EU: Von Der Leyen To Meet Victor Orban To Discuss Energy Security

May-09 15:11

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is travelling to Hungary to meet Hungarian President Victor Orban this evening in a bid to convince Budapest to end a blockade on the EU proposal to ban Russian oil.

  • The meeting comes after von der Leyen this morning promised at the EU parliament to begin a process that would reform EU voting. The reform is ostensibly designed to hasten EU decision making but has been critised by some as an attempt to strip veto rights from dissenting states like Hungary.
  • EU Commission spox: 'President von der Leyen is travelling this afternoon to Hungary to meet PM Viktor Orbán. They will discuss issues related to European security of energy supply.'

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.
