But the pair hits low of 1.2605 and shown a minor rebound after weaker than expected Canada retail sales data.

The weak economic data will reduce the chance of rate hike by BOC in the near term. Trade war fears and delay of NAFTA are the main issues dragging Canadian dollar. It is currently trading around 1.3295.
