USDCAD Pulls Back After Clearing Three Resistance Levels

CANADA
  • USDCAD has unwound 70pips of today’s outsized gains that saw it clear three resistance levels, with positioning into month-end potentially helping exacerbate the swing.
  • Currently sitting at 1.3576 (+0.6%) off a high of 1.3646, it is still some 70 pips higher since a mixed GDP report, with FI seemingly trading the stronger headline figure and CAD the weaker underlying details. The latter helped build on earlier momentum from potential flows linked to RBC plans to purchase of HSBC Canada.
  • The session high of 1.3646 forms initial resistance after which could lie 1.3691 (61.8% retrace of Oct-Nov pullback), with Powell plus US GDP/ADP in focus tomorrow with a light Canadian docket.
