USDCAD Back Close To Support With Particularly Heavy Session Eyed

CANADA
  • USDCAD is back within a few pips of early session lows of 1.3399, with a more than 2.5% intraday swing higher in WTI helping downward pressure along with equity futures sitting closer to overnight highs.
  • The pair sits at lowest levels since Jan 15 before the sizeable paring of Fed rate cut expectations. Support is seen at 1.3382 (Jan 15 low) as what’s deemed a corrective pullback extends, whilst resistance remains at the bull trigger of 1.3542 (Jan 17 high).
  • Decent option expiry for tomorrow’s NY cut ($1.09bn at 1.3400) could help support current levels at the margin.
  • That said, the pair will no doubt be at the mercy of a heavy docket including US ADP and ECI, Treasury refunding, aforementioned CAD GDP and then the MNI Chicago PMI, all before of course the FOMC decision.
