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

  • The USD/CAD pair declined on Monday as greenback extending losses after a central bank meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming as markets worried about the impact of Tropical Storm Harvey on the U.S. economy.
     
  • The U.S. dollar, which slumped on Friday after U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen failed to mention monetary policy at a meeting of central bankers in Wyoming, extended its losses to 16-month lows against a basket of major currencies.
     
  • The greenback's weakness this year, along with a string of robust domestic economic data, has helped propel the Canadian dollar up 7.5 percent so far this year.
     
  • The ongoing weakness is set to continue for this pair as the resistance level at 1.2509 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 1.2446, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.2420.
     
  • Major resistance can be seen at 1.2477, break above this level will expose the pair towards 1.2509 levels.
