The Canadian dollar is flat, consolidating towards the lower end of its one week range. Canadian trade data was better than expected this morning (-1.9bn actual vs. -2.5bn expected), which is a positive sign for the Canadian economy, building on July’s strong trade data. Oil prices are lending additional support to CAD, as WTI approaches $50/barrel once again. CAD’s main drivers remain mixed as yield spreads continue to widen in a CAD negative manner.
Today’s Suggested Range USD/CAD: 1.3150 – 1.3250
