USDCAD Nears Third Resistance Level Of The Day

CANADA
  • USDCAD hits a new session high of 1.3054 for +1.5% (currently 1.3046), with the earlier step lower in WTI weighing on CAD as it has switched to underperforming AUD and NZD on the day having outperformed beforehand.
  • The strength of price pressures in yesterday’s BoC surveys could support CAD strength if risk sentiment improves, especially as next week’s BoC decision is eyed, but remains firmly on the backseat for now.
  • Having cleared two resistance levels, USDCAD next sees resistance at a bull trigger of 1.3079 (Jun 17 high), a break of which could strengthen bullish conditions and open Nov-2020 levels.
  • Plenty of significant drivers ahead, including the FOMC minutes tomorrow and labour reports for both US and Canada on Friday.
