USDCAD Clears Supports On Broader Risk-On

CANADA
  • USDCAD sits just off new session lows of 1.2674, having cleared initial support of 1.2695 (50-day EMA), coming ahead of news that the main Russian advance on Kyiv remains slowed.
  • It could next open key short-term support of 1.2636, the Feb 10 low from the post-BOC/FOMC range to 1.2797 that the cross has largely been confined to until the Russian invasion.
  • The Loonie performs similar to other risk-sensitive currencies in the AUD and NZD, with USDCAD currently down -0.25% on the day.
  • This comes despite earlier data showing the current account surprisingly fell back into deficit in Q4 at -C$0.8B (C$2.2B surplus expected) with a downward revision to Q3 to boot.
