FxWirePro: USD/CAD consolidating around 1.3738, bias is bullish
Tuesday, May 9, 2017 1:52 PM UTC
- The USD/CAD pair rose on Tuesday as oil dipped and the dollar was broadly steadier against a basket of major currencies.
- U.S. crude prices were down 0.37 percent at $46.26 a barrel, pressured by a rise in U.S. crude output that has shaken investors' faith in the ability of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to rebalance the market.
- Short dip around 1.3670 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 1.3663, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2600.
- Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.3741, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.3819 levels.
