USD/CAD Headed Higher?

USD/CAD Headed Higher?

The US and Canada both released trade numbers this morning. The US reported a smaller trade deficit while Canada reported a larger one. Here are the trade charts courtesy of FX360.com

US Trade Balance


Canadian Trade Balance


The currency to watch is USD/CAD. From a trade flow perspective, a shrinking deficit in the US and an increasing deficit in Canada could spell more gains for USD/CAD. The currency pair is currently trading right below our Bollinger Band buy zone and if it closes above 1.2515, we could see a move to 1.28.
