FxWirePro: USD/CAD consolidating around 1.3085, bias is bullish
Monday, February 6, 2017 2:47 PM UTC
- The USD/CAD pair rose on Monday as oil dipped and the dollar was broadly steadier after a poor set of wages data on Friday.
- The price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, edged down below $57 barrel on Monday as a stronger dollar and ample U.S. supplies outweighed OPEC output curbs and rising tensions between the United States and Iran.
- Short dip around 1.3000 should be viewed as buying opportunities, as the Canadian dollar is weaker against the US dollar in intraday trading.
- Immediate support can be seen at 1.3030, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2963.
- Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3096, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3127 levels.
