CANADA
  • USDCAD has increased almost 50 pips since early in the session to hit 1.3533 and push above yesterday’s high.
  • The technical trend structure remains bullish, with a bull trigger at 1.3586 (Feb 13 high).
  • High beta majors are generally under pressure amidst some intraday USD strength despite net softer than expected durable goods orders and a decline in consumer confidence.
  • CAD outperforms SEK, NOK and NZD thanks to US linkages, but otherwise underperforming or at best unchanged on other crosses.
  • The second Q4 release of US GDP/PCE marks the next data focal point tomorrow before CAD GDP on Thu.
