- The USD/CAD pair rose in on Friday as Canadian dollar was pressured after weaker-than-expected domestic inflation data reduced the chances of an interest rate hike next month from the Bank of Canada.
- The annual inflation rate cooled to 1.3 percent in May, below forecasts for 1.5 percent, pushing it further away from the Bank of Canada's 2 percent target as the cost of food fell and gasoline prices moderated, data from Statistics Canada showed.
- The pair hit high daily at 1.3306 before retreating slightly to trade around 1.3277 levels in the early US session.
- Further downside is expected to be limited as the pair finds strong support at 1.3165 should limit further decline and bring rebound towards higher levels in the short term.
- To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.3354, a break above will take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.3400.
- To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.3207 levels, a break below will open the door towards next level at 1.3165.
