USDCAD Nearing Post FOMC Highs But CAD Outperforms

CANADA
  • USDCAD has pushed to a session high of 1.3608, close to yesterday’s post FOMC statement pre-Powell high of 1.3612
  • Despite the quick increase, a firmer USD sees CAD outperform on the crosses, notably appreciating more than 1% to Antipodeans in a more meaningful rolling over of recent AUDCAD strength seen since the first miss for US CPI in the Oct report (Nov 10).
  • USDCAD technicals: further off support at 1.3470 (former trendline resistance) whilst resistance remains 1.3700 (Dec 7 high).
  • Solid schedule ahead, with potential ECB spillover plus Canadian housing data and a deluge of US data including retail sales.
