Analysis and Recommendations: The USD/CAD dipped 25 points to trade at 1.2719 after the pair became overvalued. The Canadian dollar was seen higher
The USD/CAD dipped 25 points to trade at 1.2719 after the pair became overvalued. The Canadian dollar was seen higher against the US dollar this session as recovery in oil prices pair with upbeat China CPI data continue to boost the sentiment around the loonie.
However, strengthening US dollar against its major rivals amid talks of new Greece proposal to be submitted later tonight, keeps a check on USD/CAD. Markets now shift attention towards a set of housing data from Canada, while US weekly jobless claims due later in the US session will also be closely eyed.
The greenback was higher against a other major currencies on Thursday, as markets eyed fresh reform proposals from Greece after the country requested a new three-year bailout on Wednesday.
The greenback broadly weakened after the minutes of the Federal Reserve’s June policy meeting released on Wednesday showed that policy makers need to see more signs of a strengthening U.S. economy before raising interest rates.
