FxWirePro: USD/CAD consolidating around 1.3098, bias is bullish
Friday, February 17, 2017 3:22 PM UTC
- The USD/CAD pair rose on Friday as oil dipped and the dollar recovered some ground as disquiet about the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump cooled.
- Prices of oil, one of Canada's major exports, were pressured by growing global stocks. U.S. crude prices were down 0.49 percent at $53.10 a barrel.
- 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 1.2964, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2900.
- Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3098, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3158 levels.
