USD/CAD easing back after taking run at 1.3500
|- Collapsing crude oil prices leading the CAD straight down the charts.
- Traders will be tensing ahead of Wednesday's FOMC rate call and statement.
Although the US Dollar continues to see broad-market weakness, the CAD is getting dragged by the nose down the charts by free-falling crude oil prices, and USD/CAD clipping into the 1.3500 major handle late on Tuesday. The pair is now trading back into 1.3450, but lack of buying interest in crude oil markets is seeing the Loonie slip even further against the greenback.
Wednesday sees the FOMC delivering their latest rate call and monetary policy statement, and the major event will see markets coiling ahead of what is expected to be one last rate hike for 2018, while markets will be looking out for changes to the FOMC's rhetoric, with investors afraid that the US Fed will be knocked off their current three-hike dot-plot on slumping global growth figures.
