AUDCAD has been steadily rising from 0.99s to now at 1.0365ish, at the same time yield differential has narrowed and aussie rates wont be going up anytime soon.. In poor economy and risk selloff, Aussie lags CAD. In good economy BOC will raise rates before any changes by RBA.. A no brainer short if you can handle the short term volatility!
Going short in AUDCAD at 1.037 for 1.0150s target.

Aussie was propped by a positive combination of upside data surprise and an overall return to risk-on trades following Fed Vice Chair Yellens comments hinting at further Fed stimulus and Bernankes testimony to signal the same. Aussie May employment rose by 39K, more than twice market consensus and more than five times the April figure. Although the unemployment rate edged back up to 5.1%, the currency was also gaining from the prior days release of higher than expected Q1 GDP. For now, traders are reluctant to drag down commodity currencies ahead of possibly looming announcement to recapitalize Spanish banks and expectations that central banks will intervene via fresh asset purchases. AUDUSD is likely to regain parity but is seen capped at 1.0180s.

Todays China rate cut may also further temper any long-term optimism favouring the Aussie.
