FxWirePro-CADJPY Trade idea

CAD/JPY pared some of its gains on the weak Canadian dollar. It hit a low of 109.02 and is currently trading around 109.08.

The labor market in Canada seems pretty positive with the data that came out on January 10, 2025, based on December's employment statistics. In December 2024, Canada added 91,000 jobs compared with a projected number of 25,000. Such healthy growth in jobs implies a healthy labor market. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate eased marginally from 6.8% in November to 6.7% in December. On the whole, the findings point toward a good trend for Canada's employment scenario.
