CAD Lagging Peers Ahead Of Data, Central Bank Speak

CANADA
  • CAD trades towards the lower end of majors with USDCAD -0.4% around 1.34 amidst a softer USD, having climbed off session lows.
  • It’s a further net pullback after yesterday’s clearance of the 50-day EMA of 1.3453. A firm break and close above this average could ultimately expose 1.3571 (Nov 10 high) whilst to the downside lies initial support at 1.3301 (Nov 18 low).
  • Correlation with Can-US yield differentials has increased again and helps weigh on CAD (2Y -59bp, 10Y -74bp), with Canadian retail sales and Rogers plus Fedspeak ahead.
