- In Q&A, BoC Senior Dep Gov Rogers said a CPI buffer from a higher Canadian dollar would be nice when asked in relation to no longer having the offset from an appreciating currency under improved terms of trade (ToT) – full comment here.
- The unusual move to specifically jawbone the currency helped see USDCAD stick near session lows at 1.3110 before breaking lower to 1.3086 as WTI hit session highs. However, it is still up almost 3% from August lows, having yesterday come close to testing key resistance at the July 14 high of 1.3224, clearance of which would have opened late 2020 levels - first chart.
