USD/CAD focused on BoC event
The pair keeps the upside momentum unchanged so far this week, reverting Tuesday’s retracement and trading in the upper end of the range near 1.2870, or fresh 3-week tops.
Increasing yields in the US money markets continue to sustain the buying pressure around the buck, which managed to brace 3-month highs above the 91.00 handle when tracked by the US Dollar Index.
Furthermore, the current sideline theme around crude oil prices have been also collaborating with the weaker tone surrounding CAD.
Later in the day, CAD should be in centre stage, as Governor S.Poloz and Deputy Governor C.Wilkins will testify before the Senate Standing Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce.

As of writing the index is gaining 0.19% at 1.2858 and a breakout of 1.2868 (high Apr.25) would aim for 1.2927 (38.2% Fibo of the 2017 drop) and finally 1.2946 (high Apr.2). On the other hand, initial contention emerges at 1.2738 (21-day sma) followed by 1.2625 (200-day sma) and then 1.2525 (low Apr.17).
