CAD/JPY was the biggest FX mover this week

Author: Adam Button

NZD was also strong

The yen was the top performer this week while the kiwi lagged. On its face, that fits in nicely with the 'risk off' theme but the old risk on/off paradigm hasn't applied for a long time. Neck-and-neck with the yen as the top performer was the New Zealand dollar.
NZD was also strong
Taking a look at CAD/JPY, there isn't much in the weekly chart. It was the second week of declines but it's still comfortably within the range since June.

Do note that the pair failed twice at 82.00 and that points to a downside bias.

London mayor says it's increasingly likely that additional measures will be required

Comments from the London mayor One lockdown is tough, but people endure. A second lockdown is depressing. Now I don't think we're going to see a March-style lockdown anywhere but I wouldn't feel too great about being a pub owner.

NZDUSD trades to highest level since April 2019, but backs off

The 0.6780-0.6790 ceiling area was broken but only barely. The NZDUSD traded to its highest level since April 3, 2019, getting above a ceiling area between 0.67803 and 0.6790. That's the good news for the buyers. The not so good news is that the price can only extend to 0.67969 before rotating back to the downside. We currently trade just below that swing area at 0.6779.

GBP: Targeting GBP/USD at 1.25 & EUR/GBP at 0.96 in Q1'21 - SocGen

SocGen on sterling Societe Generale Research discusses GBP outlook and maintains a bearish bias especially against the JPY in the near-term. ". That's a 5% fall in the value of sterling in the next few months which will probably see the real effective rate fall to its lowest level ever at some point. Sterling's biggest source of support is that it is already so cheap and sentiment is already so bearish, about the currency as well as the economic and political outlook. It's already weaker than relative growth might suggest, or than relative rates might warrant. What it continues to lack, above anything else, is any kind of catalyst for a significant bounce," SocGen adds.

France daily COVID cases jump above 13,000 to highest since the lockdown

French virus cases hit a post-lockdown high The risks of another lockdown in France are growing with cases up 13,215 in the past 24 hours. The good news is that fewer people are being hospitalized or dying. The issue is that we're only at the leading edge of cold-and-flu season and the school year has just started.

Baker Hughes US oil rig count 179 vs 180 prior

Oil and gas rigs from Baker Hughes I'm more interested by the rise in gas rigs. There was a pop in gas prices in late August and that might have put some drillers back to work. Unfortunately that bounce has popped with gas back under $2 today.
