spec, not sure why you ask me whether im bullish CAD when all i have done in the past few weeks was to issue buy calls on USDCAD. Now that the pair has gone up 400 pips from that 1.0690 support of last Wednesday, id say it's best to fade the pullbacks and get back in for 1.1120 and ultimately 1.13 before re-evaluating.

Asad, 67 oil is convergence of the 55 and 21 day moving averages, which will likely be seen as early as Wednesday Asia.
