A primary downtrend in USDCAD remains intact and short-term gains are considered corrective. Resistance at the 20-day EMA, at 1.3713, has been breached. A continuation higher would signal scope for a stronger retracement. Pivot resistance to monitor is at the 50-day EMA, at 1.3821. Key support and the bear trigger has been defined at 1.3540, the Jun 16 low. Clearance of this price point would resume the downtrend.

Euribor futures have extended higher alongside Bunds since the European open, but yesterday’s highs remain intact for now. The whites/reds are +1.0 to +2.0 ticks versus yesterday’s settlement at typing, with greens/blues little changed.

• While yesterday’s German budget/issuance announcement prompted a renewed steepening in the German curve, the spillover into Euribor implied rates was fairly contained.
• The risk of gradual hikes is already embedded into the curve from H2 2026 onwards, with markets needing to observe the actual economic impact of higher spending before contemplating a more aggressive monetary policy response.
• ECB-dated OIS are up to 1.5bps more dovish through the next 12-months, still consistent with one more 25bp cut this cycle.
• Today’s regional calendar is light, with focus turning to the Spanish and French flash June inflation prints on Friday.
