TD Securities - USD/CAD consolidates, supported in low/mid 1.01 area
TD Securities - "USD/CAD’s rally from the 1.0014 low last week struggled at the 50% retracement point before the advance resumed and we largely expect a similar pattern of trade as the market stalls around the 76.4% retracement resistance now. A minor consolidation in the market should be followed by renewed gains through the 1.0225 resistance area (intraday pivot as well as retracement resistance). We look for good support intraday to the mid 1.01 area (some risk of a slip back to the…

TD Securities - Medium-Term USD Outlook Improves
TD Securities - "We have upgraded our outlook for the USD across a broad front. We are adjusting our views to reflect some market developments that have occurred a little more rapidly than we had expected (such as the push up in USD/JPY). But we are also recognising the emergence of some trends that we feel support our long-held view that the USD’s secular bear trend is very mature and is poised to show signs of a further recovery.
(...) We have upgraded out USD/JPY forecast to reflect…

Societe Generale - Three Themes, One King
Societé Generale - "The FX markets are now under the influence of a trilogy of themes: the American economic revival, diverging monetary policy expectations and the (unfinished) euro area (EA) crisis.
Those themes all point in the same direction: a stronger dollar. Dollar strength is now far less dependent on risk conditions; the US economic outperformance and the fears of a not-too-distant Fed exit imply that the dollar is no longer a funding currency of choice in the carry trade. The…

NBF - Can Governor Poloz take some steam out of the loonie?
National Bank Financial - "The Bank of Canada is one of the few major central banks that has remained relatively passive regarding its currency. That stance may have inflated the degree of the loonie’s overvaluation and hurt our exporters, particularly manufacturers, who have seen their US market share shrink dramatically. While domestic demand picked up the slack in recent years, it would be unwise to expect it to continue compensating for underperforming exports. Canada will need exports…

UBS - AUDUSD As bear trend persists, there is potential for a test of the major support area at 1.0115 and 1.0103
UBS - "USDCHF NEUTRAL Resistance is at 0.9437, a break above which would open 0.9499. Support is at 0.9364, a breach here would expose 0.9320.
AUDUSD BEARISH As bear trend persists, there is potential for a test of the major support area at 1.0115 and 1.0103. Resistance is at 1.0254.
USDCAD BEARISH There is a critical support at 0.9987. A closing break below this would be further negative, triggering a deeper sell-off to 0.9933. Resistance is at 1.0083 ahead of 1.0132."

TD Securities - USD/CAD We remain bullish and think that modest USD dips are a buy
TD Securities - "USD/CAD is breaking out of the consolidation pattern that trapped the market in a tight range through the latter part of last week (above 1.0250/55) with a little more intent. Initial gains were capped in the 1.0270 area but the push higher seen so far today should see USD/CAD make minor new highs (above 1.0291) at least near-term. We rather think that the move implies scope for a push beyond the recent 1.0341 peak. We spot short-term support now at 1.0270 intraday, stronger…

UBS - Market still very long CAD
UBS - "Although USDCAD has made material gains over the last 9 months, the market is still very long CAD and buying reached a peak in mid-Q1 this year. The weak run of data and progressively softer policy pronouncements have prompted selling, but compared to the cumulative buying since 2009 there is a lot of liquidation potential, especially when compared to currencies like the AUD and NOK which are now either flat or heavily short on a structural level. We believe that CAD longs have been…

RBS - We continue to look for USD/CAD to move closer towards parity
Royal Bank of Scotland - "We do not expect any policy shift by the Bank of Canada (BoC) at its policy decision on 17 April. In our opinion, the data since the 6 March decision is not enough to warrant a material change in policy in either direction. We also do not think the data in the past quarter is enough to cause BoC officials to dramatically alter their outlook in the quarterly Monetary Policy Report (MPR), which will be released at the same time. In the January MPR, BoC officials…

TD Securities - USD/CAD pressures short-term support, risk of more near-term weakness rises
TD Securities - "USD/CAD’s technical picture has deteriorated somewhat today, in our opinion. We still think the market is consolidating but we had highlighted the 1.0180/85 area as important support for funds and the weakness in the USD below this support zone this morning tips the balance in favour of a bit more softness in the market from here. We may be looking at a more substantial retracement of the 0.99/1.0340 rally in the next week or so, in other words—potentially towards the 1.01…

Rabobank - "The AUD and the CAD have been the best performing G10 currencies on a 1 day view on the back of the bailout deal from Cyprus. These currencies continue to behave as a reasonable litmus test for ‘risk on’ behaviour although the outlook for both have recently been complicated by uncertainties over the direction of domestic central bank policy.

TD Securities - USD/CAD Look to buy dips
TD Securities - "The twin rejections at 1.0340 and the subsequent loss of short-term range support and the double top neckline trigger at 1.0257 clearly puts a softer spin on the charts for USD/CAD. Trend momentum has turned negative on the short-term term studies, suggesting limited scope for USD/CAD gains at the moment. But downside scope may also be limited. The measured move target derived from the 1.0340 double top has already been largely reached (1.0174). The USD has, so far, found…

Societe Generale - How Far We Could Run To The Topside in EURGBP Before It Peaks?
Societé Generale - "(...) now UK economic surprises are at almost their most negative level ever suggesting we are closer to a turning point. Surely Carney will do what must be done to ease so that event is yet to happen. The question is how far we could run to the topside in EURGBP before it peaks. From a valuation point of view, we are unsurprisingly getting to extremes as is typical in a regime break. The models then tend to follow and lag spot. More importantly, we moved to the more…
