THE US$ vs. THE CANADIAN: A  Bear Market In Full:  Clearly Canadian businessmen and  women would prefer a weaker C$ vs. the US$, but just as clearly they  are not getting their wish as capital flows to Canada to buy the  raw materials… and manufactured goods… that Canada has in  abundance and which the world needs in perpetuity. New lows for  the US$ are but a matter of time.

We see no reason to believe that this trend is anywhere near ending, and we shall view a break of the recent and important lows for the US$ at 1.0650 to be taken out and thrashed.  Canada has crude oil to sell; it has grain to sell; it is base and precious metals to sell; it has water and natural gas and uranium and cobalt to sell… and it has a port facilities to effect those sales along with a stabile government that is quietly trending centre-right even as the US government is lurching centre-left. Why would one not be long of the C$ in those circumstances?
