USD/CAD falls to 1.3310 on EIA report and rebounds

USD/CAD dropped quickly to 1.3313, hitting a fresh daily low but then it bounced to the upside, easing most of the losses.

The price of crude oil jumped boosting the Loonie.
From 1.3310/15 the pair rebounded and it was trading at 1.3350/58, marginally higher for the day, but still below the level it had before the EIA report. Earlier it peaked at 1.3380. Price continues to consolidate around the 1.3340/70 area, confirming last week gains.
