological level at 1.2000 if this area is breached. Conversely, a drop below the weekly low of 1.1645 could expose the 100-day simple moving average at 1.1605, followed by the weekly low of 1.1574 and the August low of 1.1391 [4]. - Momentum indicators show mixed signals, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) slightly above the 50 threshold, indicating a loss of control by buyers.

Trade Tensions - Trade remains a critical risk factor, with a temporary truce between Washington and Beijing easing tensions, although high tariffs persist. The US continues to impose a 30% tariff on Chinese imports, while China maintains a 10% tariff on US goods. Additionally, a recent agreement between the US and EU has led to reduced tariffs on industrial goods, but issues regarding automobile tariffs remain unresolved [13].

Core Viewpoint - Canada's agricultural exports are facing significant challenges due to a combination of factors, including a backlog of canola oil inventory, a sharp decline in pork exports, and disruptions in pea trade, primarily caused by retaliatory tariffs from China [1][4][5]. Group 1: Impact of Tariffs - In March, China imposed a 100% tariff on Canadian peas, which previously accounted for 80% of Canada's exports to China, leading to a backlog of goods worth hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars [4]. - The Canadian agricultural GDP is projected to shrink by 12% due to these tariffs, affecting transportation, storage, and processing sectors [4].

Group 4: Market Dynamics - In contrast to Canada's agricultural struggles, products from Russia and Kazakhstan are increasingly entering the Chinese market, with Canada's share of pea imports dropping from 65% to 18% [13]. - This shift highlights the reconfiguration of global supply chains and the increasing substitutability of non-essential imports [15]. Group 5: Future Considerations - For Canada to restore trade relations, it must address key areas such as establishing a product quality traceability system and negotiating trade disputes within the WTO framework [21][23]. - The situation serves as a reminder that politicizing economic issues can ultimately harm national interests, emphasizing the need for Canada to choose between being a strategic subordinate or pursuing pragmatic cooperation [27].
