AUD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
At their April meeting, the RBA took a slightly more hawkish stance by removing their reference to ‘patience’ in terms of policy tightening. With the bank taking a sanguine view of rising price pressures, the statement did reveal a growing concern for inflation with 10 references to ‘inflation’ in the statement. The bank explained that higher energy and commodity price could see a sizeable increase to inflation forecasts in the May report. In their Financial Stability report the bank urged borrowers to prepare for an increase in rates, which was a further signal from the bank. Even though the meeting showed a bank that is turning the page, the statement also revealed very similar conditionality such as incoming wage and inflation data. Following the meeting, markets have a bit of an overreaction by pricing in a >80% chance of a rate hike at the May meeting but was later pushed back to <30%. Given the importance of wage data, and since that is only release on the 18th of May, the most likely meeting for a first hike is the June meeting. Westpac investment bank agrees with our take with the bank expecting a 15bsp lift off in June, followed by 25bsp hikes in July, August, Oct and Nov. Even though this confirms our fundamental bullish bias, the >14 hikes priced by end 2023 means risks of lower repricing is building.
2. Idiosyncratic Drivers & Intermarket Analysis
Apart from the RBA, there are 3 drivers we’re watching for the med-term outlook: Recovery – unlike other nations where growth & inflation is expected to slow, Australia is expected to see recovery, mostly thanks to stimulus in China China – With the PBoC & CCP stepping up monetary and fiscal stimulus, any recovery in China bodes well for Australia (China accounts for 40% of Australian exports). It also means the current virus situation in China posesshort-term downside risks for AUD. The AUKUS defence pact could see retaliation against Aussie goods and is worth keeping on the radar as well Commodities – Iron Ore (31%), Coal (14%) and LNG (10%) is more than 50% of Aussie exports, with rising prices giving the AUD huge support from terms of trade. If commodities remain supported it remains a support for AUD, but of course also means any sizeable corrections would weigh on the AUD, which means geopolitical and China demand developments remain focus points.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the AUD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the AUD.
4. CFTC Analysis
It’s taken many weeks of stretched positioning, but AUD net-shorts have continued to unwind and have moved out of stretched territory. After a decent run higher, price action has been looking stretched, which means we’ll prefer deeper pullbacks before initiating new med-term AUD longs.
5. The Week Ahead
The main focus for the AUD in the week ahead will be QQ CPI data, China developments and commodities. For the QQ CPI, market consensus is expecting quite a jump with YY headline seen at 4.6% from 3.5%, with both the Trim and Weighted YY measures both seen comfortably above 3%. This supports the idea that the RBA will be looking raise rates at upcoming meetings by stating that inflation developments have brought forward the likely timing of a first hike. However, whether a beat or not, the most likely scenario for lift off remains in June. On China’s side, markets will be watching Caixin PMI as well as the Covid situation (what’s good or bad for China usually spills over into the AUD so pay attention to that). For commodities, the geopolitical tensions have seen commodity prices surge and have given Australia’s terms of trade a solid boost. As commodities have been supported by geopolitical stress and stimulus hopes from China, anything that dents that optimism and sees mean reversion in commodities will be important to watch for the AUD. This also means that the AUD might counterintuitively trade mixed on geopolitical de-escalations depending on how commodities react. However, it is important to note that the AUD exhibited very ‘traditional’ risk sensitivity to equity markets last week, which suggests overall risk sentiment might be coming back into focus for the Antipodean.
CAD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: NEUTRAL
1. Monetary Policy
The BoC delivered on expectations with a 50bsp hike as well as announcing a start to passive QT from the end of April by ending its reinvestment of maturing bonds. The bank upgraded both inflation and growth estimates as markets were expecting but did play a hawkish card by also increasing their neutral rate estimate to 2.5% from 2.25%. They acknowledged the growing risks from the current geopolitical situation but made it very clear that they are concerned about inflation and their hike of 50bsp showed that they think that policy needs to be normalized quickly (which some took as a hint that another 50bsp is on the way). The bank didn’t offer any additional clarity on QT but did note that they are not considering active QT of selling bonds just yet. Some conditionality also surfaced, where they explained that any sudden negative shocks to growth or inflation could see them pause hikes once they get closer towards neutral (Gov Macklem also added that they might need to get rates slightly above neutral in the current cycle). Overall, it was a more hawkish than expected BoC decision, but interesting to note that STIR markets did not price in another 50bsp following the meeting (only a 25bsp) hike. We remain of the opinion that we are close to peak hawkishness for the BoC and are looking for the last push higher in the CAD for opportunities to sell.
2. Intermarket Analysis Considerations
Oil’s impressive post-covid recovery has been driven by many factors such as supply & demand, global demand recovery, and more recently geopolitical concerns. At current prices the risk to demand destruction and stagflation is high, which means we remain cautious of oil in the med-term. Reason for caution: Synchronised policy tightening targeting demand, slowing growth, consensus longs, steep backwardation curve, heightened implied volatility. We remain cautious oil, but geopolitics are a key driver and focus for Petro-currencies like the CAD (even though the CAD-Oil correlation has been hit and miss).
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the CAD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the CAD.
4. CFTC Analysis
Aggregate positioning was bullish yet again, but not as bullish as the prior week. We also started to see a first possibly sign that price action could have reached a bit of a top after recent BoC news have been priced in. We think markets are setting up a similar path compared to April 2021, Oct 2021 and Jan 2022 where markets were too aggressive to price in CAD upside only to see majority of it unwind later. For now, timing is very important, and we’re waiting for deeper pullbacks in AUDCAD & USDCAD for long opportunities.
5. The Week Ahead
It’s a very light econ calendar for Canada this week, which means risk sentiment and WTI will be interesting drivers to watch. The correlation between WTI and CAD has been mostly hit and miss over the past couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore Oil’s potential impact on CAD price action. Thus, the energy market will be in focus as usual where any oil-positive developments could support the CAD while any oilnegative news could pressure the CAD. As for risk sentiment, it’s interesting that the only high-beta major that held up okay last week despite risk off tones was the CAD. We’re not sure what to make of that right now, but know that if market sentiment deteriorates enough, that the CAD will not be able to stay immune to that.

It’s taken many weeks of stretched positioning, but AUD net-shorts have continued to unwind and have moved
out of stretched territory. After a decent run higher, price action has been looking stretched, which means we’ll
prefer deeper pullbacks before initiating new med-term AUD longs.
5. The Week Ahead
There are no economic data highlights for the week ahead, which means China and commodities will arguably be the main drivers. With the PBoC set to meet on Wednesday, any further promises of support will be important to watch for the AUD. Consensus is looking for the PBoC to ease the MLF and LPR, with some also looking for another RRR cut as well. Some analysts have argued that the competitive rise US yields versus Chinese counterparts might see a more patient PBoC as CN10Y fell below US10Y for the first time in 12 years last week. Any hesitation from the PBoC to step up to the plate could be a negative for the AUD. For commodities , the geopolitical tensions have seen commodity prices surge and have given Australia’s terms of trade a solid boost. As commodities have been supported by geopolitical stress and stimulus hopes from China, anything that dents that optimism and sees mean reversion in commodities will be important to watch for the AUD. This also means that the AUD might counterintuitively trade mixed on geopolitical de-escalations depending on how commodities react.

4. CFTC Analysis
Another bullish positioning signal with the recent positioning update. With Asset Manager net-longs still in the top 80 percentile we think markets are setting up a similar path compared to April 2021, Oct 2021 and Jan 2022 where markets were too aggressive to price in CAD upside only to see majority of it unwind later. For now, timing is very important, and we’re waiting for deeper pullbacks in AUDCAD & USDCAD for long opportunities.
5. The Week Ahead
For the week ahead the main data highlight for the CAD will be March CPI figures on Wednesday. Inflation will be important to watch as always (especially in the current macro backdrop), but with the BoC hiking 50bsp last week this week’s print won’t be enough to change the BoC’s mind. The event can of course create short-term volatility in the events of a big miss or beat. Despite the BoC providing some signals that another 50bsp could be on the table, STIR markets have not jumped to price it. Thus, a solid beat might see markets pricing in a 50bsp hike while a surprise miss could see markets sticking to a 25bsp but being close to peak hawkishness also means a miss could be a catalyst to get back on the short side for CAD. The correlation between WTI and CAD has been mostly hit and miss over the past couple of weeks, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore Oil’s potential impact on CAD price action. Thus, the energy market will be in focus as usual where any oil-positive developments could support the CAD while any oil-negative news could pressure the CAD.
AUDCAD formed a bearish reversal pattern.The AUDCAD pair just hit the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) after a rejection on the 0.95200 level. This resembles the February 25 2021 rejection of a similar 1-6 fractal in late 2020/ early 2021. We do expect a test of the 0.89125 low by Q3, however are prepared to take the loss and turn to buying if 0.95200 breaks, which is the invalidation line.

4. CFTC Analysis
It’s taken many weeks of stretched positioning, but AUD net-shorts have continued to unwind and have moved out of stretched territory with the recent CFTC data update. After a decent run higher, price action has been looking stretched, which means we’ll prefer deeper pullbacks before initiating new med-term AUD longs.
5. The Week Ahead
The jobs report will be the highlight for Aussie data this week. Markets are not expecting a monster print but forecasting enough employment gains to push the Unemployment Rate below 3.9% (close to record lows of 3.8%). At this stage in the game, it’s unlikely that either a miss or a beat would change anything for the rate outlook as markets already pushed back unrealistic rate expectations for a May hike to June. Given stretched pricing for the AUDCAD, a miss would suite our bias well if it can be accompanied by a hawkish BoC as that could provide us with a decent pullback to buy back at more attractive levels. Apart from the RBA focus will also be on China and commodities. Any further stimulus promises or measures from China will be important. For commodities, the geopolitical tensions have seen commodity prices surge and have given Australia’s terms of trade a solid boost. As commodities have been supported by geopolitical stress and stimulus hopes from China, anything that dents that optimism and sees mean reversion in commodities will be important to watch for the AUD. This also means that the AUD might counterintuitively trade mixed on geopolitical de-escalations depending on how commodities react.
CAD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: NEUTRAL
1. Monetary Policy
The BoC did not surprise at their March meeting by hiking rates to 0.50% from 0.25% and continuing the reinvestment phase regarding asset purchases. The bank noted that the Russia/Ukraine war was a new major uncertainty for the economy and that as a result inflation is now expected to be higher in the near-term. They were optimistic about the growth outlook though and reiterated that it expects further interest rate rises will be needed. On the QT side, Gov Macklem noted that around 40% of the bank's bond holdings were due to mature within two years, and suggested that balance sheet could shrink quickly, and also added that they will discuss ending the reinvestment phase and starting QT at the April meeting. The Governor also said he didn’t rule out the potential for 50bsp rate rises as oil is putting upside pressure on CPI , noting that oil prices around $110 per barrel could add another percentage point to inflation . With markets implying close to another 8 hikes this year, we remain cautious on the currency as a slowing US and Canadian economy means the bank could struggle to maintain its current hawkish path in the weeks and months ahead.

4. CFTC Analysis
Another very bullish positioning signal with Large Specs and Asset Managers increasing longs and Leverage Funds decreasing shorts. With Asset Manager net-longs reaching top 80 percentile levels (2007 base year) we think markets are setting up a similar path compared to April 2021, Oct 2021 and Jan 2022 where markets were too aggressive to price in CAD upside only to see majority of it unwind later. For now, timing is very important, and we’ll wait for a potential hawkish BoC to use outsized strength for AUDCAD & USDCAD long opportunities.
5. The Week Ahead
Hoping for a hawkish BoC and a 50bsp but not for buying opportunities in the CAD. Following decent economic data as well as comments from BoC’s Kozicki (who said the bank will be 'forceful' to fight ‘hot’ inflation ) markets are pricing in close to a 90% chance of a 50bsp hike for this week’s meeting. At their previous meeting, Governor Macklem explained that starting QT would be the logical next step for policy, which means a QT announcement is also on the card and in line with consensus expectations. Given our med-term neutral outlook for the CAD, we are hoping for a hawkish BoC that not only delivers on a 50bsp hike as well as a QT start, but also providing signals of another 50bsp in June. The faster the market moves to price in another 50bsp hike as well as QT, the faster we’ll get to a peak hawkishness scenario. With >9 hikes expected by the end of 2022, a market that fully prices in another 50bsp hike after a hawkish BoC will such a lot of buyers in at the highs and when markets start repricing the curve lower that will set up good shorting opportunities against the CAD.
AUD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: WEAK BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
At their March meeting, the bank didn’t do much to surprise markets and stuck to a similar script compared to the previous meeting, with the exception of adding the Russia/Ukraine war as a major new source of uncertainty. While Unemployment is at 4.2% and expected to be below 4% throughout 2023, and with Inflation above the middle of the target range and expected to rise to 3.25 this year and stay at 2.75% throughout 2023, the continues dovish façade is getting a little embarrassing for the bank. Even though wage growth failed to surprise higher, consensus still expects it to reach 3% in Q2 and well above 3% in Q3, and once the 3% level is reached the RBA would have complete ran out of reasons to stay dovish. It’s clear that markets are looking straight through this though as STIR markets, bond yields and the AUD failed to see any real downside after the meeting and continued higher after a very brief and small dip lower. For now, the bank stays dovish, but the longer they stay in denial the longer the chances of a more aggressive hawkish pivot later.
2. Idiosyncratic Drivers & Intermarket Analysis
Apart from the RBA, there are 4 drivers we’re watching for the med-term outlook: Recovery – unlike other nations where growth & inflation is expected to slow, Australia is expected to see a solid recovery, also thanks to expected recovery in China China – With the PBoC stepping up stimulus & expectations of further fiscal support in 1H22, the projected recovery in China bodes well for Australia as China makes up close to 40% of Australian exports. However, the AUKUS defence pact could see retaliation against Aussie goods and is worth keeping on the radar Commodities – Australia’s biggest commodities Iron Ore (31%), Coal (14%) and LNG (10%) keep grinding higher for various reasons, one being China’s expected recovery and the other the energy and inflation concerns. As long as these commodities are supported, they should continue to support the AUD.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the AUD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the AUD.
4. CFTC Analysis
Even though bearish AUD positioning saw big unwinds three weeks ago, large specs and leveraged funds still hold stretched shorts (within bottom 20% of net-shorts going back to 2007). This still points to the possibility of short squeezes for the AUD if we see positive sentiment shifts so worth keeping in mind going into the RBA. However, price action has been very one-sided in recent weeks so we are treading carefully with new longs.
5. The Week Ahead
In the week ahead the biggest focus for the AUD will be the RBA policy decision. Markets are expecting the bank to offer no real surprises and use the meeting as a placeholder until we get the election out of the way and until the bank has seen more inflation and wage growth data for Q2. Given the very aggressive STIR market pricing for 2022 (over 200bsp of tightening already priced), as well as the solid upside we’ve seen from the terms of trade boost, there is arguably some downside risks for the AUD if the RBA sticks to their dovish script. The markets have of course ignored their dovish tones, and even though a continued dovish tone won’t change market’s expectations of hikes this year, it could push out some of the dates as >200bsp seems close to impossible right now (same can be said for most major central bank pricing right now though). Apart from the RBA focus will also be on China and commodities. For China, the Caixin Services PMI will be interesting after the big drop in Mfg last week, where a negative print could weigh on the AUD and a positive print be supportive. Any further stimulus promises or measures from the CCP or PBoC is also worth the watch. For commodities, the geopolitical tensions and support from China has seen key Australian commodity exports like Iron Ore, LNG and Coal remain well supported, which has given Australia’s terms of trade quite a boost. As commodities have been supported by geopolitical stress and stimulus hopes from China, anything that dents that optimism and sees some mean reversion in commodity moves will be important to watch for the AUD. This also means that the AUD might counterintuitively trade mixed on geopolitical de-escalations depending on how commodities react.

2. Intermarket Analysis Considerations
Oil’s impressive post-covid recovery has been driven by factors such as supply & demand (OPEC’s production cuts), strong global demand recovery, and of course ‘higher for longer’ inflation . The geopolitical crisis saw upside in WTI that reached levels last seen since in 2008. At these levels the risk to demand destruction and stagflation is high which means we remain cautious of oil in the med-term . Reason for that view is: Synchronised policy tightening from DM central banks targeting demand, slowing growth, consensus that is very long oil , steep backwardation curve (usually sees negative forward returns), heightened implied volatility . Even though we remain cautious on oil , the geopolitical risks remains a key focus for oil and thus for Petro-currencies like the CAD and NOK (even though the CAD-Oil correlation has been hit and miss).
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the CAD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the CAD.
4. CFTC Analysis
Very bullish positioning signals with large specs and leveraged funds trimming shorts and asset managers adding a big 20K net-longs. It seems markets are warning to the idea of a 50bsp hike from the BoC after recent BoC comments. We continue to think recent price action is potentially setting up a similar path compared to April and Oct 2021 where markets were too aggressive and optimistic to price in upside for the CAD, only to then see majority of it unwind later. We’ll use any outsized strength for AUDCAD long opportunities.
5. The Week Ahead
There are two key economic releases in focus for the CAD this week with the Business Outlook Survey coming up on Monday and the Jobs report on Friday. With recent comments from the BoC turning up the hawkish rhetoric, the data this week will be eyed to get a better sense of whether the BoC will move by 25bsp or 50bsp at their next meeting. For the Business Outlook Survey markets participants are expecting a solid price due to increased commodity prices after the war broke out. Furthermore, the markets are looking for a continuation in the job gains, even though we’ve explained before that the previous print wasn’t all that it was made out to be with net-job gains not as spectacular as some made it out to be. After Friday’s solid US NFP, and after the recent BoC comments the jobs print and the Business Outlook Survey could be enough to push STIR markets over the edge and start pricing in a 50bsp. Even though that can certainly be positive for currency, we don’t have appetite to chase the CAD higher as it’s seen a lot of one-sided upsides which does make it vulnerable to correction. Our preferred longs are AUDCAD and USDCAD but waiting for a catalyst to trade looks like the best course of action right now.

Apart from the RBA, there are 4 drivers we’re watching for the med-term outlook: Recovery – unlike other nations where growth & inflation is expected to slow, Australia is expected to see a solid recovery, also thanks to expected recovery in China China – With the PBoC stepping up stimulus & expectations of further fiscal support in 1H22, the projected recovery in China bodes well for Australia as China makes up close to 40% of Australian exports. However, the AUKUS defence pact could see retaliation against Aussie goods and is worth keeping on the radar Commodities – Australia’s biggest commodities Iron Ore (31%), Coal (14%) and LNG (10%) keep grinding higher for various reasons, one being China’s expected recovery and the other the energy and inflation concerns. As long as these commodities are supported, they should continue to support the AUD.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the AUD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the AUD.
4. CFTC Analysis
Even though the bag holders of massive net-short positions on the AUD finally saw some punchy unwinds last week, the most recent data updated until Tuesday showed an increase in net-shorts again for Large Specs and Leveraged Funds. For weeks now we’ve been very surprised by the reluctance of big net-short positions to unwind. Given all the recent positive developments for the AUD we would have expected a bigger unwind already. Last week’s increase in shorts still paints current positioning as a contrarian indicator for AUD upside.
5. The Week Ahead
The week ahead will be extremely quiet on the data from for the AUD. Which means the overall focus will fall to China, commodities and risk sentiment. The announcements from the CCP two weeks ago saw immediate support for Chinese equities and also boosted Aussie commodity prices which in turn supported the AUD. Thus, any continued good news from China will be a key catalyst to watch for the antipodean. This is closely linked to commodities as well, where Australia’s key commodity exports Iron Ore, LNG and Coal have remained well supported, and any news or developments that keep them supported or cause them to drop will be very important for the AUD. Over the weekend we heard of additional lockdown measures in China, which will be another focus point for the AUD in the week ahead as any expectations that lockdowns will alter the expected recovery will be a negative. As always risk sentiment remains a focus for the AUD, where any major developments between Russia and Ukraine can have an impact, but commodities have been the dominant driver for the AUD in recent weeks so the sensitivity to pure risk flows has been less intense than usual. Our preferred way of expressing expected strength for the AUD is versus the CAD (check out recent trade ideas for information on why). It’s important to note that price action has been very one-side to the upside and is looking rather stretched so some short-term corrective price action should not be surprising without any key catalysts or drivers.
CAD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: NEUTRAL
1. Monetary Policy
The BoC did not surprise at their March meeting by hiking rates to 0.50% from 0.25% and continuing the reinvestment phase regarding asset purchases. The bank noted that the Russia/Ukraine war was a new major uncertainty for the economy and that as a result inflation is now expected to be higher in the near-term. They were optimistic about the growth outlook though and reiterated that it expects further interest rate rises will be needed. On the QT side, Gov Macklem noted that around 40% of the bank's bond holdings were due to mature within two years, and suggested that balance sheet could shrink quickly, and also added that they will discuss ending the reinvestment phase and starting QT at the April meeting. The Governor also said he didn’t rule out the potential for 50bsp rate rises as oil is putting upside pressure on oil, noting that oil prices around $110 per barrel could add another percentage point to inflation. With markets implying close to another 5 hikes this year, we remain cautious on the currency as a slowing US and Canadian economy means the bank should struggle to maintain its current hawkish path in the weeks and months ahead.
2. Intermarket Analysis Considerations
Oil’s massive post-covid recovery has been impressive, driven by various factors such as supply & demand (OPEC’s production cuts), strong global demand recovery, and of course ‘higher for longer’ than expected inflation. The geopolitical crisis the world is facing right now have opened up a big push higher in WTI, trading at levels last seen since 2008. With oil prices at these levels the risk to demand destruction and stagflation is higher than ever and means we remain cautious of oil in the med-term. Reason for that view is: Synchronised policy tightening from DM central banks targeting demand, slowing growth and inflation, a consensus that is very long oil (growing calls for $100 WTI), very steep backwardation futures curve which usually sees negative forward returns, heightened implied volatility. However, recent geopolitical risks have been a key focus point for oil and means escalation and de-escalation will be important to watch. OPEC+ will also be in focus next week but the cartel is not expected to announce any changes to their output plans.
3. Global Risk Outlook
As a high-beta currency, the CAD usually benefits from overall positive risk sentiment as well as environments that benefit pro-cyclical assets. Thus, both short-term (immediate) and med-term (underlying) risk sentiment will always be a key consideration for the CAD.
4. CFTC Analysis
Large Specs (big increase in net-shorts) and Asset Managers (big increase in net-longs) are at odds with recent positioning changes. We continue to think the recent price action and positioning data has seen the CAD take a very similar path compared to April and Oct 2021 where markets were too aggressive and optimistic to price in upside for the CAD, only to then see majority of it unwind. However, oil prices, inflation and recent hawkish BoC comments remain in focus as keys intermarket drivers, albeit the oil correlation has been hit and miss.
5. The Week Ahead
The data schedule is feather light for the CAD this week. We continue to remain cautious on the CAD and despite continued calls for a roaring economy we do not share the optimism. The recent jobs print, even though it was positive at face value, was not that impressive when incorporating the Omicron-related drop. Furthermore, even though inflation were higher than expected, it wasn’t the type of upside scare we’ve seen in other economies like the US, UK and EU. The CAD jolted higher on Friday with strong language from the BoC deputy governor who talked up more aggressive policy in the face of higher inflation. However, they also shared our concerns by noting that the levels of current debt levels will make aggressive hikes problematic due to current debt levels. If expectations for a slowdown in the US and Canadian economies are correct, it increases the probability that the BoC will need to turn dovish in coming months and means we doubt whether the bank will be able to get close to the >8 hikes priced in by STIR markets. Thus, we continue to look for upside in the AUDCAD on a med-term basis, but in the short-term we are cautious of some corrective price action after the one-sided upside we saw recently, so just keep that in mind.
AUD CAD - FUNDAMENTAL DRIVERSAUD
FUNDAMENTAL BIAS: WEAK BULLISH
1. Monetary Policy
At their March meeting, the bank didn’t do much to surprise markets and stuck to a similar script compared to the previous meeting, with the exception of adding the Russia/Ukraine war as a major new source of uncertainty. While Unemployment is at 4.2% and expected to be below 4% throughout 2023, and with Inflation above the middle of the target range and expected to rise to 3.25 this year and stay at 2.75% throughout 2023, the continues dovish façade is getting a little embarrassing for the bank. Even though wage growth failed to surprise higher, consensus still expects it to reach 3% in Q2 and well above 3% in Q3, and once the 3% level is reached the RBA would have complete ran out of reasons to stay dovish. It’s clear that markets are looking straight through this though as STIR markets, bond yields and the AUD failed to see any real downside after the meeting and continued higher after a very brief and small dip lower. For now, the bank stays dovish, but the longer they stay in denial the longer the chances of a more aggressive hawkish pivot later.

4. CFTC Analysis
The bag holders finally reacted! For weeks now we’ve been very surprised by the reluctance of big net-short positions for the AUD among market participants. Given all the recent positive developments for the AUD we would have expected a bigger unwind to take place much sooner. However, with a mammoth reduction of 30K net-short contracts for both large specs and leveraged funds it’s safe to say the unwind has begun. The more this reduces though the less our potent the upside for the AUD might be so just keep that in mind.

4. CFTC Analysis
CFTC positioning data for the AUD was interesting with large spec seeing almost no change (remember we anticipated a lot more unwind in this week’s data), while leverage funds saw a hefty increase in net-shorts and asset managers a hefty reduction in shorts. The only thin common among all three is that we are still in net-short territory, which despite frothy upside in the AUD, can still see upside, but price action is stretched right now.
5. The Week Ahead
Right now, we think the Australian economy is well-placed compared to its peers as its economy is expected to recover alongside that of China (after going through a slowdown in 2021) just as other major economies are expected to slow. Even though markets have been pricing in a steep rate path for the RBA, we still think the large net-short positioning means lots of catch-up potential for the AUD. Even though recent wage data printed below target, market consensus still looks for 3% in Q2 and 3.5% by Q3, which means as long as inflation stays high (no expectation for that to slow as yet) and the labour market remains tight, the RBA should be next in line to tilt more hawkish, with a hike in rates very likely by the middle of the year. That means this week’s upcoming labour data will be important, where a good print will further solidify ideas of a policy pivot. The other intraweek focus is of course geopolitics, where the AUD has been well isolated from equity sell offs as key commodities like Iron Ore, Coal and LNG keep rising. However, with the amount of upside we’ve seen in a very short space of time we do need to be mindful of some possible mean reversion at some stage in the short-term. Counter-intuitively, if de-escalation news between Russia & Ukraine sees downside for commodity prices that would be expected to create a risk-on environment, which would usually be positive for the AUD, but it could end up weighing on the AUD if commodities drop, so we need view AUD through a commodity lens not just a risk sentiment lens. The other point to watch in the week ahead is the covid situation in China, which over the weekend saw China placing 17.5 million residents in Shenzhen under lockdown. At the same time there is also further speculation about more stimulus from the PBoC which could counter some of the negatives, but a risk worth keeping in mind.

5. The Week Ahead
Markets might once more be getting too bullish on the CAD at the wrong time. The CAD, which has not really been benefiting from the big rise in energy prices, saw quite a jolt higher on Friday after the recent jobs report. At face value it was a good print, but under the hood it there was some negatives. Firstly, even though the headline printed above max expectations, the bulk of the gains were part-time jobs. Furthermore, if we account for last month’s contraction, full-time employment only grew by 40K. This week the calendar has CPI data, where another surprise upside print is expected by some to see an even more hawkish BoC . However, with over 6 hikes once again embedded and priced in STIR markets, and with WTI prices started to show some signs of a slowdown in bullish momentum, the odds are arguably tilted towards a more dovish as opposed to more hawkish BoC in the months ahead. However, the short-term could see further strength in the case of a beat, but we will use any additional upside in the CAD to look for selling opportunities.
