USD/CAD falls for third day as softer dollar and higher oil support loonie
USD/CAD extended its decline for a third consecutive session, trading near 1.3870 in Asian hours on Monday as a weaker US dollar and rising oil prices supported the Canadian dollar.
USDCAD
USD/CAD traded near 1.3870 during Monday’s Asian session, marking a third consecutive daily decline. The Canadian dollar strengthened as the US dollar lost ground against major peers.
Sentiment on the greenback was pressured by softer-than-expected US economic data and shifting central bank expectations. At the same time, higher oil prices provided additional support to the commodity-linked loonie.
That combination kept the pair on the defensive, extending the recent move lower in early week trade.
