CAD Maintains Worst Performing G10 FX Tag Ahead Of BOC

CANADA
  • USDCAD hits session highs of 1.3673 (+0.6%) on a broad USD bid since the weak US equity open, extending an earlier increase with CAD underperforming all other majors on the day with NOK second as oil holds an earlier further decline.
  • It comes ahead of tomorrow’s BoC decision, seen as a very close call between another 50bp hike and a further downshift to 25bps, conditional on any further tweaks in the BoC’s reaction function.
  • The latest climb for USDCAD sees it clear resistance at 1.3646 (Nov 29 high) to next open 1.3690 (61.8% retracement of Oct 13 – Nov 15 bear leg), now edging above the ~1.36 in the build up to the Oct 26 BoC decision.
