Don’t miss this month’s edition of the George Davis Report, where George discusses the erosion of some topside hurdles for USD/CAD.

What you need to know:

1

Last month, we highlighted how a shift in US interest rate expectations might have created a headwind for USD gains.

2

While this is still the case more broadly, recent developments have removed some of the topside hurdles for USD/CAD more specifically.

3

These include a more dovish Bank of Canada as well as pending seasonal considerations.

4

In addition, the risk of more choppy market conditions should be taken into consideration as we head toward the US election – especially when overlayed with carry trade developments and the risk backdrop.

5

We discuss the implications of these developments for USD/CAD, as well reiterating the acute sensitivity of the 1.4000 area

For the trading range:

USD/CAD

Buyers

1.3400/1.3500
