Thoughts on CAD strength and $NZDCAD after recent BOC talk

The latest hawkish rhetoric from the Bank of Canada is certainly making waves, even if they didn't hike rates this time around. It feels like they're trying to differentiate themselves from other central banks that might be nearing a pivot, suggesting a longer hold on higher rates.

I'm watching how this plays out, especially for pairs like $NZDCAD. The New Zealand dollar has its own set of challenges, and if CAD maintains this underlying strength, we could see $NZDCAD continue to test lower levels. Currently, it's at 0.82268, and a break below 0.8221 could signal more downside pressure in the near term. It's not a definite short just yet, but definitely one to keep an eye on as the divergence in central bank outlooks becomes clearer.
