The Canadian Dollar is trading a bit off its overnight peak around 1.3575 but retains a generally firm undertone. The pro-risk mood might be extending CAD sentiment a little support, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes. More USD/CAD weakness ahead “A likelier explanation for CAD gains is that we may be seeing the impact of the record net CAD short positions reflected in the recent CFTC data feeling increasingly uncomfortable with CAD strength.
Net short CAD activity picked up sharply through mid-year, reflecting weaker cyclical dynamics and the BoC’s relatively early start to the easing cycle.” “Like previous ramp ups in net selling of the CAD , the latest CAD slide stopped around 1.39 and now, the CAD’s three week advance from that low may be squeezing weaker CAD short hands and giving the CAD a short-covering lift. Spot losses have extended marginally below 1.3595 to reach a four-month low for the USD.
