A bit lower on the headline and participation rate taking CAD a few spreads lower. The rotation from Part- into Full time jobs and the average earnings up should prevent the CAD from falling to far imo. And we still have Nafta and oil supporting the loonie in the back ground .
Keeping a small EURCAD short running
