USDCAD Takes Step Nearer To >1.37 Resistance

CANADA
  • USDCAD extends to new session highs of 1.3673 as equities remain under pressure with ESA now -1.9% after yesterday’s +1.5%.
  • Souring risk sentiment and oil reversing earlier solid gains leads here rather than a rate differential story with the 2Y Can-US yield diff at -48bps narrowing slightly on the day.
  • Continued upward pressure could see a test of resistance at 1.3705 (Dec 16 high) after which sits 1.3751 (Nov 4 high).
  • The day's move has been broadly one directional on stronger than expected US data.
