Spot is trading a little lower on the session
"Weak risk appetite is a potential headwind for the CAD in the absence of any clearer drivers. But narrower US/Canada spreads as US yields sink should act as a buffer for the CAD to some extent. The CAD already look’s somewhat mispriced relative to the 15bps or so narrowing in short-term US/Canada swap spreads seen over the past 2-3 weeks."
"Spot is trading a little lower on the session but the charts suggest the USD retains a firm underlying tone and support in the low 1.4000s is helping sustain the recent uptrend and give the short-term trading pattern the look of a consolidation more than anything else at this point. Intraday support is 1.4020 ahead of 1.3970/75. Resistance is 1.4065/75."
