In its weekly report, the International Energy Agency noted that the oil market appears tighter than expected due to the less extreme impact of the latest wave of Omicron. Geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West could also pose upside risks to the price of oil going forward and with the US and UK removing key personnel from their Ukrainian embassies, things look to be getting worse there before they get better.<\/p><p>The stronger CAD has also been spurred by speculation that the BoC will raise interest rates as early as this week jumping ahead of the US Fed on Wednesday. Reuters estimates that the Canadian OIS market is pricing in around 21bps of tightening for the January meeting and almost 150bps for the year. Both headline and core inflation increased in December, so we should expect a hawkish signal from the BoC that it will raise rates soon with probabilities moving higher that they follow in step with the Fed either at the March or April meeting. Canada&#8217;s economy could, however, be harder hit by the latest Omicron wave in the near term, given the tighter restrictions that have been re-imposed. The risk then is that the market is positioned with expectations one way, but the BoC might be justified in exercising a little more caution in the near term and therefore risking disappointing the market.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The price action is approaching the levels that I would like to see the USDCAD reject for a continuation lower. If the Fed signal a more Hawkish stance than the BoC on Wednesday, we could blow through these swing highs on the H1 and test higher. In which case I will stand aside. If there is a decent rejection with high volume around 1.2620-1.2650 this will be the trigger for my short idea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forex Analysis &#8211; USDCAD Since the start of 2022, the CAD has been one of the best performing G10 currencies.
