  • The USD/CAD pair declined on Tuesday as the Canadian dollar strengthened as oil rallied and greenback selloff deepened.
     
  • Falling U.S. dollar and Saudi Arabia's pledge to adhere to OPEC's commitment to cut output supported crude prices.
     
  • However, gains were capped by rising U.S. production and scepticism that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries as a whole would comply with its commitment to reduce supplies.
     
  • The pair hit low at 1.3018 levels in the early US session, but recovered slightly towards 1.3068 as oil prices pared gains.
     
  • The pair remains weak, as the Canadian dollar is set to gain further against dollar in the short term.
     
  • The immediate support can be seen at 1.3060, break below this level will expose the pair to next support level at 1.3000.
     
  • Major resistance can be seen at 1.3200, break above this level will expose it towards 1.3290 levels.
