Canadian Dollar Holds Near Two-Month High as Oil Prices Support
The Canadian dollar is consolidating near a two-month peak against the US dollar, supported by firm crude oil prices, with USD/CAD trading below the mid-1.3900s.
USD/CAD has been consolidating its recent decline that dragged the pair to a two-month low last week. During Asian trading, the pair remained pinned below the mid-1.3900s, reflecting ongoing strength in the Canadian currency.
Bullish oil prices continue to underpin the loonie, as crude remains a key export for Canada. The price action suggests near-term support for CAD, though traders are watching for any shift in energy markets or broader risk appetite.
The pair’s failure to stage a meaningful bounce keeps the focus on further downside potential, with a break below the recent lows likely to extend the Canadian dollar’s gains.
