Significant Resistance - 1.2760
USDCAD gained sharply despite upbeat Canadian retail sales. It rose by 0.1% in Mar compared to an estimated -0.40%. Core Retail sales grew by 2.1% MoM vs 0.4%. Hawkish comments from the fed Chairman and surging inflation support the US dollar at lower levels. The policy divergence between the US fed and the Bank of Canada is putting pressure on Loonie at higher levels. USDCAD hits an intraday high of 1.27500 and currently trading around 1.27261.
