FxWirePro: USD/CAD neutral in the near-term, scope for downward resumption

  • The USD/CAD pair declined on Friday as oil prices rose, while softer-than-expected U.S. data weighed on the greenback.
     
  • Oil prices edged higher on Friday and were on track for solid weekly gains following positive demand signals, production issues in Nigeria and a reported decline in stocks.
     
  • The dollar extended its earlier decline against a basket of currencies on Friday as weaker-than-forecast data on consumer prices and retail sales in June raised doubts about U.S. economic growth and whether the Federal Reserve may raise rates again in 2017.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.2808 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 1.2689, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2616.
     
  • Immediate resistance can be seen at 1.2748, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.2808 levels.
