The trend needle in USDCAD continues to point south and a move down this week  reinforces the bearish theme. Resistance at 1.3733, the 50-day EMA, remains intact for now. 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.

  • SUP 3: 91.56 Low Jun 9   
  • SUP 4: 91.44 Low Jun 8        

A bullish condition in Gilt futures remains intact and recent weakness appears corrective. Monday’s strong gains reinforce the current bullish theme. Key short-term support has been defined 92.23, the Jun 16 low. A break of this level is required to undermine a bull theme and signal scope for a deeper retracement. On the upside, sights are on 93.68, the Jun 13 high and bull trigger.
