- The USD/CAD pair declined on Wednesday as oil prices continued its upward march, while domestic data showed a larger-than-expected increase in manufacturing sales.
- Canadian factory sales grew by 1.1 percent in May from April, hitting a record level on higher sales of motor vehicles and parts, data from Statistics Canada showed. Analysts had forecast an increase of 0.8 percent.
- Prices of oil, one of Canada's major exports, were supported by strong demand for gasoline, but rising output from OPEC producers revived concerns about a persistent overhang of excess crude.
- The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.2651 is likely to act as strong barrier to the bulls and bring a further decline towards lower levels.
- The immediate support can be seen at 1.2564, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2513.
- Major resistance can be seen at 1.2651, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.2700 levels.
