USD/CAD off-lows, but stays below 1.3200
Currently, the USD/CAD pair trades -0.27% lower at 1.3188, recovery from a sharp dip to 1.3168 lows. USD/CAD experienced steep losses this session as the CAD bulls regained control following BOC Governor Poloz’ speech, as he failed to comment on the future path of the monetary policy.
Over the last hour, the major is seen recovering some ground amid improved risk sentiment as markets priced-in Clinton’s win after the first US presidential election debate got over. While the Loonie remains largely unperturbed by the oil dynamics, as investors await the final outcome of the Algerian oil meeting for next direction.
On Monday, USD/CAD jumped to the highest levels in six months as markets sold-off the CAD in anticipation of any rate cut hint by BOC Poloz, in light of poor Canadian CPI and retail sales data.
