Dema, good luck. friday's jobs numbers from Canada 1.5 hours BEFORE the release of the US jobs numbers and they could be bad. expect canadian payrolls DOWN 43K from UP 36K. we could hit 1.10 by end of this week if stocks are spooked by jobs. but unsure about 1.17.

And before that on May /2006

mo, there's stll room towards 1.08 and 1.03. We need severe deleveraing accompanied with drop in oil for USDCAD to jump back up. 60% chance of that happening by end of summer. But USD weakness such a major factor.

Rama, agreed on fiscal balance, which supports my forecast for 1.08 (0.93) in USDCAD followed by 1.03 (0.97).
