  • The USD/CAD pair continued to inch higher on Monday as the loonie was pressured by lower oil prices and weaker-than-expected Chinese trade data reinvigorated a recent selloff in metals.
     
  • Copper prices slid to a four-month low after data showed a sharp drop in imports into China, the world's biggest consumer, feeding pessimism about demand following hefty inflows into London Metal Exchange inventories last week.
     
  • Short dip around 1.3650 should be viewed as buying opportunities, as the Canadian dollar is weaker against the US dollar in intraday trading.
     
  • The immediate support can be seen at 1.3637, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3600.
     
  • Major resistance can be seen at 1.3792, break above this level will expose it towards 1.3868 levels.
