Heavy USDCAD Expiry Could Help Extend Lift After Earlier Opening Of Key Support

CANADA
  • USDCAD at 1.37 trades slightly higher on the day (+0.1%) after a lacklustre session with US Thanksgiving.
  • CAD underperforms all peers bar Scandis in payback after two days of outperformance.
  • USDCAD earlier touched 1.3651 to clear support at 1.3674 (trendline drawn from the Jul 14 low) and open a key support at 1.3629 (Nov 6 low) but has lacked impetus to continue lower in holiday-thinned trade. A push higher meanwhile could bring 1.3777 into sights (Nov 16 high).
  • Tomorrow is headlined by US PMIs and CAD retail sales but heavy option expiry for the NY cut could also bias direction. There is a large $3.4bn grouped between 1.3740-1.3770 partly offset by $1.3bn at 1.3575.
