USDCAD Hovers Near Key Support Zone Ahead Of Jobs Report

CANADA
  • USDCAD sees decent downward pressure as CAD leads the pack aside from a resurgent NOK on stronger inflation data.
  • Touching a low of 1.3317, it tests Wednesday’s post-BoC low of 1.3322 after which sits two close support levels with 1.3315 (May 8 low) before the key 1.3302 (Apr 14 low).
  • The move comes ahead of the CAD jobs report at 0830ET. Quick blurb on that to follow.
  • Option expiry generally skewed higher: the day’s largest, and heavy, expiries are all at notably higher strikes with 1.3500 ($2.1B) and 1.3450 ($1.69B) but closer by we see 1.3350 ($288m), 1.3365 ($455m), 1.3400 ($767m).
