USD/CAD flat near 1.1130
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The USD/CAD upside is taking a breather on Thursday, now meandering around a narrow 1.1120-1.1140 range.
USD/CAD attention on the US docket
In light of the weather-induced poor results in the US economy, the recent upside in spot would be put to the test after today’s releases: Durable Goods Orders and Initial Claims followed by the speech by Chairwoman J.Yellen. Further data will show Canadian Current Account in Q4 as well. “We think the narrow overnight range may be setting the market up for a more dynamic move intraday. Gains through 1.1140/45 should set the USD advance to retest the low 1.12 area. Intraday, expect support at 1.1110/20”, noted Shaun Osborne, Chief FX Strategist at TD Securities.
USD/CAD significant levels
As of writing the pair is flat at 1.1128 with the next resistance at 1.1145 (high Feb.26) ahead of 1.1196 (high Jan.21) and then 1.1225 (2014 high Jan.31). On the downside, a breac of 1.1074 (low Feb.26) would aim for 1.1058 (10-d MA) and finally 1.1050 (low Feb.24).
