FxWirePro: USD/CAD strongly bearish despite upside attempts

  • The USD/CAD pair declined on Friday as higher oil prices and stronger-than-expected Canadian jobs report strengthened the Canadian dollar against its U.S. counterpart.
     
  • Canadian employers added a greater-than-expected 19,400 jobs in March and the unemployment rate edged up to 6.7 percent as more people sought work, Statistics Canada said on Friday in a report that suggested Canada's economy has finally turned the corner.
     
  • Oil traded near a one-month high on Friday after the United States fired missiles at a Syrian government airbase, sending shockwaves through global markets and raising concerns that the conflict could spread in the oil-rich region.
     
  • The currency pair is trading around 1.3371 levels and it is set to decline further towards 1.3340 and 1.3300 in the short term.
