CAD Mid-day Analysis

Like the Swiss, Pound and Yen, the Canadian is catching a relief rally or short covering benefit from surprise exchange rate developments from the SNB. Limiting the Canadian on the upside is lingering oil price weakness, ongoing weakness in global equities and deflationary fears under every rock. Down trend channel resistance in the March Canadian is seen up at 84.18 today and that resistance falls to 84.00 early next week.
