Key Quotes
“Recessionary growth conditions and near 50-50 odds of a BoC cut at their 20 Jan meeting leave risks skewed toward the topside for USD/CAD”.
“That said, talk of 1.50 and even 1.60 in 2016 suggest that this burst of USD/CAD strength is very well owned and nearing its denouement”.
“Momentum and trend signals across time frames suggest USD/CAD has further to run. Any pullbacks should be limited to 1.40”.
