USD/CAD eyes on US releases
It’s all about the dollar. Spot managed to quickly leave behind the 1.1400 barrier on Tuesday, renewing highs in levels last seen in July 2009 near 1.1470 although cashing up some gains afterwards. Ahead in the session, there area no scheduled releases in Canada, whereas the ADP report and the ISM non manufacturing will take centre stage in the US economy. According to analysts at TD Securities, “The outlook for USDCAD remains bullish on the charts, as there are no clear caps on the upside. Intraday, a break above 1.1480 would open a move towards 1.1550. Longer term, 1.18 remains in sight over the next few months”.
