The USD/CAD pair consolidates above 1.4200 during Friday's Asian session, with traders awaiting the US monthly employment report for direction.
USDCAD
The Canadian dollar remains under pressure, hovering near its year-to-date low against the US dollar. USD/CAD is consolidating above the 1.4200 mark in Asian trading on Friday as market participants hold off on major positioning ahead of the release of the US non-farm payrolls report.
A strong NFP reading could reinforce the dollar's recent bullish momentum, potentially pushing the pair higher. Conversely, a weaker print might trigger a pullback. For now, the pair is in a wait-and-see mode, with the Canadian dollar unable to find traction amid broad USD strength.
