The CAD needs to rally a little more to have any chance of improving – Scotiabank

The CAD rises. Shaun Osbornechief currency strategist at Scotiabank, discusses the outlook for the CAD.

Intraday patterns tilt slightly lower for USD

Overall, the CAD still looks relatively “cheap” to me at the lower end of its recent trading range against the USD, but the risk backdrop is likely to keep it trading on the defensive at least in the near term.

The USD’s drop from Thursday’s intraday high to end the session unchanged formed a bearish “doji” candle on the daily chart, but USD’s losses have been mild and CAD really needs to rally a little more today to have a chance. to improve.

Intraday patterns are slightly negative for the USD, but the USD remains above the short-term support (1.3635), which could unlock some more CAD strength.

Resistance at 1.3725/1.3735.
