FxWirePro: USD/CAD gains some upside momentum but still bearish

  • The USD/CAD pair inched higher on Tuesday as Canadian dollar was pressured by fall in oil prices and the country's current account deficit widened.
     
  • Prices of oil, one of Canada's major exports, were pressured by concerns that production cuts by the world's big exporters may not be enough to drain a global glut that has depressed the market for almost three years.
     
  • Canada's current account deficit widened more than expected in the first quarter of the year on an increase in imports of both good and services, data from Statistics Canada showed. The C$14.05 billion gap exceeded economists' expectations for a deficit of C$12 billion.
     
  • However, further upside for this pair is expected to be limited as resistance at 1.3571 is set to limit upside and bring decline towards lower levels.
     
  • The immediate support can be seen at 1.3436, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3386.
     
  • Major resistance can be seen at 1.3571, break above this level will expose it towards 1.3600 levels.
