  • USDCAD has continued to decline through the session, with a latest low of 1.3154 stopping just 1 pip short of Friday’s low prior to the shunt higher helped by soft CAD retail sales.
  • CAD continues to benefit from WTI front futures pushing 2.5% higher helped by tighter global supplies and potential stimulus in China, with CAD now second only to NZD on the day.
