USD/CAD: a break of 1.31 on the cards
|USD/CAD has rallied, but fallen shy of the 1.31 handle thus far with highs of 1.3090.
The greenback has been on the warpath in the US session with the DXY breaking onto the 96 handle while the Loonie has been taken lower with a drop in the oil price, dispite the Iraq news with officials supporting an oil outpitfreeze, adding further bids to the chain in USD/CAD. "Trend strength oscillators are aligned positively, which should support a modest rise in the USD at least near term," explained analysts at Scotiabank.
