Tuesday, March 28, 2017 2:09 PM UTC
- The USD/CAD pair declined on Tuesday as the Canadian dollar gained strength as oil rose and the greenback lost some ground amid political and economic uncertainty in the United States.
- Investors assessed President Donald Trump's first major policy stumble, while awaiting comments from several Federal Reserve policymakers including Fed Chair Janet Yellen.
- Oil prices rose on Tuesday as supply disruption in Libya and the latest comments from officials suggesting OPEC could extend its deal cutting global production.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.3453 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
- The immediate support can be seen at 1.3361, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3000.
- Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3407, break above this level will expose it towards 1.3453 levels.
