FxWirePro: USD/CAD dips below lower range, bearish bias increases

  • The USD/CAD pair declined sharply on Friday after stronger-than-expected Canadian jobs data boosted chances of an interest rate increase by the Bank of Canada as soon as next week.
     
  • Canada's economy added 45,300 jobs last month, topping the 10,000 gain forecast by economists. The unemployment rate dipped to 6.5 percent, even as more people were looking for work.
     
  • Gains for the loonie came even as prices of oil, one of Canada's major exports, fell. Oil prices fell more than 2 percent on Friday after data showed U.S. production rose last week just as OPEC exports hit a 2017 high, casting doubt over efforts by producers to curb oversupply.
     
  • The currency pair is trading around 1.2895 levels ,it is set to decline towards 1.2860 and 1.2800 in the short term.
     
  • To the upside, the strong resistance can be seen at 1.2951, a break above will take the pair towards next resistance level at 1.2995.
     
  • To the downside immediate support can be seen at 1.2859 levels, a break below will open the door towards next level at 1.2800.
