USDCAD Lifts Further On First Republic Asset Sale Talk

CANADA
  • USDCAD sees a further increase for the day with the latest step lower in the S&P E-mini in belated reaction to FRC shares sliding on earlier asset sales headlines.
  • The pair touched a high of 1.3639, pushing further above resistance at 1.3617 (Mar 29 high) and eyeing 1.3648 (61.8% retrace of Mar 10 – Apr 14 bear leg) as it continues a significant push off oversold levels from the Apr 14 low of 1.3302. A further concerted push higher could open 1.3695 (Mar 28 high).
  • Tomorrow sees preliminary US durable goods for March (0830ET) and the BoC minutes for the Apr 12 decision (1330ET). The latter might however struggle to build on Macklem already saying that BoC officials discussed the need for a potential hike whilst being far too early to consider rate cuts.
