The improving sentiment that is taking down the USD/CAD has pushed the WTI crude oil above $96.00, up by +0.67%. Against the US Dollar is Fitch’s Riley warning that the AAA rating is at risk of downgrade in H1 2012 due to the “fiscal cliff”.
The USD/CAD is now back below 0.9900 and even below Monday’s low, of 0.9890, as the cross trades at 0.9887. UBS analysts are bearish on the exchange rate: “A move below 0.9886 would resume weakness to 0.9843”, wrote analyst Chris Walker, pointing to resistance at 0.9964.
