- The USD/CAD pair rose on Wednesday as fall in oil prices and stronger greenback across the board weighted on the commodity-linked Canadian dollar.
- Oil slid more than 1 percent on Wednesday after U.S. data showed a counter-seasonal build in gasoline inventories and a smaller-than-expected decline in overall crude stocks coupled with another rise in domestic crude production.
- U.S. crude stocks fell 1 million barrels in the latest week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a bit less than anticipated. Gasoline stocks posted a counter-seasonal build of 1.5 million barrels, despite heavier refining activity.
- The ongoing upside in this pair is likely to continue, as the Canadian dollar is set to weaken further against its US counterpart.
