USD/CAD extends the bounce to 1.3200
|USD/CAD is back around the 1.3200 handle after briefly visiting overnight lows in the 1.3160 region.
USD/CAD attention to FOMC, EIA
Spot has tested 4-month highs in the 1.3240/45 band on Tuesday, although the move seems to have run out of steam since then.
CAD remains on the defensive nonetheless, as the barrel of West Texas Intermediate has broken below the key $43.00 mark ahead of the weekly EIA report on crude inventories.
In addition, USD will take centre stage later in the European evening in light of the FOMC gathering, with consensus leaning towards a somewhat hawkish tone from the Committee. Recall that there will be no press conference by Chair J.Yellen or updated forecasts.
