That’s a bit of a blow on the headline but note both im- and exports are on the rise which testifies of increased economic activity. I’m not overly worried after the initial spike in USDCAD on the headline number and seen the trade surplus with the US is narrowing again. Still a bit short EURCAD , stop tightened to 1.5440.
