CAD seen steady
“The return to normalized market conditions should provide for some directional movement following Monday’s holiday related consolidation.”
“Our FV estimate for USD/CAD is currently at 1.3672, suggesting stronger fundamental levels for the CAD.”
“Bullish/neutral—USD/CAD’s latest rally looks to have stalled around the 200 day MA (1.3812), with intraday price action showing a clear flat range roughly bound between 1.3800 and 1.3820.”
“The stalling has been echoed in the momentum indicators, and we note a slight moderation in the RSI back toward the lower 60s. A bearish reversal from here would immediately target 1.3750, a level that roughly corresponds to the 50 day MA (1.3751). To the upside, we see limited resistance ahead of 1.3900.”
