Date: Friday 26th January 2018 Time: 13:30 UTC CAD CPI MoM has been within a deviation of +/-0.1 for the last six months. We are setting the triggers outside of this range. We also don’t want to see a conflict with CAD CPI YoY. It’s also important to note that it is released at the...

Date: Thursday 25th January 2018 Time: 13:30 UTC CAD Core Retails Sales MoM is released at 13:30 UTC. In our experience, this figure moves the market, but the outcome is very much dependent on the fill from your broker. This figure is realised the same time as the start of the ECB press conference and...

Date: Friday 5th January 2018 Time: 13:30 UTC CAD Employment Change is released at the same time as USD Nonfarm Payrolls.

Date: Friday 1st December 2017 Time: 13:30 UTC We rarely trade CAD Employment Change. More often than not, it’s released the same time as USD Non-Farm Payrolls and our preference is to trade NFP. NFP also influences the CAD with all of the USD trades crossed with it. This month is the exception, however CAD […]

Date: Friday 1st December 2017 Time: 13:30 UTC CAD GDP MoM is usually a really good figure to trade. Unfortunately this month it’s realised the same time as CAD Employment Change which will definitely add an element of unpredictability to the figure. There’s no data for when these figures have been realised at the same...

Date: Thursday 23nd November 2017 Time: 13:30 UTC Today we see Canadian Core Retail Sales. Volumes will be lighter across the board with it being Thanksgiving, therefore we recommend not being aggressive on this figure.
