USDCAD Pulls Back After Last Week's Likely Extension Of CAD Net Shorts

CANADA
  • USDCAD pushes through to session lows of 1.3515, aided by a backdrop of the S&P e-mini and WTI near session highs, but in doing so is only back to Thursday’s levels.
  • The pair saw a notable extension of a bull cycle last week, registering a high of 1.3575 after which lies a key resistance at 1.3655 (May 26 high) whilst support is seen at 1.3440 (Aug 15 low).
  • The bulk of those increases came after a tilt back to CAD net shorts, with latest CFTC data for Aug 15 showing a slip from -0.4% to -7.2% OI for the largest net short position since mid-to-late June. It started August at +4% for the largest net longs since Sep’22.
