Seasonally CAD/JPY does well [Video]
The Canadian dollar has been benefitting from the surge higher in commodities, especially oil. Lack of investment in oil longer-term, shrewd management during lockdowns of oil production levels from OPEC+, and supply shocks from Russia’s move into Ukraine have all kept oil prices buoyant. This has been despite the demand levels that are expected to fall for oil if global growth slows. The BoC is expected to hike interest rates up to a neutral rate of 2.25%-2.5%. However, a lot of bullishness has already been priced in for the CAD as these expectations have been around for some time and the COT report saw another net-short weekly change across the three participant categories.
The BoJ still has very low-interest rates although concerns are growing that the BoJ may have to even hike rates if inflation comes to Japanese shores.
So, the picture is mixed fundamentally. However, the CADJPY seasonals are notable, and should the fundamental picture rapidly change then look out for them.
Over the last 22 years, the CADJPY has gained a total of 14 times between May 25 and June 09. The largest gain was in 2009 with a +4.52% profit.
