The Canadian loon mates for life but the currency market has been slow to fall in love with loonie. Longs rose 11K last week and that was before the BOC. After the decision, buyers dipped another toe in but there's plenty of room to run here. CAD longs are still below the February highs and miles away from the 2019 net long of +54K.
