USD/CAD eyes on oil, US data

The pair is so far succeeding in keeping the trade above the 1.2500 mark at the end of the week, with the Canadian dollar shedding some of the recent gains in spite of the rebound in crude oil prices to the $52.00 neighbourhood.

Ahead in the day, December Manufacturing Shipments are due in Canada (1.0% MoM exp.), while the Reuters/Michigan Sentiment index and Export/Import Prices are due in the US economy.

USD/CAD levels to consider

At the moment the pair is gaining 0.22% at 1.2517 with the next resistance at 1.2646 (high Feb.12) ahead of 1.2700 (psychological level) and finally 1.2772 (high Feb.2). On the other hand, a breach of 1.2451 (low Feb.10) would open the door to 1.2439 (low Feb.12) and then 1.2428 (low Feb.9).
