USD/CAD consolidates near daily lows
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/CAD entered a consolidation phase near daily lows after a better-than-expected Canadian GDP gave the Loonie a boost and sent the pair to a 5-day low at the beginning of the American session.
USD/CAD bottomed out at 1.2432 following data that showed annualized Canadian gross domestic product grew by 2.4% in Q4 versus 2.0% expected. Strong GDP figures support the view the Bank of Canada will keep its target rate steady at 0.75% when it announces monetary policy on Wednesday.
USD/CAD found support at the 1.2430 area and has spent the last hours in a slim range. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.2460, still 0.59% below its opening price.
