Key Quotes
“The present level of short positioning in futures would typically temper the downside, but we think this is less of a factor as other indicators like the risk reversal are pointing in the opposite direction.

“We recommend selling AUD/CAD at 0.9439, with a target of 0.91. We will reassess at 0.9650.”
