Today’s Notable Sentiment ShiftsCAD – The Canadian dollar strengthened against its US counterpart for a six straight day on Tuesday as money markets bet that the Bank of Canada would be just as aggressive as the Federal Reserve in hiking interest rates.
BMO Capital Markets notes that “in the wake of last week’s FOMC, we have seen the rise in Canadian interest rates mirror that in the US and oil has remained above $100 a barrel. The market is finally buying the loonie on the back of higher oil prices.”
USD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSUSD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
At their March meeting the Fed delivered on a 25bsp hike as expected with Fed’s Bullard the only dissenter voting for a 50bsp hike. The Dot Plot saw a big upgrade from 3 hikes (Dec) to 7 hikes for 2022, with the FFR seen reaching 2.75%-3.0% in 2023 before falling in 2024. The Fed did however lower their neutral rate from 2.5% to 2.4% which were a bit of a negative. Inflation forecasts for 2022 were raised to 4.1% (previous 2.7%) but med-term inflation saw less aggressive upgrades. Even though the overall message and projections were definitely hawkish, the fact that GDP estimates were lowered to 2.8% from 4.0% shows a Fed that expects their actions to impact demand and could also be incorporating some of the recent geopolitical uncertainties. The Fed didn’t provide any new details on QT but did note that the decision to start selling assets will be made at a coming meeting (markets consensus sees a July start as likely) but did add that the FOMC made good progress in their QT discussion with a May announcement very likely. During the presser the Chair expressed his view that the economy is doing really well and, in his view, will be more than able to withstand the incoming rate hikes (a very similar situation like we had in 4Q18). When asked whether 50bsp hikes could be on the table, the chair explained that the FOMC has not made decision to front-load hikes and will keep an eye on incoming inflation data to determine their policy actions going forward, but of course added that every incoming meeting was live. Overall, the Fed was
hawkish, but due to very strong pre-positioning and close to peak hawkishness priced for STIR markets the meeting saw a ‘sell-the-fact’ reaction across major asset classes.
2. Global & Domestic Economy
As the reserve currency, the USD’s global usage means it’s usually inversely correlated to the global economy and global trade. The USD usually appreciates when growth & inflation slow (disinflation) and depreciates when growth & inflation accelerates (reflation). Thus, current expectations of a cyclical slowdown (and possible stagflation) are good for the Dollar. Incoming data will be watched in relation to the ‘Fed Put’ as there are many similarities between now and 4Q18, where the Fed were also tightening into a slowdown. If growth data slows and the Fed stays hawkish it’s a positive for the USD, once the Fed pivots dovish that’ll be a negative for the USD.
3. CFTC Analysis
Overall net-long positioning was a risk for the USD going into the FOMC, where due to very strong performance in recent weeks, it was a very high bar for a hawkish Fed to see a sustained move higher in the USD before seeing a bit of a correction. Leveraged funds now hold a net-short in the USD, but unless geopolitics offer meaningful safe haven inflows or stagflation fears jump higher, some short-term downside is possible.
4. The Week Ahead
The week ahead will be one the quietest ones we’ve had in a while on the economic data side. The main highlights will be incoming Fed speak after last week’s hawkish FOMC policy decision, with focus on whether we get any additional insights and opinions on the rate path, inflation and of course QT. With a lack of key data to give further insights into how fast growth is slowing, the stagflation narrative will probably get most of its cues from commodity prices. Keep in mind that the Dollar has an inverse correlation to global growth and usually has a positive expected return during periods of disinflation and stagflation. We’ll also be keeping an eye on further geopolitical developments, where the USD’s safe haven status will play a role in possible short-term directional moves as well. However, if we don’t see any major trending moves in commodities , and we don’t have any major geopolitical developments, the USD is still close to cycle highs and means it remains vulnerable to some profit taking and additional short-term corrective price action. Watching key support at 97.70 will be key as a break and close below that support arguably opens up room for a dive towards 97.00. Just keep in mind that the bias for the USD remains bullish in the med-term , so any moves lower are expected to be more tactical in nature, unless driven by specific catalysts of course.
CAD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: NEUTRAL
1. Monetary Policy
The BoC did not surprise at their March meeting by hiking rates to 0.50% from 0.25% and continuing the reinvestment phase regarding asset purchases. The bank noted that the Russia/Ukraine war was a new major uncertainty for the economy and that as a result inflation is now expected to be higher in the near-term. They were optimistic about the growth outlook though and reiterated that it expects further interest rate rises will be needed. On the QT side, Gov Macklem noted that around 40% of the bank's bond holdings were due to mature within two years, and suggested that balance sheet could shrink quickly, and also added that they will
discuss ending the reinvestment phase and starting QT at the April meeting. The Governor also said he didn’t rule out the potential for 50bsp rate rises as oil is putting upside pressure on oil , noting that oil prices around $110 per barrel could add another percentage point to inflation . With markets implying close to another 5 hikes this year, we remain cautious on the currency as a slowing US and Canadian economy means the bank should struggle to maintain it’s current hawkish path in the weeks and months ahead.
2. Intermarket Analysis Considerations
Oil’s massive post-covid recovery has been impressive, driven by various factors such as supply & demand (OPEC’s production cuts), strong global demand recovery, and of course ‘higher for longer’ than expected inflation . The geopolitical crisis the world is facing right now have opened up a big push higher in WTI, trading at levels last seen since 2008 last week. With oil prices at these levels the risk to demand destruction and stagflation is higher than ever and means we remain cautious oil in the med-term . Reason for that view is: Synchronised policy tightening from DM central banks targeting demand, slowing growth and inflation , a consensus that is very long oil (growing calls for $100 WTI), very steep backwardation futures curve which usually sees negative forward returns, heightened implied volatility . However, recent geopolitical risks have been a key focus point for oil and means escalation and de-escalation will be important to watch.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the CAD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the CAD.
4. CFTC Analysis
We think the recent price action and positioning data has seen the CAD take a very similar path compared to April and Oct 2021 where markets were way too aggressive and optimistic to price in upside for the CAD, only to then see majority of it unwind. However, oil prices remain in focus as a key intermarket driver, albeit the correlation has been very hit and miss over recent weeks.
5. The Week Ahead
The data schedule is feather light for the CAD this week. We continue to remain cautious on the CAD anddespite continued calls for a roaring economy we do not share the optimism. The recent jobs print, even though it was positive at face value, was not that impressive when incorporating the Omicron-related drop. Furthermore, even though inflation were higher than expected, it wasn’t the type of upside scare we’ve seen in other economies like the US, UK and EU. If expectations for a slowdown in the US and Canadian economies are correct, it increases the probability that the BoC will need to turn dovish in coming weeks and months and means we continue to look for upside in the AUDCAD on a med-term basis, but in the short-term we are cautious of some corrective price action after the one-sided upside we saw last week so just keep that in mind.
Ascending Triangle (USDCAD, Daily)The canadian dollar has a text book ascending triangle and is currently sitting at the support line. WIll wait for bullish signs in order to enter (i.e. an up bar closing near the highs). That will show buying interest at the level. If it breaks the trendline then I may look to short it. If I find a long trade then I'll hold for the breakout of the top of the ascending triangle in anticipation of a move higher. The idea being that the bias for these patterns is for it to breakout of the top of the triangle.
USDCAD - BuyUSDCAD currently lies within a support zone both from the horizontal support and the trendline. Its expected the react by rejecting the zone to complete the M pattern formed during the move to the downside.

Price moving very slowly bearish, for more I consider this more of a consolidation which goes against my trading plan. The overall structure of the market is bearish but until I see a strong bearish candle pushing price lower I would be very wary about opening any positions here.
M15 Timeframe
Need to wait for more hourly confirmation.

Price breaking structure to the upside. We have seen an attempt to break back within but HTF momentum has managed to push price higher.
I am currently in an open position with this looking for HTF momentum to continue to push price higher, even if we do set a new trend for this reversal we could still take a slice from this deep pullback.
M15 Timeframe
We have a nice break and retest of structure with a strong wick rejection and momentum.
Looking for momentum to continue to push price higher.

USDCAD Channel Up but divergence may be created.The USDCAD pair has been trading within a Channel Up since the June 01 2021 Low (which was also the market bottom). However, since the December 20 2021 High, it hasn't delivered a Higher High. In fact the December 20 High made a Double Top with the August 20 High, creating the current Resistance.
This has created a new bearish sequence within the Channel Up and even though the price is supported on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), the longer it fails to break above the 1.29000 Lower High, the more likely it is to test the 1.22875 October 21 Low (which was a Higher Low on the Channel Up and current Support).
On the other hand, a break above the 1.2900 Lower High, restores the long-term bullish sentiment and will target the 1.33880 (October 29 2020) High.

USD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSUSD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
The Jan FOMC decision was hawkish on multiple fronts. The statement signalled a March hike as expected, but Chair Powell portrayed a very hawkish tone. Even though Powell said they can’t predict the rate path with certainty, he stressed the economy is in much better shape compared to the 2015 cycle and that will have implications for the pace of hikes (more and faster). Furthermore, he explained that there is ‘quite a bit of room’ to raise rates without damaging employment, which suggests upside risks to the rate path. A big question going into the meeting was how concerned the Fed was about recent equity market volatility . But the Chair explained that markets and financial conditions are reflecting policy changes in advance and that in aggregate the measures they look at isn’t showing red lights. Thus, any ‘Fed Put’ is much further away and inflation is the Fed’s biggest concern right now. The Chair also didn’t rule out the possibility of a 50bsp hike in March or possibly hiking at every meeting this year, which was hawkish as it means the Fed wants optionality to move more aggressive if they need to. We didn’t get new info on the balance sheet and Powell reiterated that they’re contemplating a start of QT after hiking has begun and they’ll discuss this in coming meetings. Overall, the tone and language were a lot more hawkish than the Dec meeting and more hawkish than consensus was expecting.
2. Global & Domestic Economy
As the reserve currency, the USD’s global usage means it’s usually inversely correlated to the global economy and global trade. The USD usually appreciates when growth & inflation slow (disinflation) and depreciates when growth & inflation accelerates (reflation).

If growth data slows and the Fed stays hawkish it’s a positive for the USD, once the Fed pivots dovish that’ll be a negative for the USD.
3. CFTC Analysis
The USD remains a net-long across major participants, but with price action looking stretched and with peak hawkishness for the Fed arguably close with >6 hikes priced, the risk to reward of chasing USD strength is not very attractive right now. Continued stagflation and geopolitical risks it mean that stretched positioning might not be as important as usual. JP Morgan also shared some stats that suggest the USD has a historical tendency to strengthen in the 6 months going into a first hike but then to weaken during the 6 months directly after a first hike. This is an interesting phenomenon which is worth keeping in mind given the USD’s recent performance.

This is an interesting phenomenon which is worth keeping in mind given the USD’s recent performance.
4. The Week Ahead
The week ahead for the USD will be dominated by ongoing geopolitical tensions as well as the incoming FOMC meeting. On the geopolitical front, escalation and de-escalation will affect safe haven flows which means it will remain an important driver for the USD, especially with rising commodity prices also stoking growing fears of stagflation. On the FOMC side, a 25bsp hike is fully priced, but markets still have a lot to think about as the March meeting will be accompanied by an updated Summary of Economic Projections, where the markets want to see how the dots have changed (previous meeting showed 3 hikes for 2022). STIR markets currently priced in close to 7 hikes, so anything below 5 ought to be seen as dovish. During his recent testimony, Powell said that markets have responded to their guidance with good transmission and have priced in a much higher tightening path, so
if their tone and comments alone have done so much heavy lifting there isn’t much reason for them to suddenly ease off on that. It’s true that the Ukraine/Russia war does add uncertainty, but with the US economy and financial sector far less exposed to Russia compared to Europe, the biggest ‘risk’ from the geopolitical situation is higher commodity prices that feeds into higher inflation expectations. Thus, even though the war adds uncertainty (and the Fed is likely going to say that it does) there is very little reason for them to ease off right now, especially with political pressures building going into the mid-terms. But won’t the Fed be concerned with asset markets by coming across even more hawkish? Despite growth concerns, a war in Europe, global sanctions, additional commodity supply shocks and expectations for 6 Fed hikes and QT, if the S&P is down less than 14% with all of that going on it means that any ‘Fed put’ is probably much further away and no need for the bank to change their tone just yet. How far a hawkish Fed can push long-end yields and the USD is up for debate though.
CAD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: NEUTRAL
1. Monetary Policy
The BoC did not surprise at their March meeting by hiking rates to 0.50% from 0.25% and continuing the reinvestment phase regarding asset purchases. The bank noted that the Russia/Ukraine war was a new major uncertainty for the economy and that as a result inflation is now expected to be higher in the near-term. They were optimistic about the growth outlook though and reiterated that it expects further interest rate rises will be needed. On the QT side, Gov Macklem noted that around 40% of the bank's bond holdings were due to mature within two years, and suggested that balance sheet could shrink quickly, and also added that they will

The Governor also said he didn’t rule out the potential for 50bsp rate rises as oil is putting upside pressure on oil, noting that oil prices around $110 per barrel could add another percentage point to inflation. With markets implying close to another 5 hikes this year, we remain cautious on the currency as a slowing US and Canadian economy means the bank should struggle to maintain it’s current hawkish path in the weeks and months ahead.
2. Intermarket Analysis Considerations
Oil’s massive post-covid recovery has been impressive, driven by various factors such as supply & demand (OPEC’s production cuts), strong global demand recovery, and of course ‘higher for longer’ than expected inflation. The geopolitical crisis the world is facing right now have opened up a big push higher in WTI, trading at levels last seen since 2008 last week. With oil prices at these levels the risk to demand destruction and stagflation is higher than ever and means we remain cautious oil in the med-term. Reason for that view is: Synchronised policy tightening from DM central banks targeting demand, slowing growth and inflation, a consensus that is very long oil (growing calls for $100 WTI), very steep backwardation futures curve which usually sees negative forward returns, heightened implied volatility. However, recent geopolitical risks have been a key focus point for oil and means escalation and de-escalation will be important to watch.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the CAD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the CAD.
4. CFTC Analysis
We think the recent price action and positioning data has seen the CAD take a very similar path compared to April and Oct 2021 where markets were way too aggressive and optimistic to price in upside for the CAD, only to then see majority of it unwind. However, oil prices remain in focus as a key intermarket driver.
5. The Week Ahead
Markets might once more be getting too bullish on the CAD at the wrong time. The CAD, which has not really been benefiting from the big rise in energy prices, saw quite a jolt higher on Friday after the recent jobs report. At face value it was a good print, but under the hood it there was some negatives. Firstly, even though the headline printed above max expectations, the bulk of the gains were part-time jobs. Furthermore, if we account for last month’s contraction, full-time employment only grew by 40K. This week the calendar has CPI data, where another surprise upside print is expected by some to see an even more hawkish BoC. However, with over 6 hikes once again embedded and priced in STIR markets, and with WTI prices started to show some signs of a slowdown in bullish momentum, the odds are arguably tilted towards a more dovish as opposed to more hawkish BoC in the months ahead. However, the short-term could see further strength in the case of a beat, but we will use any additional upside in the CAD to look for selling opportunities.
