USDCAD Towards Middle Of Recent Range Ahead Of BoC

CANADA
  • USDCAD at 1.345 continues to hold the 1.342-1.35 range seen in recent days ahead of today’s BoC decision. CAD reverses yesterday’s outperformance, underperforming all majors bar the USD.
  • Support is seen at 1.342 (20-day EMA) but the shallow pullback is considered corrective with resistance seen at 1.3542 (Jan 17 high).
  • The announcement comes at the new time of 0945ET with both the decision statement and now also the press release opening statement released then along with the MPR.
  • One important area will be to what extent the BoC sees the recent resurgence in its preferred core inflation metrics as “bumps along the way” in a path back towards the 2% inflation target. Preview: https://roar-assets-auto.rbl.ms/files/59603/BOCPreviewJan2024.pdf
