USDCAD Holding Return To 1.32 Handle, Awaiting Powell

CANADA
  • USDCAD has pushed back above 1.32 overnight and sits within 10 pips of session highs at 1.3235.
  • The negative Can-US 2Y yield differential has widened slightly further but at 2.5bps it's small compared to the 12bp move after softer CAD core CPI and stronger US data yesterday.
  • The technical set-up suggests the bounce off yesterday’s trend low of 1.3117 could be corrective with the trend outlook remaining bearish. A continued push higher could test 1.3246 (Jun 21 high) and open firmer resistance at 1.3286 (20-day EMA).
  • Sintra comments including Powell at 0930ET are the main near-term focus with a very light domestic docket (Q1 population estimates possibly the pick).
