USD/CAD deflates to 1.2110

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - After hitting intraday tops near 1.2140, USD/CAD is now losing momentum and is returning to the 1.2110 area.

USD/CAD struggling above 1.2100

The pair continues its consolidative pattern between 1.2000 and 1.2200 prevailing since late April, although a strong catalyst needed to break it either way still remains elusive.

The pair has already digested last Friday’s Non-farm Payrolls, and is now turning its focus on the potential timing for the Fed’s first hike, with September still on the table albeit December seeming more of a candidate.

USD/CAD levels to consider

At the moment the pair is advancing 0.29% at 1.2108 facing the next up barrier at 1.2145 (high May 8) followed by 1.2164 (high May 7) and then 1.2180 (high May 4). On the flip side, a breakdown of 1.2080 (low May 11) would open the door to 1.2046 (low May 8) and finally 1.2033 (low May 7).

Gold turns positive

Gold prices covered losses to trade positive at USD 1191/Oz ahead of the US session. The recovery in the metal contradicts the drop in the other safe haven assets like the Japanese Yen and US Treasuries.
