USDCAD Clears Multiple Resistance Levels

CANADA
  • Canadian front-end rates/yields may be keeping track with the US, preserving relatively small yield differentials, but this hasn’t stopped USDCAD from climbing +1.0% today at 1.2711 (just off 1.2726).
  • It’s cleared multiple resistance levels, including the bull trigger at 1.2676 (Apr 13 high) and most recently 1.2711 (61.8% retracement of the Mar8-Apr5 bear leg), next opening 1.2786 (76.4% retracement).
  • It sees a 2.1% swing from yesterday’s low of 1.2459, taking from the pair from the bottom through the top of the 1.24-1.27 range CIBC strats thought it should trade in within just two sessions.
  • Next major CAD driver likely BoC Gov Macklem at the House finance committee on Monday at 1100ET.
