USDCAD Climb Slows With Firmer Equities But Still Nears Bull Trigger

CANADA
  • A continued increase in the S&P e-mini has seen USDCAD pull back 25-30 pips from earlier fresh highs for the week of 1.3855 in what marked a clear break of the 1.3815/1.3816 it topped out at over the previous two days.
  • The pair still sits +0.15% on the day though despite solid gains for WTI (+1.9%) on top of those gains for the S&P e-mini (+0.8%), although there has been a sizeable widening in the 2Y Can-US differential to -50bps from -44.5bp yesterday.
  • The day’s earlier climb has seen another step closer to a bull trigger of 1.3899 (Nov 1 high), in the way of a major resistance level at 1.3977 (Oct 13, 2022 high).
