FxWirePro: USD/CAD consolidating around 1.2614, bias is bullish

  • The USD/CAD pair rose on Wednesday after oil dipped as U.S. refinery shutdowns weighed on oil prices and the greenback climbed against a basket of major currencies.
     
  • The U.S. dollar was broadly higher after U.S. data indicated solid economic momentum, keeping the prospect of a December interest rate increase alive.
     
  • Prices of oil, one of Canada's major exports, slid as flooding and damage from Tropical Storm Harvey shut over a fifth of U.S. refineries, curbing demand for crude.
     
  • Currently, the currency pair is trading at 1.2618 levels, it is set to decline further towards 1.2670 and later 1.2700 levels in the short term.
     
  • Immediate support can be seen at 1.2559, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2503.
     
  • Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2618, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.2668 levels.
