Key Quotes
“Sentiment is dominating as market participants assess the ongoing turbulence in emerging markets and its implications for global growth and commodity prices. Risk reversals are elevated, pricing a relatively sizeable premium for protection against near-term CAD weakness. CAD’s risk profile leaves it vulnerable to swift, knee-jerk declines in periods of risk aversion”.
“Momentum signals are neutral and trend strength is muted. The one month range implies near-term resistance in the 1.2900- 1.2920 area, with additional resistance at 1.2950 and 1.2980. Near-term support appears limited ahead of 1.2800 and 1.2780”.
