We rarely trade CAD Employment Change. More often than not, it’s released the same time as USD Non-Farm Payrolls and our preference is to trade NFP. NFP also influences the CAD with all of the USD trades crossed with it.

This month is the exception, however CAD GDP MoM is realised at the same time. CAD GDP MoM is usually a really good figure to trade and because there’s limited data available for CAD Employment Change when it isn’t being influenced by NFP, it’s difficult a judge how it will react.

For these reasons we’re going to focus on CAD GDP MoM and pass on this figure. We recommend you do the same.
