Key Event Calendar:

Yesterday, USDCAD eased from 1.3169 down to 1.3094 before bouncing back to 1.3150. A subsequent move to 1.3115 stalled and the pairing settled near 1.3135/50 for the balance of the day. China posted better than expected trade data (+$51.35 billion surplus / exp $47.90 billion / prev $40.71 billion) sparking a global rally in stocks. The USD enjoyed broad-based strength during the overnight session taking USDCAD up from an Asian session low of 1.3119 to a London session high of 1.3160. The pairing eased to 1.3130 ahead of the Canadian employment release. Another surprisingly strong result for the 3rd straight month saw USDCAD immediately dip to 1.3069. The pairing bounced to 1.3102 before a brief move to 1.3063. Given that North American markets are pushing historical highs, continued broad USD strength appears to have limited USDCAD downside today. Given a near 2% rise in oil prices and the tremendous job gains in Canada, USDCAD has only shown a marginal improvement on yesterday's low of 1.3094.
