Mid-Day Report: CAD Weakens after BoC, Dollar Gains Capped by ISM Services

Canadian dollar extends recent decline after BoC left rates unchanged at 1.00% as widely expected. The central noted in the accompanying statement that Q3 GDP growth, at 2.7% was better than projection. However, the composition of GDP "does not yet indicate a rebalancing towards exports and investment". Recovery in business investment spending was also "slower than anticipated". Meanwhile, BoC said inflation has "moved further below" the 2% target with core inflation held by "significant excess supply and by effects of heightened competition in the retail sales". And the outlook is "more persistent than anticipated". Overall, BoC said downside risks to inflation appear to be greater. The statement reaffirmed the case for BoC to stand pat in the near term, and could probably stay so for longer than originally thought. Also released from Canada trade balance showed CAD 0.1B surplus in October.

USD/CAD Mid-Day Outlook

Daily Pivots: (S1) 1.0627; (P) 1.0650; (R1) 1.0669; More...

USD/CAD's rally extends in early US session and reaches as high as 1.0697 so far. Upside momentum is a bit unconvincing with mild bearish divergence condition in 4 hours MACD. But further rally is still expected as long as 1.0630 minor support holds. Current rally would extend towards long term retracement level at 1.0803. But we'd expect strong resistance below there to bring topping. On the downside, below 1.0630 will turn bias back to the downside for a test on lower channel support first (now at 1.0497).
