CANADA: USDCAD Breaches Key Bull Trigger

May-09 15:06
  • USD strength helps push USDCAD up +0.75% at 1.2975 as it clears a bull trigger at 1.2964 (Dec 20, 2021 high)
  • A clear break here would be seen as an important medium-term bullish technical development, next opening 1.3029 (Nov 25, 2020 high).
  • As earlier, tight Can-US yield differentials (2Y +1bp, 10Y -3bp) helps CAD relatively outperform other majors despite the slide in oil prices.

  • Beyond haven demand, it’s unclear what the relative driver is after last week’s Canadian jobs report also took the edge off prospects of larger than 50bp hikes.
  • Two potentially key drivers ahead this week, with US CPI on Wed and then BoC’s Gravelle on Thu speaking on commodity price shocks and the impact on growth and inflation in Canada.
