USD/CAD fell a dozen pips overnight...>

DOLLAR-CANADA
DOLLAR-CANADA: USD/CAD fell a dozen pips overnight and last trades at the
100-DMA of C$1.3206, owing mostly to broader USD weakness, partly caused by the
USD/CNH selloff noted overnight. 
- Worth mentioning China has arrested yet another Canadian citizen, charging him
with fraud & forging documents. This followed PM Trudeau's decision to oust
Ottawa's ambassador to Beijing McCallum after the latter said on Friday that the
case against Huawei CFO Meng's extradition to the U.S. is strong. As a reminder,
the U.S. has to submit the extradition request by Wednesday. 
- Bears need a clean break below the 100-DMA (briefly breached overnight), which
would allow them to regain control & target the YTD low of C$1.3180. Meanwhile,
initial topside focus falls on the Jan 10 high of C$1.3259 and a break above
would open up the 21-DMA at C$1.3339. 
- Canadian highlights this week include domestic GDP due Thursday & m'fing PMI
due Friday. Elsewhere, BoC Dep Gov Wilkins is due to speak Thursday.
