USDCAD Through Support As Equites Gain

CANADA
  • Equity futures extending highs helps tilt USDCAD a little lower still as it extends post CAD GDP/US ECI moves.
  • Touching as low as 1.3787, the pair has pushed below support at 1.3797 (Jul 25 low), opening 1.3749 (20-day EMA) and 1.3707 (50-day EMA).
  • Tomorrow’s option expiry remains on the lighter side with the FOMC decision still to come today, with $450m at 1.3795 for the more notable of nearby strikes.
  • Recall the heavy CAD net short backdrop, with CFTC data showing a historically large 51% of OI the day before last week's BoC decision.
