USDCAD Shunts Lower As Extends Downward Momentum After CAD GDP

CANADA
  • USDCAD has shunted to a session low of 1.3584 before bouncing 10 pips, down from a high of 1.3651 seen prior to stronger than expected CAD GDP for both Q1 and the April flash.
  • GDP helped kickstart a move lower which continued with noise as the Chicago PMI missed and then with this latest shift lower coming once the US JOLTS beat had been digested.
  • However, overnight strength in the pair and the generally bullish run means it only falls back into yesterday’s range, the twin lows of which at 1.3567/68 suggested some mild support before perhaps firmer support at the 20-day EMA of 1.3539.
  • The S&P E-mini remains under pressure but CAD is second only to NOK amongst majors today after WTI pared a large part of earlier losses.
