CAD strength on oil, what's next?
Saw $CADUSD pushing 0.71711 today, up nearly half a percent. Clearly, that oil bounce is providing some tailwind, but I'm looking at how sustainable this is. If crude dips back, are we going to see a quick reversal? Still keeping an eye on the upcoming BoC commentary for any hints on rate path divergance from the Fed, that'll be the real decider for any sustained move past immediate commodity plays.
That's a good point about the BoC commentary. While oil provides immediate support, any sustained CAD strength will likely hinge more on interest rate differentials and how the BoC signals its future policy relative to the Fed, especially with inflation still a concern.
