Key Quotes
“USDCAD remains range-bound around 1.13 though funds’ slow descent from the mid/upper 1.14s at the start of the month continues to play out from a slightly longer-term perspective as the market seeks a stronger sense of direction for the CAD.”
“Option expiries helped contain the movement in funds last week and more expiries stacked between 1.1250/1.13 today may further limit movement."
“On the charts, we see firm support in the low 1.12s still (channel and 40-day MA) and look for USD losses to slow and reverse from here in the near-term.“
“Weakness below 1.12 would suggest the risk of a little more USD softness into the end of the year before the market rallies in Q1.“
“We remain longer-term USD bulls and we continue to view USD dips as a buying opportunity.”
