FX Hedging Strategies: USD/CAD Trapped in Trading Range

July 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

USD/CAD Trapped in a Neutral 0.9724 – 1.0343 Trading Range

Active “Layered” hedging strategy - Sellers of USD/CAD should focus on resistance at 1.0235, 1.0343. A 3-month cable car option could also be incorporated into this strategy.
Disciplined “layered” hedging strategy - Buyers of USD/CAD should focus on support at 0.9895, 0.9724 and 0.9422. In addition, a 3-month enhanced forward could be considered for this strategy.

  • USD/CAD is trapped in a 0.9724 – 1.0343 trading range that has produced a neutral trend bias from a technical perspective.
  • A global economic slowdown is continue to be viewed as main concern for the Canadian dollar.
  • A marked slowdown in economic growth should be accompanied by a correction lower in commodity prices. This would be another negative factor for the CAD.
  • Current price action is viewed as a “base-building” process from a technical perspective.
