The Canadian dollar is now recovering some pips after USD/CAD briefly tested session highs in the proximity of 1.2900 the figure.
USD/CAD higher on Oil data
The
selling interest around CAD is gathering further steam in response to a
drop of more than 2% in the barrel of West Texas Intermediate, which is
currently hovering over the $40.50 area.
In addition, Canadian
Manufacturing Sales have contracted more than expected during February,
down 3.3% and reverting January’s 2.3% advance. Back to the US, both
Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization have missed consensus,
adding to the USD-selling.
USD/CAD significant levels
As
of writing the pair is advancing 0.27% at 1.2879 with the next hurdle
at 1.3036 (20-day sma) followed by 1.3208 (23.6% Fibo of 1.4692-1.2750)
and then 1.3219 (high Apr.5). On the other hand, a breakdown of 1.2744
(2016 low Apr.13) would expose 1.2652 (low Jul.10 2015) and finally
1.2124 (monthly low Jun.24 2015).
