Fundamental view

The number of the employed people in Canada probably increased by 21 300 last month compared to March, according to the median forecast by experts. In March compared to February the number of the employed rose by 42 900. Creation of new job positions is considered of utmost importance for consumer spending. In case employment in the country increases more than expected, the loonie would be supported.

The rate of unemployment in Canada probably remained unchanged at 6.9% in April. Lower than expected unemployment would have a bullish effect on Canadian dollar. Statistics Canada is expected to release its official report at 12:30 GMT.
