- The USD/CAD pair rose on Monday as Canadian dollar came under pressure from falling oil prices and dollar recovered after France's presidential election first-round win for the market's preferred candidate.
- Centrist Emmanuel Macron took a big step towards the French presidency on Sunday by winning the first round of voting and qualifying for a May 7 runoff alongside far-right leader Marine Le Pen.
- Oil prices continued to decline after last week's selloff, weighed by signs U.S. production and inventory growth were offsetting OPEC's attempts to reduce a persisting global glut.
- Short dip around 1.3450 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 1.3446, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3400.
- Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3522, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3592 levels.
