CAD DROPS ACROSS THE BOARD on combination of a dovish rate hike from the Bank of Canadas and broadening risk aversion. The BoC did raise rates to 0.75% as was expected but cut its 2010 GDP growth forecast to 3.5% from 3.7%, while indicating Canadian housing activity declining markedly. USDCAD upside eyes subsequent resistance at 1.0620. EURUSD failed to regain $1.30, extending losses below $1.29. The revenues miss by Goldman Sachs and further declines in US housing starts (lowest since Oct 2009) have weighed negatively on risk appetite. EURUSD is seen supported at $1.22770 trend line support, ahead of Fridays stress test.. AUDUSD seen retesting 0.8680. YEN CROSSES EXTEND LOSSES.
