FxWirePro: USD/CAD consolidating around 1.3428, bias is bullish

  • The USD/CAD pair rose on Tuesday as dollar was broadly steadier as the market priced in the high likelihood of a U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hike next week.
     
  • The Federal Reserve has left no stone unturned in preparing the markets for tighter monetary policy, with an unusual number of key officials including Fed Chair Janet Yellen hinting at a rate hike in the central bank's March 14-15 meeting.
     
  • Oil prices firmed on Tuesday but stayed in a tight range, with investors seeking a clearer direction from inventory data and comments from oil officials as rising U.S. shale output offset OPEC production cuts.
     
  • Short dip around 1.3380 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 1.3408, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3376.
     
  • Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3437, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3475 levels.
