    Canadian new house price index little changed

    Higher new home prices in British Columbia were responsible for most of the national gain in September, while results in the rest of Canada were mixed.

    Prices for new homes in most Southern Ontario CMAs were unchanged in September. The exceptions were Oshawa (+0.9%), St. Catharines-Niagara (+0.6%) and London (+0.2%). Toronto and Guelph each reported a fourth consecutive month of no price change.

    In Alberta and Saskatchewan, new house prices declined in all four surveyed CMAs, with Regina (-0.3%) recording the largest decrease.

    AUD/USD 4H TIME FRAME CHART

    As we can see on 4 hours time frame chart, the price has been created a downside trend line.


    During the night of today it was possible to see that the price has tested the trend line several times which means that the price can start a new bearish movement until 0.7638 which is our support level (yellow line).


    Besides that, if the price breaks that support level so we can expect a bigger depreciation of Australian dollar.
