USD/CAD lower on oil ahead of US data
The barrel of West Texas Intermediate is testing fresh daily highs in the $33.20 area, lending extra support to the Canadian dollar and collaborating with the pair’s correction lower from earlier peaks near 1.3600 the figure.
In the data space, Canadian Current Account deficit has come at $15.38 billion during Q4, lower than expected. On the US side, Pending Home Sales and the Chicago PMI are due next.
