"Measures of capacity pressures, inflation expectations and capex intentions all moderated from the last survey, although future sales expectations saw a slight recovery."
"The BOS provides a crude reminder as to why we despise the CAD and why it remains a strategic sell on rallies. Our focus shifts topside in USDCAD with 1.3450 a key resistance marker, though a move higher from there will require a very dovish Poloz next week. We continue to favor CAD shorts vs. AUD and NOK."
