CAD weakens
The
loonie turned lower across the board after crude oil prices tumbles
following inventory data. The WTI barrel dropped from levels above
$45.00 to $43.90 after EIA showed an increase in inventories.
USD/CAD,
that earlier hit a 9-month low at 1.2570, rose from 1.2575 to levels
above 1.2650 in a few minutes. Recently it peaked at 1.2657, hitting a
fresh daily high. The rally broke a short-term downtrend line giving
extra momentum to the US dollar but the pair still trades below
Tuesday’s highs. Also market is awaiting the FOMC decision that could
have a large impact on the US dollar.
Support at 1.26?
Fort
he third time out of the last five days, USD/CAD rebounded sharply from
levels under 1.2600. The area has become a relevant support that could
favor a rebound. If it remains above, the probability of a correction
rally would rise.
