USD/CAD Finds Bids Above 1.2900
The greenback is now trading on a firmer note vs. its Canadian peer on Tuesday, taking USD/CAD back above the 1.2900 barrier.
USD/CAD attention to oil, Fedspeak
Yesterday’s
recovery of crude oil prices has lent extra support to CAD, dragging
the pair to test the area below the 1.2900 key support against the
backdrop of a generalized selling mood around the greenback.
Apart
from crude oil dynamics, today’s speeches by Fed’s Lacker, Williams and
Harker will set the tone for USD, along with Export/Import Prices and
the API’s weekly report on US crude stockpiles.
USD/CAD significant levels
As
of writing the pair is advancing 0.13 % at 1.2913 and a breakout of
1.3067 (20-day sma) would aim for 1.3290 (23.6% Fibo of 1.4692-1.2858)
and then 1.3393 (200-day sma). On the flip side, the immediate support
aligns at 1.2858 (2016 low Mar.31) followed by 1.2827 (monthly low
Oct.15 2015) and finally 1.2124 (monthly low Jun.16).
