- Fresh US dollar selling amid risk reset drive the prices lower.
- But, negative oil prices keeps the Loonie on the back foot ahead of US core PCE and Fedspeak.
The bid tone around the US dollar weakened last hour, sending the USD/CAD back below the 1.31 handle. The sellers continue to lurk above the last, keeping a check on the upside.
The spot stalled its steady recovery-mode near 1.3115 region again, as the CAD bull stood resilient to losses in oil prices and a major turnaround in the risk sentiment. The European equities picked up fresh bids and are seen staging a comeback, dragging the safe-haven US dollar broadly lower. The US dollar index faded a spike to 96.67 to now trade near the 96.50 region, up 0.20% on the day.
Meanwhile, both crude benchmarks are down nearly 1% amid the European political and global growth concerns that could cap the bounce in the resource-linked Loonie. Next of note for the major remains the US core PCE price index, which is seen arriving at 2% y/y in Sept.
