Despite a recovery from last week’s lows and a further phase of strength Monday, the trend needle in USDCAD continues to point south and short-term gains appear corrective. Markets have traded either side of resistance at 1.3728, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of this average is required to highlight a possible stronger short-term reversal. For bears, sights are on key support at 1.3540, the Jun 16 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the downtrend.

Last week’s fresh trend highs in AUDUSD reinforce bullish conditions and the latest pullback is considered corrective. Gains have resulted in a print above key short-term resistance at 0.6595, the Jul 11 high and bull trigger. This marks a resumption of the uptrend and sights are on 0.6688, the Nov 7’ 24 high. Support to watch is at the 50-day EMA, at 0.6505. A clear break of this EMA would highlight a stronger reversal.
US TSYS/SUPPLY: Borrowing Requirements Upped In Line With MNI Expectations
Treasury's estimates of privately-held net marketable borrowing for the July - September 2025 and October - December 2025 quarters released Monday were almost exactly in line with MNI's estimates (Sources and Uses Table here - PDF).
- We would characterize the current quarter borrowing estimates as slightly on the high side of the median analyst expectation, with the latter quarter fairly close to expectations given what is usually a wide range for the further-out quarter. As such this should have little to no impact on expectations for Wednesday's Refunding announcement.
- For the Jul-Sep quarter, Treasury expects a $525B financing need (MNI expected $532B) with a $1007B borrowing requirement (MNI expected $1000B), with cash rising $393B to $850B by quarter-end (in line with consensus). Analyst borrowing requirement estimates for this quarter ranged from $942B - $1,087B.
- This represents a borrowing estimate $60B higher than announced in April's refunding, when excluding the cash raise that is now expected following the lifting of the federal debt limit ($453B more borrowing this quarter on $393B more cash by end-quarter).
- For the Oct-Dec quarter, Treasury expects a $494B financing need (MNI expected $525B) with a $590B borrowing requirement (MNI expected $600B), with cash remaining at $850B at quarter-end. Analyst borrowing requirement estimates for this quarter ranged from $534B - $726B.
- Note that regarding the April-June quarter, "excluding the lower than assumed end-of-quarter cash balance, actual borrowing was $56 billion lower than announced in April".
