USD/CAD hits daily highs but lacks follow-through
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/CAD picked up pace and climbed to fresh daily highs at the beginning of the New York session as oil extended losses to fresh cycle lows in quiet trading.
USD/CAD rose more than half a cent from daily lows and reached a peak of 1.3969 but lacked follow-through and pulled back. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.3940, virtually unchanged on the day.
With no first-tier data or speakers scheduled for the American session, trading is expected to remain subdued, with currencies taking cues from market sentiment.
