USD/CAD eyes the first weekly gain in five on upbeat options market signals
USD/CAD remains indecisive on a day while taking rounds to 1.3460-50 during early Friday. Even so, the Loonie pair braces for the first weekly gain in five amid upbeat signals from the options market.
That said, a one-month risk reversal (RR) of the USD/CAD pair, a ratio of call options versus put options, also known as the bullish bets and the bearish bets in that order, printed the first positive figures in three days at the latest, to +0.075 by the end of Thursday’s North American session.
It’s worth noting that the weekly RR reverses the previous negative figure of -0.323 with +0.100 by the press time.
It should be noted that the firmer prices of Oil, Canada’s key export, contrasts with the US Dollar’s inability to cheer the hawkish Federal Reserve (Fed) comments to restrict immediate USD/CAD moves.
