The Canadian dollar awaits Friday's release of December and Q4 GDP, which could be the worst reading in 6 months. The bullish bias of the pair is especially highlighted by the fact that it took as many as 12 sessions for USDCAD to drop 2.8% earlier this month, but took as few as 3 sessions to pare back all those losses.

Immigrants are loving USDCAD above 1.10, Homes 10% cheaper for the RMB funded cash buyers! Mortgage lending rules were made strict last year and this has tempered house inflation. One thing with Canadian retailers is they look for any excuse to raise prices and now they have it with the exchange rate being as such! I wouldnt be surprised to see inflation ticking up in a few quarters once data comes out.

there are about 5 reasons why CAD will continue to underperorm most currencies this year. Some are evevn talking about Canada importing more Iphones than exporting Blackberries.

Rezz, let's keep our eye on it. I shouldn't be surprised if NFP #'s are explained away over the next few days.

Thanks Dave.. its always tough to pick a bottom as you say. My call was based on the yield differential on Aussie and NZ 10 year bonds being only 40bps, and under 4% price difference over 10 year bonds which no longer justifies the relative valuation. In any case after todays poor NFP, deflation is still in play which can depress the short term NZD yield outlook. JPY crosses looking vulnerable after NFP

audnzd weekly H&S target I still have outstanding at 1.0665, current price at 1.0755 so almost there. Mind you there is scope for some tolerance being required for such a large move so bottom picking probably not wise. A move above 1.0915 would alert.

"This could be the hottest currency trade of 2014" - CNBC http://www.cnbc.com/id/101304920

With headlines like these its time for reversal esp with over aggressive rate hike forecasts on NZD that wont materialize fully ... AUDNZD safest to go long with 1.14 medium term target.
