CAD recovers losses
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The USD/CAD has dropped to its opening rate of 1.2225, after having hit a high of 1.2279 levels earlier today as crude prices in the US recovered losses.
Supported by hourly 50-MA
The pair has managed to sustain above the hourly 50-MA located at 1.2222 levels despite the recovery in the WTI Crude futures. Earlier today, the CAD had come under pressure after the WTI futures fell to a low of USD 57.15/barrel.
However, crude prices too, have recovered to trade at largely unchanged for the day around USD 57.80/barrel. Consequently, the Canadian dollar recovered losses. The broad based weakness in the USD ahead of the US session also helped the CAD make a comeback.
USD/CAD Technical Levels
The immediate support is seen at 1.2222 (hourly 50-MA), under which losses could be extended to 1.2179. On the flip side, a break above the daily high at 1.2279 could drive the pair higher to 1.2326 (Apr. 16 high).
