USDCAD Lifts With WTI Under Pressure

CANADA
  • USDCAD has touched a new session high of 1.3645 with WTI pushing to new lows and the S&P E-mini back near lows and at similar levels to after the US open.
  • It continues to test resistance at 1.3640 (May 3 high) after which sits the key 1.3668 (Apr 28 high) holding back an approach closer to the 1.37 handle last seen in late March.
  • As opposed to recent sessions with sizeable option expiry at nearby strikes to help dampen movement, tomorrow sees relatively little for nearby strikes which could open scope for larger moves.
  • Debt talk headlines likely remain front and centre but tomorrow also sees a solid data docket with monthly PCE/core deflator, preliminary durable goods and finalised U.Mich consumer sentiment after the surprise lift in long-term inflation expectations.
