Watching the CAD side today after BOC remarks

Seems like the BOC has been trying to walk a bit of a tightrope lately, hinting at future flexibility while also acknowledging inflation risks. Saw $EURCAD at 1.60758 earlier, didn't really move much today within its day range 1.60633–1.60979, but I'm curious if any sustained hawkish leanings start to trickle into the CAD crosses, especially against a slightly weaker Eurozone picture. Thinking about potential resistance levels if it starts to push lower.

Also keeping an eye on the broader sentiment after that slight uptick in $US30 to 54030.13. If that holds, could suggest some risk-on, but it's hard to tell if it's just noise or actual conviction. Thinking about whether to lean into short-term strength or wait for a clearer signal. What are others seeing on the CAD side?

That's a good point about the BOC trying to balance things. I'm new to watching currency crosses, so I'm curious what makes you think sustained hawkishness from BOC would have a bigger impact on CAD against EUR specifically, compared to other pairs?

The BOC's 'flexibility' sounds a lot like hedging. I'm not seeing enough in their statements to suggest a strong hawkish pivot for CAD that would consistently outweigh a weakening EUR, especially if the ECB continues to drag its feet.

The BOC has indeed been performing a balancing act. It's tough to see sustained hawkishness without more definitive economic data, especially with global headwinds. EURCAD might be range-bound for a while yet.
