No USDCAD Sway From Option Expiry After Tomorrow’s US CPI

CANADA
  • USDCAD holds the day’s push lower (1.3436 at typing) but has remained within Friday’s range seen on a combination of the caveated strong jobs report and US CPI revisions throughout.
  • A paring of earlier gains in equity futures has been offset by WTI reversing earlier losses and a steady lifting in Can-US yield differentials.
  • Friday’s low marked 1.3413 and after clearing support at the 20-day EMA in recent sessions, next key support is seen at 1.3359 (Jan 31 low).
  • US CPI headlines tomorrow. Coming afterwards, pertinent FX option expiry is two-sided and only mid-size, with $734m at 1.3500 to the upside along with $550m at 1.3380 and $317m at 1.3350.
