USD/CAD holding on the downside of 1.3500 as crude bolsters CAD
|- The CAD sees a much-needed break on flubbed US manufacturing data.
- Dollar weakness could easily evaporate as a temporary play, USD/CAD firmly one-sided.
USD/CAD is ticking into 1.3480 after the US Dollar took a hit on Thursday from disappointing US ISM Manufacturing data, sending the Greenback lower against the Canadian Loonie and dropping from near-term highs near 1.3650.
Crude oil prices have caught some lift this week, helping to further support the CAD which has floundered against the USD, losing ground against the US Dollar for three months straight. Despite Thursday's 180-pip jettison, USD/CAD remains in a firmly bullish position, riding far above the 50-day moving average near 1.3350, a key confluence level with the 38.2% Fibo retracement level of the last quarter's one-sided chart action.
