The rate has been unable to break 1.86, indeed recently there was the threat of a deeper pullback towards the 1.80 level.
However, April has seen a steady rise in the rate and we are now currently seeing some of the best levels for a while. Wednesday's policy outcome at the Bank of Canada has been particularly bearish for the CAD.
However, be warned, it will take a fundamental shift in global investor appetite to draw the GBP-CAD north of the 1.86 level and at Pound Sterling Live we are sceptical that this could occur anytime soon.
