USDCAD Holding Overnight Break of 1.35

CANADA
  • It’s the first time below the handle since Feb 21, from a combination of WTI up strongly on the surprise OPEC+ cut and equities holding onto Friday’s gains.
  • It builds on CAD being buoyed by surprise monthly GDP strength on Friday, which could have seen a shake out of short CAD positions. If CFTC positioning is more broadly representative, latest data for last Tue showed the highest net shorts since Apr/May 2019 at -32 % OI.
  • The pair sits just off session lows of 1.3476, with next support eyed at 1.3442 (Feb 20/21 low) whilst to the upside sits 1.3590 (50-day EMA).
