Key Quotes
“The run of softer Canadian data should continue through into next week's Q4 GDP outcome, however the stronger than expected CPI and what feels like a more stable near term outlook for energy markets will leave the Bank of Canada neutral”.
“The risks of a short term push below 1.3650 appear to be rising, but we would view such a move as an opportunity to buy into weakness. Neutral at current levels”.
“USD/CAD seems to have found a base around 1.3640/50, according to short term charts. Short and medium term momentum also suggesting sideways trade”.
