USDCAD Nears Key Resistance

CANADA
  • USDCAD has climbed this morning with a high of 1.3274 coming close to key resistance at 1.3282 (50-day EMA), with clearance required to highlight a reversal off the bear trigger at 1.3093 (Jul 14 low).
  • Broader USD strength today sees CAD pivot to outperforming high beta peers and especially AUD after the RBA held vs market pricing 35% chance of a hike.
  • The day’s largest option expiries for USDCAD at the NY cut are all tilted to higher strikes but are of limited size (largest $288M at 1.3300).
  • There is the S&P Global Canada PMI at 0930ET today but greater focus will no doubt be on US JOLTS and ISM, with the next main CAD driver the labour report on Friday.
