Canadian Dollar Futures: Inflation Breakout TestCanadian Dollar FuturesCME_DL:6C1!satelysfxToday's 6C setup is about whether Canadian inflation can force a clean CAD break rather than another hold of the USD/CAD base. The spot reference is simple: 1.40 is the line the market has been defending. Where the edge is The edge is event timing, not a medium-term macro call. Last week's BoC message keeps inflation and oil pass-through central to CAD pricing, while oil support keeps CAD demand alive if the post-release break holds. Evidence Canada's inflation figures are due today at 1:30pm London. The BoC held at 2.25% on July 15 and said inflation should ease gradually, but warned it would not let higher oil prices become persistent inflation. That makes this a real CAD catalyst. Trade idea For 6C, stay conditional into the release and favour CAD only if the post-CPI move confirms acceptance beyond the decision area. If USD/CAD preserves its base after the data, the 6C continuation idea loses its edge. -------------------- When charting futures, the data provided could be delayed.
