USDCAD Slips With CAD Rates Underperforming

CANADA
  • Rates underperformance helps CAD swing from performing mid-pack of the majors to second only to CHF, with 2Y GoC yields +2bps vs -2.5bps for Treasuries.
  • Amidst month-end rebalancing, the moves have continued long after further misses for the Chicago PMI and Conf.Board consumer confidence added to the softer than expected US ECI earlier, the latter coinciding with CAD monthly GDP broadly in line with expectations to track slightly stronger than latest BoC forecasts.
  • A session low of 1.3331 sees the pair ~140pips off intraday highs but remains above support seen at yesterday’s overnight low of 1.3300 after which lies the bear trigger of 1.3226 (Nov 15 low).
