Key Quotes
"While CAD has lagged the underperformance trends against the USD given the persistent declines in AUD/CAD and NZD/CAD, we sense a sustained break of this area should confirm a deeper recovery phase."
"This area represents the mid-September high and the 76.4% retracement of the decline from the March peak. Upside breaks should allow for a closer test, if not break of that 1.1280 high."
