CAD is still the favored G10 commodity currency

“With commodities surging and completing a long-term base, the commodity currencies should benefit, with USD/CAD one of our favored expressions.

“We still see scope for USD/CAD to eventually test the 1.2062 low, which is expected to be a tough initial barrier.”

“It’s worth noting though that a break below the 1.2062 2017 low would complete a multi-year ‘double top’ on the monthly charts, marking a highly significant technical breakdown.”
