USDCAD Continues To Move Lower Post CPI

CANADA
  • USDCAD is -1% at 1.2493 as it continues to move lower along with a broader move with risk sensitive currencies faring well against the USD today.
  • The CPI beat helped continue the move but it’s only on a par with AUD and NZD.
  • The negative Can-US yield differential has narrowed somewhat after widening since last week. Despite 2Y GoC yields pulling back from a peak that saw new highs since Sep-2008, they are still up +4.5bps compared to -1.5bps for Tsys.
  • Furthering the bearish threat, the pair is through support at 1.2522 (Apr 14 low) and next eyes 1.2479 (Apr 6 low) and then the 10-day EMA envelope of 1.2460.
