A big level up here in USDCAD and one that if broken, could see a quick move on 1.3000.

We have large trade deficits with Mexico and Canada. NAFTA, which is under renegotiation right now, has been a bad deal for U.S.A. Massive relocation of companies & jobs. Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum will only come off if new & fair NAFTA agreement is signed. Also, Canada must..

We’ve also the BOC monetary policy meeting risk this week so I’m just looking to nick a few pips if the level holds, rather than a longer-term play.
