CAD Maintains Post-Jobs Outperformance, Aided By Oil

CANADA
  • CAD maintains its top of the pack position on the day as a combination of the stronger than expected jobs report and WTI trading almost +1%, with NOK in close second accordingly.
  • USDCAD at 1.363 (-0.4%) trades off session lows of 1.3608, which didn’t trouble support at 1.3547 (20-day EMA) but made for a marked shift off yesterday’s new recent high of 1.3695.
  • The move also saw the pair move further back from its return to overbought territory.
  • Next week sees a lighter CAD docket with greater focus on US CPI, with CAD CPI not until Sep 19. It’s a particularly quiet start to the week though, which could give more sway to option expiry with the heaviest scheduled for Monday’s NY cut at 1.3600 ($477m) and then 1.3660 ($293m).
