USD/CAD test support in low 1.33s. Economists at Scotiabank analyze the pair’s outlook.
The BoC’s Summary of Deliberations for the December 6th policy decision is released today. The last summary of the policy-making discussion noted that policymakers ‘needed to see downward momentum in core inflation to be confident that monetary policy was sufficiently restrictive’ to get inflation back on target. A somewhat hawkish-sounding run through of the BoC’s latest thinking might give the CAD a bit more support.
The charts suggest firm resistance at 1.3350/1.3360, with stronger resistance at 1.3400/1.3450.
Support is 1.3330/1.3335 and 1.3280.
